I talked to Martin a couple years ago about the new relationship. If I recall correctly, the parts sourcing by the Texas folks was part of his interest in doing the deal. In a small shop, managing the suppliers takes you away from the bench, so I think transferring some of that administrative load was appealing. Regardless of the details, I'm confident that Martin will continue to produce quality work. And if you have a problem, he'll be there for you. Ultimately, it's a business, things change, people retire, etc. It's a fine rifle. Some folks call it outdated. It's like good, home made vanilla ice cream. It's better than the flavor of the week that has so much stuff in it, you can't taste the ice cream.
