[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1267947, member: 4566"] Survival of the fittest and most responsive to consumer needs is kind of the American way I think. Kodak was a blue chip company in 1990. Now....hmmmmm. TWA parlayed massive govt contracts into a huge empire......not many people fly TWA nowadays except for WWII re-enactments. Lots of companies have historically ****ed on their customers for wartime profiteering. Many of them are no longer with us. **** on your core customer base long enough because of an artificially inflated war time demand and smaller companies will retool and slaughter you if you don't take care of your core business. Look at the number of BOUTIQUE ammo makers that have exploded in market share the last 15 yrs. Crap on your CORE market long enough and see what happens. If you would have told me ammo and brass would be easier to find with a Black Hills or HSM label than Federal, Remmy or Winny and I would have laughed you outa the room. Remington alone has murdered the RUMs, SAUMs and is in the process of killing off the 260 if they keep it up. Big corporate American gun makers have really sh1t in their dinner plate the last 15 yrs and I wont forget it and I'm sure many others won't as well. Lapua used to be a niche player in the USA, Savage was a junk gun, Tikka was about as popular as New Coke and Hornady was a BOUTIQUE type outfit not too long ago. Remmy, Winny and Ruger have ****sed away a huge % of market share for a 10 yr boom in military contracts. A lot of companies who did that in the last 100 yrs have found themselves out of business once the temporary inflated market is gone. [/QUOTE]
