That sucks. Erkinator was telling me about them but I haven't had a chance to visit their shop.

Same here really thought I wanted a 10/22 build by them. Maybe they will do part time work for the traders forums

 

[Shemp]

Huh. Had no idea....but I also don't have a 10/22

Damn, just tried to call Jon, the answer machine came on..Nothing said about closing only what their services are. I left a message for him to call me, I will let you know when he calls.

He said unfortunately this is not just for December. @RCT22 will be a tough act to follow. Who is the Rimfire go to guy in GA now.

Was there any reason. Seems like the gun business shouldn't be road right now

Oh hell. I will stop in and check on him on way home tonight.

 

[erkinator 2]

2 great guys there. Most honest guy you can meet. He knew his 10/22 stuff

 

[erkinator 2]

update, yes they will be closing Dec 31st. Rent and high store utility bills killing them at the moment. Going to hang in the background and see about new storefront if reasonable one becomes available.

He's a good guy. I wish him only the best. Did trades and sales with him by mail. Even did a couple when he was in Afghanistan.

Hope they can find a place to work out of and continue business as usual in 2016.

Thats about the time I met Jon also. Ended up his Dad was our agent when we bought house up there. Now his shop was 3 miles from the house. Gonna be a bummer not having them there.

One of my officers talked to Jon Friday, Told me the same thing Erk just stated. He is actively looking for another more affordable, larger place.
