    From the NULA website " In 2013 Forbes had another chance to turn his custom rifle into an over the counter, mass produced rifle. He partnered again and Forbes Rifles was launched. The outlook was grand but the new company could not build the rifles to demanding standards Melvin Forbes continued to apply to his full custom offerings. Melvin stepped away from Forbes Rifles and in 2015 they folded. "
