Lets all just face it. Change happens, good or bad. When you look at the history of gun manufactures they have the ups and downs. Look at Remington; they use to be a quality gun maker, now they produce plastic toys. Savage was on the brink of non existent and now they are a big player in gun world. I could go on and on. I'm afraid that TC might be on the down side. But if history says anything, TC will eventually make a comeback. We as customers just move on and support the quality gun makers and their great customer service.
