I can't confirm anything, but might be gearing up for HPA?

I saw yesterday on Fox Business that Smith is having a rough year. Sales are off 20%

I thought I remember hearing that Gemtech was bought last year by an investment group or similar.

They reported it could take as long as two quarters to get their inventory down to "normal" levels (whatever that means).

Or a large .GOV contract to provide alot of suppressors over the next few years.

Either way is beneficial I think....if the military says that it's better for the health and welfare of their troops, gives more credence to the HPA.

Too bad Smith doesn't really offer a lot of suppressor ready packages. Could be a new niche market for them.

So prices up, quality down?

Hmmmmm. Makes you wonder. I have 9 of their cans currently. Not sure I would be excited by this move. May need to look for another vendor for suppression in the future.
