You can look at this a couple different ways. Yes, Savage will not be making it any more. But that does not stop that same ML from being made. Henry Ball owns the rights not Savage. I bet that gun will always be made and probably cheaper with higher quality running them thru Bills gun shop. (Henry's son)

Henry now can go back to the full threaded plug and pretty much sale the ML as a custom made ML. I would guess Wakeman would probably be the broker and all sales will go thru him????? Not sure just an opinion.

This could also be a way to get Henry to drop his price to savage as well????? I doubt Henry would fall for that one.
