Normal result of everything going on in the states I guess.

Can't build the things fast enough over there so bugger all get exported.

The anti-gun mob over there would do better to just keep their traps shuts.

Every time they mention gun control everyone goes out and doubles their arsenal with anything that's on the list :lol:

From Montana Rifle Co on Facebook.

Ok...funniest thing I have heard in a while, our good friend David Petzal from Field & Stream magazine just emailed me to say that people on their blog are saying we sold to Remington, so that confusion is still out there, and another rumor that our barrels are from Thailand....hahahaha! CRAZY!!!! And another that we were out of business!

Montana Rifle Company is still privately owned by Brian And Jolene Sipe, we are still in Kalispell Montana and have NO intentions of ever moving, we make our own hand lapped barrels in house (video to be provided later) and we are not only still in business but we have never been busier! If any of you, our supporters, see this stuff on other blogs please squash the silly rumors! Thank you and make it a great day![


Brian Sipe who is the owner of Montana Rifle Company was also the owner of Montana Rifleman, which was the barrel manufacturing facility. Montana Rifleman was sold to Remington last year and that is the facility that was moved to Alabama NOT Montana Rifle Company.


So there you go. Good news all round. :D
Now that's been said, who's coming for a shot?

That's about the size of it mauser, it amazes me that so many people get one small bit of info and either don't read it properly or fluff out the rest. The Sipes have had a pretty tough run with some negativity coming from various websites in the US. I'm looking forward to giving a family business a go and bugger the big mobs.

Yes, I totally agree but they haven't helped themselves that much. Their facebook page also has plenty of comments about their website "still" being offline. Business is pretty tuff these days, you can't just assume all is okay if your internet portal is on the blink. It is too big a player in our modern world. The internet is the "information highway" if you aren't on it, the world assumes.........you either never existed or you died and you weren't big enough for anyone to care!

Let us hope the family manufacturing prowess is better than their business promotional ability.

Must almost be good news for these CEO's when people call a gun rally.

They know they'll have to put up with a day of bitching but sales probably go up 10% :lol:
