It will be interesting to see what happens to PSA. I can only assume they operate high volume/low margin. I don't think LT will sink, but they may need to adjust. |

One theory is lots of people bought a crap ton of lowers and now their trying to build rifles to sell or whatever, that's about all we can figure. |

The precision rifle market is thriving, but that is because the sport is taking off, like three gun was when it started to get big. People are building ranges a d its becoming more accessible.

View Quote No. If it hadn't been the weekend, and I could have just seen a doc at my clinic, I would have. But, being saturday and sunday, I would have had to go to the ER. I based my decision on going to ER, on my temp. It never got over 99, and I began to feel better fairly quickly saturday evening, and the pain shifted. After talking to my mom, about our family history, I will keep in tune with my appendix, and if it flares again, will likely get checked quickly. I seem to be in the clear now though. |
