DOES is the operative word........
SAYS just moves a few air molecules around & changes nothing.
I read Kressers statement and like I said he isn't CEO because he's stupid with poor communication skills.
The man is obviously very bright & articulate.
I really hope his statement is not just window dressing and there is a concrete plan of action afoot to change the Braztech parts policy.
Despite the lawyer safety stuff the products are solid & sound & fill the market vacuum left by the closed New Haven Winchester plant in 2006.
Whether we like it or not Braztech is
the new Winchester in regards to providing modestly resourced shooters (ranchers, farmers, country dwellers, people who live off the land) with budget priced, utility leverguns of respectable (if not great) quality.
Braztech needs to realize that the modestly resourced market sector they target with their products cannot afford to be sending guns back & forth to the Braztech factory at $50 or more a pop to have a screw, barrel band or sight replaced. In many of these households the Braztech levergun will be the only tool available for varmint & pest control and home & property protection so the gun being unavailable for weeks at a time is NOT an option.
If Braztech wants to hand their market share over to Remington/Marlin their ridiculous parts policy is exactly the way to accomplish that.
