  1. Good Ole Colt Defense Filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Adams Arms is another one.
    So if you want a real authentic Colt LE69 Series With LE Prefix and Colt Defense Marking . Now would be the time .

  2. This week, I completed a 300 AAC build for myself. I always enjoy building my own AR's so that I can pick out the best (for my specific purposes) components. Yesterday, I was talking with a friend that's a dealer, and I said "I'm done building AR's until the prices go back up. I can buy one much cheaper than I can build one." He agreed. So, I know exactly where you're coming from, and I don't blame you one bit. But on the selfish side, I'd love to see you continue with AR videos.

  3. I do not think it is a good decision. Income diversification is key in business. If the problem is customer management or direct marketing, I'd suggest to work with retailers instead, or to put an e-commerce platform in the middle. You know your product, do not disregard all this valuable knowledge.

  4. Sorry to hear about this, but you have to do what is right for you. I still hope you will consider offering rifle/pistol combination training as I hope to be able to attend

  5. Fully understand. But, if someone wants a Springfield Saint or Tread let them go get them. I will not personally support Springfield by purchasing their products. There are AR's and then there are AR's. I finally built my own AR pistol and even with savings of 25% on the big parts, I was still in for $1200.00. Better or nicer cost more than your off the shelf manufactured gun. I have marveled at what you have sold your AR's for realizing what quality cost and what I have spent to build similar. I appreciate your videos, knowledge/perspective, and your ministry. God bless you and your family brother.

  6. I remember, before I purchased my MK18 from you, you was telling me all the reasons why your MK18 build was better than Daniel Defense MK18. When I took it to the range, other guys shooting Daniel Defense rifles/MK18's said you are absolutely correct after I let them sh💥💥t my MK18 built by you. Thanks again and hope to train with you some day❗May God bless and protect you and your family‼

  7. You are in a saturated market right now for AR15s with custom work. I like that you are focusing on training classes and hope to take your T1C shoot n scoot this fall. I first have to get a permission slip to transport my SBR glock from Georgia to Tennessee.

  8. Race to the bottom, feverish capitalism has created some very shitty consumers. One of the largest distributors in the industry went out of business recently because they bet on Hillary winning in 2016 and took on inventory that turned into debt because of it. As for rifles, things cost what they cost. Cheap, Quality, Long-Lasting. Pick two.

  9. I used to build race cars and street rods. I closed up my shop for the same reasons. Customers would always say that such and such backyard shop will do it for less. I ended up working 12 hour days and a couple nights a week i would stay at the shop just so i could stay at the poverty level. I closed up shop and got a job and have zero stress and lots of money. When you own a business it zero money and lots of stress.

  10. Training is always going to be the way to go. Once a customer has bought their rifle, there is a good probability you won't see them again, whereas training is something that is tangible, quantifiable and most importantly, degradable. Training is something people will come back to do, over and over. I think it's a smart choice.

  11. Well brother, I pray whatever you do our Heavenly Father bless you and pour our pressed together and running over financial blessings on you and yours in Jesus name amen!
    Much love,
    Rick

  12. While it might suck for you, this is great for us! I’ve committed to taking training at least one class from every name you can think of for handgun training. And Tier 1 Citizen is def on my list! Can wait for more handgun dates!
