On Friday, that question was answered on the Charles Daly website (www.charlesdaly.com) in a brief
statement from K.B.I, Inc. President Michael Kassnar:
"To all our friends, fans, supporters and consumers of Charles Daly and by
extension, KBI products, I regret to inform you that the rumors of our
demise are true.
KBI is going out of business and closing its doors, effective today,
January 29, 2010."
Although no detail was provided, Kassnar said there were a "multitude of
events over the past five years" that had contributed to the company's
"current situation."
As far as service, Kassnar's message says "we are currently negotiating
with several companies that will be performing after-sale service of
Charles Daly, CD Defense and Jericho firearms." Details, according
to
Kassnar's message, would be posted at such time as they were completed on
www.charlesdalyforum.com.
