    There was a blurb in the most recent Skirmish Line that they are off the market...if anyone hears of any good leads, please pass it on!

    this is what I heard at the nationals. What we were buying was new old stock that was made years ago for the inline rifles. With them now using 209 primers there was no need for them. Some of the players are trying to get the makers, RWS, to produce them again and are offering to order a large quantity, million or more, to make that happen. Fairy tale , I don't know but sure would like to get back to 35 per K

    I wouldn't hold my breath. The product sold for half the price of comparable products and they still didn't sell many. If you were a manufacturer, which would you make? I would go for the higher-priced items since that's seems to be what folks want!

    Pure supply and demand....
