    Has North Sylva gone out of business?

    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to get a hold of North Sylva, but it's proving to be quite challenging. I've emailed every address I can find on this forum, their website is completely blank aside from a logo, and their facebook page seems to have a lot of unanswered questions, much like mine. It seems like they've gone out of business. All the emails get bounced back as undeliverable.

    Does anyone have a way to contact them if they are still in business? I'm looking to buy some parts, and apparently they may be the only way I can get them.

    Thanks!

    North Sylva isn't a retailer, they're a wholesaler - as you might expect during the time just before and just after SHOTmas, gun wholesalers are very hard to get hold of because they're busy working on dealer booking orders. They really aren't here to deal with the general public, they're here to deal with dealers. Your local dealer will likely not have any problem getting through to them.

    Have you phoned them? Calling during buisness hours will get you the best results. A quick google search will get you their number.

    And true. They don't really deal with the general public.

    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.

    its a busy time in the firearms world
    There's Mil-spec, and then there's Gunnutz-spec.

    Thanks! I hadn't considered that Shotshow would impact them, but it makes sense. The only reason I didn't consider that they were a wholesaler was because of all the posts of people saying they bought directly through them.

    As for calling, I wasn't able to easily find a number, but I also prefer to email so they can answer when they have availability. I personally hate the phone.

    I guess I'll give that a shot if it's the only way.

    Appreciate the info.

    No need to be rude, I was simply asking for info as all information presented to me led me to believe that they may have gone offline.

    Generally speaking; They do not sell directly to customers.

    Who is being rude .
    Fact is they generally do not answer questions .
    Just go to their forum check out some of their posts & look for yourself .
