Lucky Thirteen shuts down!!!

You lads see this?
Lucky Thirteen is shutting down operations. A loss for Australian manufacturing but potentially room for someone to expand. I wish them well regardless.

Wondering if the prices of the remaining stock will increase in our local stores.

Yes I would expect so. Comes back to that old supply verse demand equation. What a shame they are shutting down. I have a lucky 13 for my Ruger American Ranch. The lucky 13 is a lot more durable (Ruger magazine failed already) and functions better than the factory original that come with the rifle.

Well I just bought the 25 round 22LR mag over the phone an hour ago and the price was the same as 2 weeks ago. However they had no side saddles. If I waited for my licence to come there would be none left so you gotta be quick and buy whatever you can lads.
