So your argument is that a several hundred dollar hike in US and Canadian MSRP whilen the guns laguish on the shelves for $1000 USD is justified so M&M, a failing business, can stay open a while longer?
Yeah, that inspires me to invest in their soon-not-to-be supported rifle when they unavoidably crater for making a $2000 AK worth $500 buck stateside. I'm going to enjoy watching this train wreck from the sidelines. Caveat Emptor.
It's not an argument it's a statement. It was an explanation. Would I buy an unproven rifle from a small manufacturer and at a now inflated price in Canada? No I won't.
