Another Swiss Arms PE90 thread
- Thread starter Epoxy7
- Start date
So what is it going to happen? Does everything from rifle to rail come through FN Sports? Are they going to expect a price hike with less customer service in the coming years? Are they even going to continue the import of these rifles??
FN Sports has already released their dealer price list. Their prices on most items are identical. We will continue to have access to parts and accessories. The product line is successful and ther eis no reason to believe anything will change. In fact with SAN improving production, it is likely more rifles will be available without the long waits.

San & Tse
James & JR,
I think I speak on behalf of the shooting community when I say that in regards to the SA line, the service that TSE has provided and hopefully continues to provide has been exceptional given that it was TSE who sourced these rifles, worked with the RC to successfully obtain Non Restricted status on the long versions and Restricted status to the carbine and CQB and patiently worked through the sporadic supply so that we could have these in our market.
Please help us understand if we the buying public and perhaps the LE agencies may influence the parent SAN in their assignment for future distribution. I trust the TSE still holds a valid distribution contract with the subsidiary of which the parent company may simply continue to honour.
In my mind, it would be advantageous to the shooting community to support a service oriented importer/distributor who continues to invest in the shooting community by sourcing new products for the market rather than a predominantly LE only focussed supplier.
Furthermore, I feel that not only will we be better served by TSE if SAN offers dual source access for Canada, we the buying public may benefit in the form of price reductions through perhaps greater competition on these fine products. Exclusive sole source distribution only works if you have a strong distributor who will focus on the product line and has a well established supply network otherwise the 'streamlined' benefits of one importer/distributor will be lost in poor sales and a frustrated marketplace. What may we the market do to influence this distribution assignment if any?

This kinda irritates me - you did all the work and then the corporation made a decision. All the investment you made turns into the profit of some A-holes who had not done a single thing!
Why will Sauer allow R.Nicholls to distribute is beyond me. How can you allow your distributor to handle two competiting brands- HK and Swiss arms ? THis is bad for business - it boils down to the distributor will push for the one that gives them higher profit margin. THis is a retarded arrangment on the part of Sauer and they shoot themselves in the toes.

This sucks ass! 
Now I've got to scramble and come up with the funds for another Classic Green before Jan.!
Fuggin' R. Nichols! I absolutely hate those idiots!
I'm sure there will be lots of PE-90s sitting in their warehouse, waiting for LEO purchase orders that won't come, while they turn away civilians with cash in hand!
I can't tell you how pissed I am right now!
