Just FYI - Website say sold out of M53 kits and not accepting back orders. Must have been a lot of kits because they were in stock for ages...

It seemed like this last batch they had they started selling back in September.
I wonder if there are any more M53 kits out there to be imported.

Additional info
Talked with Pam @ Centerfire Tuesday (about ar parts, out of those also) and she said they had a lot of kits on Friday and when she went to order one for a client on Tuesday looked in the computer and they were gone.... It seems that someone placed a large internet order over the weekend and bought them out... Thats all..... Where will the next group come from????? I have to guess did the person that bought all of the oow tripods get these also????
As we know this item has been used in a lot of hold-ups of 7-11 in the Washington D.C. You know 1 person runs in with the tripod and then another with the ammo and another with the GUN and then they hook it all up and then yell out this is a stick up...... LOL... Therefore this will never be allowed to be brought into the county again.......
Bil just to up date you Michael has enought grease for the parts to stop rust, I'm sure....

hmm...I wonder if Robert at RTG bought the lot of 'em.
He bought out AA tripods from another dealer...will have to keep an eye to see if they crop up there...
