I wonder if it will turn into another Springfield...let's hope not.

All we can really do is wait and see how things turn out. Who knows, maybe they will develop the company more and we will see some new and exciting things come from them. Only time will tell...

Ha! Does this mean we can get Bushmaster as an OLL now?

Ordnance......

HOLY HELL

That has bad written all over it. Maybe it's me, but that just sounds like one of those scams where the money comes from nowhere, but enough people get drawn into the lie to belive it's real. What was the name of that kid that did that; was it EZ Carpet Cleaning or something like that.

Even if that wasn't the case, something that big seems like it is out of control. It basically has fingers in EVERY nook of the economy. I wonder if these are just strategic purchases or slowly acquiring all the neccessary components to make a conglomerate company that could produce some specialty product because they own all stages of it's development.

I am definitely going to be keeping my eye open for more info on this Cerberus...

ETA: Found it. It was Zzzz Best Carpet Cleaning. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Minkow

Hopefully the new management figures out if they give dealers a better discount, more dealers will start stocking Bushmaster rifles, parts, and accessories and they could be doing more business.

The hedge fund tried to buy a few hospitals in orange county about 1 1/2 years ago.... Where there's opportunity, they will be there, probably for the worse.

Small Arms

Well if you look around the globe and at General Dynamics wanting to purchase COLT.....there is a lot of business in the small arms market.

With the ol communist block out of commision....that leaves who in the small arms business......

I thought BM didn't really deal w/dealers directly but went thru distribution channels (Lew Horton, Camfour, RSR, Ellett Bros, whatever...) So the dealer deals might instead be w/distributors and not the factory...

That might be true as I get the BM mags from some of the distributors much cheaper than my first batch that came straight from BM. I will have to check out those leads on other BM products. Or I might just stick with RRA, Stag, CMMG, and LMT who like do deal with me direct. Screw em.

Feel the samething here.
