I'd have to say too that absorbing, merging, consolidating smells fishy & typically points to some type of financial instability, i.e. either they could not manufacture tubes/their products economically or their sourcing modells were a bit on the expensive side. You can call it a guess, but the preponderance of evidence is pulling the scales for V-C to be more of a firearms merchant. Hold out for as long as you like, you could be right. If V-C was the primary and absorbed the others, it might be the light of a glimmer of hope, although quite dim?


Kind Regards,
