The point is there is not enough of us builder's left to support a store carrying our need's. Most the LHS's in my area don't even carry ARF's, only foamy park flyer's. That's also why in the last several year's I purchase on line. As for China, in all reality we should count our lucky stars for China and Japan. If not for their people's willingness to work cheap we would not have anything to buy. God only know's we can't produce anything at a reasonable price for many reason's. And I know all the crap this is going to stir up, but it's the simple truth. Between government, insurance, union, and lawyer's it's a wonder anyone is in buisiness.
