Nosler trouble?

I've been so busy with the custody issue with my daughter and adjusting to her being here, the atf, trying to get ready to open my business and staying in touch with those of you that are planning on having me do work for you that I forgot to post this 3 weeks ago when I found out. This came through one of my sources close to Nosler that the explosion was caused by stockpiled primers put up in the wrong area. I also was told that they are looking at 7 figure fines that could potentially cripple the company. This has all come to me through unofficial sources but people I trust so I guess time will tell but I thought it may be of interest to you guys.

You would think the damage from the explosion and fire done to the company would be a fine in it self and more then enough.

Fines are there as a deterrent, possibly to prevent such accidents. Not like they will forget this and repeat the same mistake, so why fine them now.

My guess if they get in $$ trouble someone like ATK will scoop them up

Hi Rod,

Of course you know that I live a few miles from Nosler. I have a lot of friends there and I have done some work for them. I haven't heard that yet but now that you brought it up I will be asking.

Yeah like I said I got this info from the back door but the guy that told me is well connected in the shooting community so I'm fairly confident what he said was correct or at least what he was told from the people at nosler. I was also told that while John was a very good business man his son isn't quite as saavy and this would rest on his shoulders.

Government bailout!!! (no, not really... just joking...)

Your right Bug, that is the way our middle class and fair trade is suppose to work. If the gov. would had stayed out of GM’s way someone would have bought them out and life would still be good...
