Update for August 21, 2020-- Another episode in the daily soap opera, "As the Gun (World) Turns." Early Wednesday we received another 10 Troy Defense A4 Other Firearms, appears they are only making 5.56mm and in only black to speed up production along with 10 Churchill 12 Gauge Pump shotguns. The Churchills are Turkish made and quite nice and appears to be a cross between a Benelli and Remington 870 shotgun. Two additional features that I like is the chrome plated bores and removal chokes so you can put a compensator or shot spreader on the muzzle. The 10 Churchills were 5 with pistol grips and 5 with conventional stocks. The Troys were 5 with 10.5 inch barrels and 5 with 12.5 barrels. The 12.5 inch barrels appears to be the more popular at the moment. We placed the shipment on our social media page at 4:00PM (two hours) before closing. we sold 6 Troys in that time frame. At the end of the day we were down to 4 Troys, 1 with 12.5 barrel and 3 with 10.5 inch barrel. We also sold 5 of the Churchills in the same time frame. When we open yesterday, the remaining Troys were sold in the first hour. We are supposed to an additional shipment next week, that will be fun.

Ammo is getting harder to get, we have been out of 9mm "Standard" Range ammo for also two weeks now. We have been selling the 9mm Critical Duty and HST Hollow Points in its place which is considerably more expensive and available. People are starting not to care about the law, we are advising our customers that using a hollow point in self-defense is a crime in NJ. They do not care they only protecting their lives! Ran out of 12 gauge 00 Buck and 5.56mm yesterday. Only a case left of the .223 Remington. Yes, I know there is no real difference in modern rifles but you cannot tell that to the idiot gun "experts" as most modern 5.56mm rifles are chambered for all three, .223 Rem/5.56mm M193/5.56mm NATO. Still good on .38 Special, .40 S&W and .45ACP at the moment. Still getting folks looking for the impossible, I had one idiot attempt to bribe me for a Troy A4 Other in FDE. When I told him they are NOT being made he acted like I have a secret cache somewhere just for him. He ask what should he do? I being a bit of smart *ss especially after the bribe attempt said, "Buy a black Troy A4 Other and spray paint it FDE like we did in the military". So ended that conversation. Been very active in the gunsmithing, the relics are being brought in to fix and repair. I had two double barrel 12 gauge shotguns come in that looks like they were dragged behind a FEDEX truck and put away wet. Rust from the front to the rear and the barrels's interiors looked like sewer pipes for "restoration". Unbelievable! so ends this week's episode in "As the Gun (World) Turns". Stay healthy and safe, Keep your powder dry and remember the family that slays together stays together.

Update for August 23, 2020 - "As the Gun World Turns" Late Friday afternoon we received another shipment of 10 Troy A4 Other Firearms, and 10 Churchill 12 gauge shotguns, and a series of pump action AR platforms in 5.56mm, .300 Blackout and .338 Federal, very unusual looking firearms, since they are pump action and not semi-auto they do not fall under the Assault weapons ban, additionally we also received 5 of the Black Aces Tactical 12 gauge FD12 Bullpup shotguns in Green color, two hours before closing. We logged in the firearms and held them until opening yesterday. On Saturday within the first two hours, all of Troy A4 Other and Black Aces Tactical shotguns were gone. At the end of the day, we had only two of the 10 Churchills left, and none of the pump action AR rifles sold. I guess folks want to spend more money on a semi-auto than a pump action rifle. What fun! We are supposed to another shipment tomorrow, Monday and the fun continues. Still no new ammo shipments.
