WINDHAM WEAPONRY CLOSING THEIR DOORS

[crc4]

To be successful over the long-term of any business, one must be better at the business end than on the production end.

You can make the best firearms in the world, but if you don't have the necessary business skills, you'll fail.

You can make mediocre products, but if your business skills are great, you can rake in the money.

Under capitalization has been the failure of many businesses. So has being a one-man-at-the-top business without a succession plan when that top man dies.

There are FOUR Beautiful MP AR's on here for sale right now for 475 to a high of 525. You can't buy a model 10 for that money.
These things are a dime a dozen these days. I have two new unfired Colts that I'd basically have to give away. The optics are worth more than the rifles.
I can't say I am surprised they are throwing in the towel.

I have a 1996 Bushmaster A2 variety, it shoot certain factory ammo in 1/4" groups at 100yds. About 5 years ago, I bought a WR-10 in 308, I couldn't get it to do 2" groups under the same conditions until I started replacing parts. (I used 7 different types of proven ammo!) Common story with cheap ARs! But the WR-10 was just shy of $1500!! I think spotty QC caught up with them.

That's sad to me to read.
My box-stock WW 308 gives me 1/2 MOA, or an inch at 200 yds., with a Vortex Razr.

Malysh, that's the gentleman. He is a stand up guy, and helped me on a few occasions with questions that I had. I didn't realize that he had been laid off. I hope he recovered quickly with something even better than he had before!
Larry

Glad you got to meet him. He's a great guy and a discerning collector.

"Quality AR "M4geries" are going for $400."

Not mine.

Take your pick. I have owned several Anderson lowers, no experience with Radical. Joe
