Hello
Anyone know the name of the company that took over Melvin Forbes NULA shop? Not Wilson but the folks who are doing gunsmithing out of the WV shop. I thought the NULA phone number would work but doesn’t seem to. Thanks for any info.

I've talked to them over the phone a couple times over the past 2-3 weeks (same number) about a CLR I want to send in. They said, they're still doing all the work NULA did, ship the rifle to the same address. The gentleman I spoke with on the phone said that Melvin had given his employees the opportunity to buy/take over the company and they took it. He seemed pretty excited about it.

Bill Wilson bought NULA, Melvins guys are doin the repair work on ULA, COLT LIGHT RIFLES, FORBES RIFLES and NULAs, I kinda wish they’d took over the whole operation, that young man loved the guns!

I sent them 3 colt light rifles a few months ago. They are building me a 264 win mag, 240 weatherby and 7-08. Building stocks for them, new barrels, and putting timney triggers in them. A few weeks ago they said they were finishing the stocks.

A few weeks ago they said they were finishing the stocks. why 7-08 over .280AI? Just curious. Hope you post up your experience, no reason to think it won’t be any different than before. Hope they do well, would have been a big loss to lose the service they offer for that price.

I'll never understand intentional misspelling in business names.
