I was just on the phone with S&W about some business and they say things are crazy at the moment because" THE ATF IS IN THEIR FACILITY PERFORMING A RANDOM AUDIT NOW".
Did that last night. I hang out on the S&W Forum sometimes, and it's mostly pretty stodgy. But since all the trouble, it's become much more political and much more vocal. The S&W Collector's Ass'n. are sort of the Fudds of the handgun world, I guess, but the AR and pistol guys are coming to the fore.
