  • I doubt that inventory will last long.

    Gun makers will have long term, sustainability doubts. Meanwhile, CAB

    will sell everything they can get their hands on.

  • I agree with all of the above. The only issue is what p/e ratio is placed on the group?

  • Assault weapons and large capacity clips are the problem, not shotguns and sporting guns. Hopefully CAB will meet or exceed expectations for Q4..

  • I wonder when this carnage at CAB will end... Even a good Q4 won't get it back to it's levels 2 months ago...and guns aren't even the meat of their product line..........Geeez..
