Had a similar conference meeting with Messrs.FAL,Colt & Kalashnikov on this particular topic & all are in agreement that the only option is to resist to the bitter end.
:-) Brother-in-law let me know that Mr. Savage, Mr. Browning, and every single brother of Mr. Remington, concur...Mr. Savage, being of advanced age, feels able enough to fill a support roll...Kudos to Mr. Savage!
