[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2661944, member: 8394"] My thoughts are, with the lack of new stock its hard to recruit users in the key marketing demographic. I'll illustrate, To get a vudoo or rim x you call and 15 minutes later your order is done. 4 months later your toy appears at your ffl. This goes for custom actions, snazzy scopes and other current trend shooting sports toys. To get an encore requires either paying scalper prices on gunbroker or daily hitting classifieds and local shops to find a frame for a fair price. For someone who's in their max earning potential 30-45, they likely have kids a wife and social commitments... they don't have time to find one even if they know they want one. If the oem frames finally hit the market, or some kind of reorganization makes tc re launch Ala marlin, I'd guess you could see a resurgence. Until then they pass along at funerals and estate sales... [/QUOTE]
