I handled a couple before they announced the recall, and at least one is still in that store, last time I was there anyway. Makes me wonder if the recall was announced after they began shipping the glued specimens. That one is a Lux, and it seems nicely made, however it is a bit “Euro” for American tastes I suspect. Without the switch feature, I don’t find anything very compelling about it, except that it has some nice irons.

Another recent casualty I find puzzling is the Kadet2 .22 conversion for the 75-series pistols. I have one, and it’s a finely-made unit, and a real bargain IMO for such quality. I’ve also noticed that many parts in their online store are seemingly perennially unavailable, particularly for the 457 rifles. Gotta wonder just how serious they are about the U.S. market. Perhaps, like some U.S. companies, they have military or government contracts that are getting the bulk of their attention.


What fresh Hell is this?
