I am in SC and this is great news! I plan on supporting this business once they escape the occupied territory of CT.
Dayyum... I’m in North Myrtle Beach RIGHT NOW! *
Think they’ll open before the end of the week? I could use a pretty new going home present.
(*To the NSA... I’m NOT at the Hilton. Please don’t send a drone there.)
I live down at the south end.....quieter here. Hope you have a great vacation enjoying the southern hospitality.
This is great news for sc. SC is getting all kinds of manufacturing to move here. Boeing and Otis elevator to name a few.
BTW- I fly the mosquito spray plane for Horry Co. and should be spraying the NMB area tonight. So if I buzz you you will know that you are in good free per hands.
Maybe they'll have an outlet store!
We come down to MB 2 or 3 times a year from the upstate. (Just got back 3 weeks ago) This could be another “must” visit like Mammy’s Kitchen, Family Kingdom and Marvin’s on the boardwalk before it changed owners. Good news for SC!
Appears to only manufacture exotic rifles. (Notice, I didn’t describe them as “assault” weapons.) Love the one with the barrel clip.
