The stock has been on a tear since Obama got elected, effectively tripling. I bought it in my real account at $5.85 a couple of weeks ago. This is just a wager that guns have a future. This stock got really cheap and still sports a modest P/S and PEG. The ex-CEO has unloaded some stock recently and that gives me pause. Still sales were up 25% in the third quarter and sales as whole in the industry are up since the election.

Do you happen to know the breakdown of market share between US gun suppliers? Or even better, worldwide gun suppliers?
