I recently received an E-mail that has me thinking about the firearms business lately. Supposedly a conglomerate headed by none

other than George Soros ( The man that many say got Obama elected ) bought and then closed Marlin firearms. This story alone would

not mean that much but the same outfit owns Bushmaster, Defense Procurement Manufacturing Services, Dakota Arms, Harrington &

Richardson, and Remington. When people are paying between $300 and $1000 for guns that should cost half that much and you can

hardly find a box of .22 shells nowadays, maybe this message is important. I will be interested in all comments!

I was surprised that nobody has started chambering lever actions in New cartridges since the lever evolution stuff came out with a pointy tip. It seems like the other.308 rounds would be easy to adapt to and give a bit more range.

I wouldn't trust any pointy round in a lever action.

Paul, People need to Google George Soros and Freedom Group. They go hand and hand IMO. Who would be buying up gun Co. when there is so much government regulation being put on gun. Not the best investments. What happened to all the Co. that was making lead, there gone. Just something to think about

I'm wrong as usual. Compared to almost everything else ( except wages ) guns and ammo are still a bargain.

1960........................... Today
New house $20,000.......... $361,600
New car $2,275............ $31,252
Gasoline 25 cents........ $2.45
Income $5,400............ $26,695
Box .22s 50 cents........ $4.50
Shotgun $150................ $1200

So everything is up by a factor of ~10....except income which is up by a factor of ~5.

And I'm not sure about the income comparison Dave. The 1960 was average income, but the 2015 median household income is $50,050, so

I'm not sure I have a fair comparison.
