As of the first of the year we are making a change to our custom finishes. We will no longer offer custom painted camos direct through us. We will only offer molded in colors and the same high end solid color painted stocks that we have for years. This will not effect any current orders all ready in the system, they will be completed and shipped as ordered, it will only effect new orders.
The main reason that we have moved in this direction is to focus a 100% on what we do best, manufacture the highest quality stocks available.
We feel that by doing this we will be able to better server our customers in the long run and that it will help us reach some of 2012 goals. Due to the tremendous support of our customers, we continue to have a huge amount of growth, which brings us to the biggest goal of 2012, to reduce the lead times. The first part of this goal was our move in 2011 to our new facility. The second part was the addition of the night shift which we started a month ago. The third part is streamlining the operation and making sure that we are 100% focused on what we do best, make stocks. Also by doing this it will help us reach our goal of becoming an industry leader in innovation and release new products like the new line of folding stocks. We are also look forward to releasing a few other new projects in the next few months.
We had a hard time making this decision, but we feel that there are some very good custom painters out there that do tremendous work. They are also 100% focused on doing what they do best, high-end camo’s. One of them is our in house camo painter Branden Burkhart, most of you know him as Shortbus here on the hide. He will continue to work in our finish department, but has also started his own custom refinish business on the side. There is also Greg Ballard, know as ARPredatorhunter here on the hide, both these guys do fantastic work. I will get both to post links to their web pages on this thread, and we will also have links on our web page once it gets updated here in the next few days. We intend to work very close with these guys. Once your stock is done, you will have the choice of us shipping direct to you or we will be more than happy to forward your stock to one of them.
Thank you very much,
