White Oak Sold

Remember when Mega Arms/Zev/US Optics/Colt/Remington/etc...came under new ownership, moved, and their quality stayed the same or got better?
I cant see the attached picture of the email, but some second hand info I got earlier this week is the new owner seems interested in PRS related stuff.
I dont know the owner of WOA (John) personally, but have talked with people who knew him from high power comps. All speak highly of him. As WOA is less than an hour from me I have dealt with them directly, and had brief helpful and enjoyable conversations with John. John is at an age he can retire and I hope comfortably.
Illinois PICA (Protect Illinois Communities Act, aka "assult weapon ban") may have a bit to do with his decision, but that's speculation on my part.
Best of luck to WOA employees/owners, both new and old.

Was a great business and run by a guy who understood his clientele and offered quality products at a reasonable price. Hats off to him in retirement an hope that the new ownership continues to uphold the WOA reputation.
J-A George is President of California Grizzlies shooting team. They have a website. Give it a look.

Can't blame them, IL is not friendly to anything 2A. Craddock, Manticore, now WOA, just waiting for RRA to pull out next. Sad to see.
Hopefully they will be unburdened by what has been.

Cue the stupid gnashing of teeth about quality, customer service, and everything else.
Oh no a business got sold whatever we will do now?
