no not under, but things have changed for sure. Over all the AR market is going to be hurting too. No doubt about the market. Very true. So many manufactuers, assemblers came to be the past 7-8 years, MANY parts and guns produced for what everyone projected the political climate to potentially be in this point in time. I have never seen so many quality parts being dumped so cheap, since I got my first AR, nearly 22 years ago. Good for AR consumers, bad for companies. |

I can only assume they operate high volume/low margin. I don't think LT will sink, but they may need to adjust. |

So interestingly complete rifles are really lagging for us but parts are through the roof. Sales are actually increasing off parts which is really weird. 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. |

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. |

This is definitely a good time to be buying, I need to order a few parts still to finish out some builds |
