Guess we all knew it would come sooner or later, but has anyone heard if their lines will be picked up by others? Wanted one of the little Sharps rifles, but now have to look elsewhere. Was also hoping they would get the contract back for the Mini-Mausers.

This spells the end of KBI but I imagine it will certainly not mean the end of Charles Daly® and CD Defense™. Look for this excellent brand to resurface in the very near future.

Thanks Jeffe - Revised the title.

Was also trying to find out what was happening with both, are they going to sell out their inventories or are they holding on for a buyer?

Could definitely impact whether or not I plan to purchase something now or later.

SmallCal:

I mentioned this on the single shots some months back, that the CD Little Sharps were being cleared out. There are still some available pretty cheap NIB on GB but not in the more desirable (to me) calibers of .30-30 or .38-55. I bought a couple of scopes for them, post my GB purchases of Little Sharps in December. You can still get them from Leatherwood, I believe.

Bottom line, I don't think there is any real quantity of inventory left to clear out, but this is just an opinion, not real knowledge.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.
