I really doubt any of this is going to happen at this point.
Though usually when I make that kind of statement, an announcement follows the next day or so.
Don't get me wrong, as I'd love a relatively unscathed Beryl clone or domestic MSBS production. Though from Ted's postings here and there, it sounds like they're going to take the same track as the IWI with the Galil ACE and tart it up with "tactical" "upgrades".
The interesting thing with Royal Tiger, they were sitting on around 113 or so of the Archers when they suddenly all vanished. I'm curious what happened to all of them but they like to pricing games, so they may be trying to drum up a mini-panic and then suddenly relisting them for a new higher price. Earlier this year they were at $1000, then it went up to $1200, then $1100, then their special "deal" for $900 + $100 for the optic rail.
The last drop sold them about 3 rifles. I've been tracking prices as I've had a small interest in buying one but ultimately decided not to. I have a Polish underfolder but all of my other AKs are Bulgarian or Romanian, so I don't really want to start down the path of obsession with another country. I'd need a Tantal to go with the Beryl, and it would be downhill from there.
