Restaurant sales are down, same with airlines, trucking, sports, hospital electives, brick and mortar sales, etc, etc.....why would the numbers of rifle components be any different?
Battue, when you say "numbers of rifle components, are you talking sales figures or available inventory?
How can you have current robust sales figures when the available inventory is minimal? Yesterday’s robust figures....were most likely inflated due to political uncertainty......brings us to today....and for multiple reasons we have availability issues....
If I had to throw out a guess....it would be employee availability and transport being our main issues. Food and Holiday needs take transportation priority over ammo?
At work here....we are being crushed with staffing issues. Some have been exposed, test + and there goes 14 days. No issues, but +....test again and negative...still told to stay home 14.. Some are playing the fear game and stay home when they think they may have been exposed. Some have a cough and take off to be tested and there goes a couple days at minimum.
