    As do I. I never really understood why they went exclusively with anybody. Wouldn't the best way to move the most product be to flood the market with it?

    All I will say is this, If pgaplayerless is going after them, I would bet he gives 100% effort toward it. He was talking about doing it over on Michigan Gun Owners forum www.migunowners.org and I am glad to see he is.

    If they had done this to me, I would be in on this. I would not worry one bit about sending him my contact info.



    BTW: I know my "post count" doesn't lend much credibility on this forum because I am rarely on here, but my screen name is the same on migunowners.org as is the same for several of others that have posted on this topic.

    This is true. If the attorney can't list his real email address, something is fishy about this one.

    Here's hoping Dicks will be put out of business by lawsuits and boycotts. I know I spend a good bit of money with them, and won't be anymore.

    There is a reason for that. Per second hand info from Troy, Dick's cancelled ~4,000 orders. Even if 10% sees my posts and decide they rather talk with the attorneys involved, that's 400 calls they would have to entertain. That would simply not work.

    As previously mentioned by another poster, the legal counsel are known gun-rights attorneys that are also members of Michigan Gun Owners.

    Lastly, the information I'm seeking name/address/contact info is not a "sensitive" information that can be found with minimal effort for those seeking to actually do harm. I'm trying to help out everybody that got hosed.

    Referring to Dicks as DSG. Is DSG Arms the same company?

    +1. I would think that Troy would be able to find a new distributor without much difficulty , especially with their established reputation and the current demand for AR's in general.
    I think one of the reasons that Dick's screwed up was underestimating the demand for the rifles as a result of them offering them deeply discounted as a "Black Friday" deal. I'm sure Troy probably wasn't involved in that decision.

    Not sure if already posted

    Troy defense Posted this on facebook yesterday

    Troy Defense (Troy), a division a Troy Industries, Inc., was deeply dismayed and shocked to hear through national media outlets that Dick’s Sporting Goods (DSG) made the decision to stop selling the Troy Carbine along with other modern sporting rifles. DSG did not contact or inform Troy of this decision prior to notifying the public. Nor was Troy informed by DSG that cancellation letters were being sent to customers, set to arrive on Christmas Eve (a day Troy was closed).

    Troy has invested millions of dollars in its facility and operations to bring its first ever modern sporting rifle to the market under an exclusive contract with DSG. In selecting DSG as the sole distributor of the Troy Carbine, Troy relied on DSG’s high sales forecasts and sales potential prior to undertaking the significant financial and corporate commitment necessary to design, develop, manufacture and bring a new modern sporting rifle to the marketplace. Based on DSG’s press release, DSG’s anti-gun stance is clear – DSG will not continue modern sporting rifle sales and Troy will sadly not see its Carbine readily available — despite the outlay of millions of dollars by Troy and its commitment to support DSG in its distribution efforts.

    Troy is currently researching other channels to ensure continuous and consistent distribution for its rifles. But please note, Troy’s pricing to DSG was based upon volume sales. It is unlikely that pricing to any other outlet in the future will support the pricing granted to DSG. Troy understands the anger of certain DSG customers whose purchases have been cancelled – you got a great price from DSG. However, Troy, itself, cannot come anywhere close to offering the Carbine at the price DSG was offering it. DSG devalued and diluted Troy’s brand when it offered for sale the Carbine at a steeply discounted price during Thanksgiving week. As a result of the sale price set by DSG, DSG oversold and overpromised its inventory. Nonetheless, the current ill-will could have been avoided had DSG not terminated modern sporting rifle sales, promptly canceled overpromised orders, and forthrightly communicated with Troy.

    Troy is hopeful that it will soon identify a new distribution channel for its Carbine. We ask for your patience and support during this difficult and transitory time.

    Best regards,

    Actually it is sensitive information. How do we know that your not someone from in the government trying to get information on firearm owners. Sorry, the internet is a dangerous place and I won't fall victim of a scam just because my emotions are running high.
