    Where do you think the link I gave came from and you misread what PGI wrote...it mentions K2 as a maybe not a fact..this is how skewed rumours happen hence my original comments...and the reply below in this post.

    Mod hat on or not how often do rumours start with someone posting "I read somewhere" or because they read something (badly) they then take it as fact.

      No its not us. If there was going to be a big sale it would most likely be PMI. K2 is still working things out with WGP.

      I wish K2 was interested....

        Market it Tom... blow forward semi-autos. I mean Orr convinced them that the rights to the autococking design were all his, or WGPs... certainly you have as much grounds to convince them buying AGD would give them the rights to every blow forward design. Lie if you have to man... LOL... its time someone took care of you in a big way for all you have done

          I doubt it is PMI, the idea that makes the most sense so far is Eclipse. I could actually see that happening.

            ..

            I foresee the day with ICD being the only competitive small PB company, actually I think that already has happened. *I am not against AGD, just think they are on a downward spiral, and I don't think the DevilMag, Deadly Wind, Logic and Rogue(didn't forget any did I?) have the power to pull the company out of it *

              Kinda makes me wonder what intrest you would have in that. Didn't you sell AGD to Zupe ?

                    If the buyer is K2, my money is on Planet Eclipse being bought out. It makes sense on a lot of fronts. The move is in line with K2's traditional corporate mind set. It may not be the most forward-thinking move but then again, it's not my money and K2 has the largest market capitalization in the industry (if all their operations were to be consolidated numbers wise) so they can afford to make a mistake or two.

                    PMI also makes sense as a second choice. If K2 was the buyer, it would give them a strong paint brand to leverage, augment their current traditional distribution network and give them a strong presence in the American heartland.

                    If I were a Wall Street analyst making suggestions on potential acquisitions basing my assumptions on history and brand recognition, these would be the two companies I would suggest to K2. If I was a Wall Street analyst and a paintball insider, I wouldn't. There are more cost effective acquisitions that can give them more legs on the IP side of thing. But then again, I'm neither.......

                    We'll know soon enough. Hey Manike, can I have some pop corn?

                      Planet Eclipse would make sense. They'd control the high end cocker market. Probably would put Race out of business too.

                          Tom and Bud are good friends, it would be a perfect fit for WGP(K2) to buy AGD. A move in the right direction, if they did it, IMO.

                              I think the infamous "Only I have the insider info" speculative threads are worse
