I wanted to support them, I really do.

But I wasnt given the option for a refund, or an option to convert the money to buy anything else.

I used to email every year asking what the status of the order was, but they kept giving me the run around...

6 months turned to a year, turned to 2, turned to 4 and nothing to show for it.

They didnt even publicly announce they lost their case (they got sued by a customer when the 2020 bans happened - theres a pages long thread on CGN).

Anyways in 6 years I've seen them say their hands are tied. Then change their website. Then start making other things. Then start doing lottery/sticker draws for rifles over the past few years. None looked sustainable to be honest.

I would say if it dragged on that long it's your fault you didn't get your money back.

Not sure how that’s reasonable to say when everyone that asked for a refund was told specifically that the funds were held in limbo while their court proceedings were active..

I came across a posting on FB that supposedly customers with losses may be contacted by mail from the bankruptcy trustee. Just relaying info seen, can’t confirm for sure.

Just received a Creditor notification package with list of potential creditors and Assets/Liabilities from the Trustee.
