And, Ken, are you able to offer any thoughts on the quality of these rifles?
Mass quantities do not, in and of themselves, indicate poor quality. A mass purchase will, oftentimes, lead to a reduced price from the manufacturer as he's running esentially no inventory risk or carrying cost and very little distribution cost comapred to selling the same number through ordinary channels. Sometimes its even very advantageous to the manufactuer as it may allow for a more eficient manufacturing run.
