No great loss to some of us, as Sportsman's Guide won't ship even a rifle stock or a bore-sighter to those in PRM. However, with the French taking over the company one might expect that they could drop all firearms related items and other non-PC items from their inventory!

No great loss. I've bought exactly one item from them. A 640 round Spam Can of 7.62x39 Wolf, early this year. Ended up putting it in the business for stock to sell at Gun Shows. Currently, their price on this stuff is high.

I think that Tom Reilly was their chief negotiator for the sale of the company! [rolleyes]
 
I only bought military clothing from them at cheap prices. After all, ya never know when you'll need two German winter camo parkas for sniper situations.[smile]
Most of their firearms related stuff like slings, accessories, etc. are overpriced and sometimes falsely advertised, then theres the whole boat load of stuff they won't even send here like M1 Carbine handguards or Enfield butt stocks. Its peices of wood for christs sake![frown]
