Armed Eye Doc Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) I found this over on Full30. It is supposed to be announced officially on Monday. I don't know if it is true. Maybe @Robocop1051 or @98Z5V can find them at SHOT and ask them what's up. Find them here. Edited January 19, 2020 by Armed Eye Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioactive Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Any official word on this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Truth. Don't have a reason why yet, but I'll find out what the mentality was behind the decision, if they'll tell me, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) This stuff pisses me off. You have companies like Barrett doing the opposite, saying if civilians cant own it, than they wont sell it to LE in that region either.

Cunuckgaucho Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 The higher end FLIR are controlled by ITAR, buddy had to get an export permit for a FLIR unit... wasn't even a scope. This unit is sensitive enough to trace a wire in an insulated wall. Plug a device in to outlet ,give it a couple minutes and then 'photograph' the wall.

98Z5V Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Yeah, don't hate them yet, guys - I didn't find out the "why" today, but I have nothing to do tomorrow here, so I'll get to them with the question. Who knows what the answer will be, could be as simple as "At our price-point for our gear, we only sell about 50 units a year to the .civ market - and we have to downgrade that equipment to make it civilian legal - so it's costing us money." ^^^ALL HYPOTHETICAL, RIGHT THERE - but it really could be that simple. Lemme get an answer before the Lynch Mob is launched... Don't be like the Lib "Cancel-Culture" just yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
