What happen to this company? I have had no luck contacting them by phone.

I have been curious about that too. They have been clsoed since before the holidays. Wanted to make several orders but nobody is home.

I hope all is well, they have been great in the past.

Seems they went bust - sadly. We discussed it HERE and HERE of late.

I believe they are just another business in the inevitable long line of imminent failure,

do in part to the economy . Here we are baling out and rewarding failed businesses !. Such as AIG Wall

street financial idiots Automakers Banks Etc. .

When we really should be keeping American businesses afloat that

reside in and provide for Americans !.

Ohhhhhhh c'mon! You don't really want to subsidize "arms dealers" when the global economy needs to bail out Wall Street and GM?

Meet ya on the ARPF where insanity is the norm.

Reloading usually is a sane discussion area.

good lord -- they went of business because they had no inventory .. its NOT a conspriracy

I didn't say it was a conspiracy WHY would YOU say that ?.

Why weren't they able to purchase more inventory ?. Several other shops have been successful , so what

happened ?. By the way where's ALL those Primers you promised back in September Oct. Nov. Dec.

I'm still waiting to see things back to Normal ( I do believe that's the word you used Normal ) ?.

doc,
you r post is self contradictory .. either there's product, or there's NOT ..

back to normal? no federals in the store i went today .. but i stopped counting at 100,000 primers ON THE SHELF, in the 9 basic size .. LR/LRM/SR/SRM/LP/LPM/SP/SPM/209 .. and when i asked "ya'll got anymore in the back?" to which i was answered "yeah, what size you want"

from 29.99 to 36.99 - not even really gouging!


They are back, been back for MONTHS, and because you don't see it aint really my concern .. there's no storage in the 4th largest city in the country, sir

You folks down in the Big T have all the luck ; Still shafting us out here and scarce to locate .

As far as I know Powder Valley wasn't showing any last I looked , I'll check again though .

Just curious as to why Lock Stock went belly up if products are available , wonder what prompted the

closure ?.

I was in the big Scheels in Reno today. Ammo for .223, 22LR and all the heretofore scarce self-defense ammo was in good supply. I bought a 500-count box of Winchester "white box" 22LR for twenty-two bucks. That's twice what it was a year ago, but at least I could buy it. If you boys in close-in CA want some, they got plenty of everything...

Yes, a shooting friend of mine found out that
LS&B's banker shut them down.

The main reason being, that they could not get
their mainstay products in to sell. Bills came
in just as they always did, while profit
nose-dived.

Hope the same does not happen to Natchez, but
I have had no luck getting reloading and optics
stuff they have had in stock in the past. A
friend wanted me to look up what they were
charging for Savage ML's..........none in
stock. In past years, there was plenty of
merchandise to put it on sale this time of
year after hunting seasons.

I'm downunder and we did not have anywhere near the problems of supply you had in the states. My understanding of the situation was that it was wise stocking up for the unknown future after the election of whats his name. You know who I mean.

Given that all the companies initially would have had a run on sales at their usual profit margins then a prudent company should have had a buffer for the subsequent shortages.

I have bought from LS&B for years and I liked them but they had supply problems long before the more recent shortages.

Danno,

I don't think you have to worry about Natchez for the time being, they are a wholesaler as well. That is why they will not sell to residents of TN, AL, and GA so they don't compete with the shops they sale to. They not only supply the retail customers through Natchez but wholesale through Chatanooga Shooters Supply.
