I called just now and spoke to Phil. He says that there have been many things discussed between the two facilities about moving their operation. We, here at AK, were one of the issues discussed. Phil had explained what he calls a "custom job" of rebuilding these roundies to the guys in PA. From what he tells me, the folks in PA are aware of us and should have no problem taking care of us. He plans on bringing this issue up again to them, and told me he'll let me know the outcome of it. For the most part, though, we should have no problem. If we need a tube rebuilt, we are to continue to contact him at the Dallas phone number and he will be the one to handle the "customer service" end of it. So, sounds like he has kept us in mind and plans on helping us as we need it. Only difference is that the tube will be rebuilt in PA instead of TX.

He was also aware that I was planning to bring a couple of duds to him in January, and told me he had planned to save some guns. As long as I get there before the end of the month, he'll be able to take care of me. That there tells me that he hasn't forgotten about us.

For many of you guys, this move to PA should be a big help since so many of you live in the northern states.

When you consider how large this company really is, it's great to know that they have someone there to think about us little guys!
