Respectfully, thats not "all" BLS was doing. They were clearly taking shots at IRG as if it was unfair to them that they would sell the rifle. They were also making it sound like having submitted the gun to the lab and waiting for the FRT was somehow super difficult and involving, and that people should feel bad buying from a retailer who didn't initiate the process . Which is of course nonsense.
And for the record, you still get manufacturer's warranty through IRG.
Youza.
