    Recknagel refocusing production

    Correct, but that means that in the medium to long term, the cost of making more custom (dangerous game) hunting rifles will go up a lot. Which will drive many smaller makers out of business.

    Recknagel refocusing production

    For those that find this information interesting: I have a few rifles being modified, for which certain Recknagel pieces are necessary (ghost ring for CZ550) amongst some other parts. Trying to find some stock, the gun smith called them directly and was informed that Recknagel will be stopping...
