I just had to wait 3 months for a $200 order worth of replacement cutters directly from Gunline. And they gave me no price break, even though i could get better pricing from brownells, but they didn't have them so i we t direct Gunline never told me that supply would be any sort of issue and i didnt find it out until after i placed my order with them.
Service was horrible and communication was poor, but i did eventually get them.
Gunline is for sale and i am sure that the current owners are aging and just not caring much anymore. They likely will not sell and just shut down.
I do not know any details with dembart, but a lot of their stuff is on backorder with midway usa and brownells too, so i suspect they are on the way out.
Brownells is starting to carry tools from Ullman, but not a very large selection.
It may start getting very hard to get commercial checkering tools in the next couple of years if this continues. It really concerns me.
I have been thinking of biting the bullet and buying a power setup from Hosford.
