Swiss SIG 553 pistols have hit the US market

Well you are entitled to your imagination. The fact is that JDI has an exclusive importation relationship with San. That is for a period of time measured in years. That is simply a fact.

Do you have a link to reflect that there is in fact an exclusive agreement?

out of a barreled conversion unit. .

what is this? is someone making receivers yet that work with Swiss barrels?

That's a deep burn.

JDI has “conversion kits”, which are simply barreled uppers with gas tube, gas piston, gas valve, and handguard....no bolt group. They are $1600-$1800’ish depending upon configuration.

Oh, yeah...those. I was thinking of the used kits coming in combined with some rumors about proper US-made 550 series receivers for the Swiss parts kits.

I sent them an e-mail to find out specifics.

I imagine the Swiss would welcome any new business.

If that is the case why sign a contract to begin with. It is not difficult to include a floor in the contract.

You cannot open a new car dealership in a small town and order five cars. You will loose the franchise, if you do not meet the minimum order each year.

Someone didn't take business 101.

From what I understand, they will only import a few hundred units total. Now if they had structured it, say, bring in X amount per year- fine but that's not what they are doing from the sound of it. I can imagine K-Var, Steyr, or B&T would love to take over as an importer for them once whatever agreements expire.
