    He put a post on his Facebook page to say hes throwing in the towel.
    He said that Steves Whole sale will now supply Criterion barrels.

    Shoot!! So my $650 credit due to a barrel he sold me that was out of stock might be down the gurgler! I left it with him in good faith awaiting the next shipment ��. He seemed a decent person to deal with....any suggestions team?

    He still seems active on Facebook. Could message him there, or I can send a message on your behalf.

    Yep I am pretty sure you will get all sorted. As I understand it he has had health related issues. All my dealings in the past with NZRAC were really positive. I will be sad to see them go

    The down side of steveswholesale, they will want a bigger margin I expect.

    Thanks for the reassurance and help lads, I’ve had a text from John which is a relief, and as you say I’m sure he’ll sort something. Always a worry when someone drops off the radar. Charlie

    Down side is Steves only sells to dealers so they will need a margin too I guess but thats life

    Upside with Steves is they will likely carry more stock .

    NZRAC had good prices and some great product lines. Sorry to see them go.

    You might be able to import your own directly now that trump has released the export on under $us500 gun parts. While he remains in power...no doubt that the next crowed might make everything difficult again.
