Received that email too, not sure what that means for the future of WOA, I know what the email says it means........but not sure what it will really mean, sad to see this happen.

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 also am concerned about WOA's future.

I wish WOA would show / post, more.. about the new owners "level" ( ? ) of commitment to quality.

Its hard, to not know what is gonna happen...,.

 

[SoundFx]

Woot! They’re gonna be local to me. Hope they keep up the quality.

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.

 

[6.5SH]

Hopefully they live up to that email.

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.

It kinda sucks cause the SPR Barrel I just got shoots like crap. I'll work with it some more but I really don't want to have to deal with new ownership.

 

[Shifty6BR]

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.

 

[Supersubes]

Moving to my neighborhood. Hopefully the quality stays.

Cue the stupid gnashing of teeth about quality, customer service, and everything else.

Oh no a business got sold whatever we will do now?

Maybe the new owner will know what an AICS and AW magazine is.
