Always interesting to read posts from people who absolutely know what's going on, and don't....
Had a 2-hour conversation with Melvin yesterday, but can't reveal the real deal for a little while. I’m happy for Melvin that there is a deal. I hope the company will be in good hands and lives on for many years. Yep.

I doubt the quality will suffer if NULA is taken over by WC.
I have lots of WC products and haven’t found one that I’m unhappy with.
I’d expect a production rifle of the same quality as a Barrett Fieldcraft.

Don't know, but if I were Bill, I'd benchmark it off the MAP for the Fieldcraft when in production, or the Seekins Havak.
He seems to have mass manufacture of precision parts down pretty well, and is savvy on market conditions.
Even if the buyer is not WC, I hope Bill jumps into the Fray.

Amazing how people can be so adamant about being right, when one or the other is obviously wrong.

I like all the secrecy and 'ask me how I know', 'not at liberty to say', and 'cant reveal the real deal' stuff. Do you guys have a secret skwirl society, complete with handshake? Maybe a cool clubhouse? Is Darla involved?....

OK, here's what I know, from a 2-hour conversation with Melvin a few days ago. Am getting weary of hearing different stuff--which will all be public soon anyway.
Bill Wilson has basically purchased NULA. The rifle production will be moved to his factory in Arkansas. For those wo don't know Wilson Combat, they make very high-quality 1911 Colt-based handguns, AR rifles, and (more recently) pump shotguns. Have shot their handguns and ARs considerably, but not the shotguns.
Bill was already thinking of adding a bolt-action rifle to the line-up, and when Melvin decided to semi-retire made a deal to produce NULAs in his Arkansas plant, which has CNC machinery. He'll be able to produce them quicker, and very well. Melvin has already sent the mechanical drawings to Bill.
The NULA back-up service will remain in West Virginia. This includes any modification of existing NULA rifles, or upgrades in Colt Light or Forbes Rifles. Melvin said they usually have about a dozen Colt Light Rifles on hand for upgrades.

Hopefully S/S and (5) fasteners remain a fixture. Pun intended. Hint..................

Brokedicks HILARIOUSLY "convince" themselves of many things,as they Google their Imagination and Pretend. Hint. The blueprint is more than a "touch" established,as The Splendid Pixels convey and obscene round counts correlate. Hint..................
