Actually, EVERYTHING you said is wrong. Listen closely young man and learn not to insult someones business model or their intelligence.
1-AGD is actually AGD USA INC.
2-Roman is a former employee of AGD and has NOTHING to do with AGD USA. The owner's name is DAVE not Roman.
3-It is not run out of boxes. The shop is immaculate. Dave is the second smartest man I have ever met. You know who the first one is and it is not you. You honestly have no idea.
4-It is not run out of a garage. They do not have a retail shop so you can't go visit unless you are special...same way as I run my business.
5-They have plenty of new parts and more being made all the time.
6-They still make guns. They still sell guns. They still make parts. They still sell parts.
Is there anything else you need to know or be corrected on?
i didn't insult anyone's business model, or intelligence. quite the opposite. i wish more old gun companies were run like AGD.
1. not a point of disagreement
2. Roman was the name i remember last time i called them, and specifically put a question mark afterwards because i was not sure of it. it seems he does indeed go by "roman" in some conversations. would it be incorrect to call you "tuna" even though i assume that is not your real name?
3. you understand that a company run out of boxes will still have a shop space right? i mean you have to assemble, test, and measure parts and assemblies. such a space need not be large.
4. glad to hear that, is it an office facility, storage facility, or production facility? where is it?
5. i said as much
6. i also said as much
our only point seems to be where this facility is, not the form, function, or products and services AGD provides. the address listed on the website is a residential one. why they would not list there own business address on there website if they had a site on a business or industrial flat is beyond me.
in a world of google street view, a simple address of this facility is all i need.
here is maybe the best question when it comes to the size/might/production capability of AGD ... is it a one man operation at this point? AGDs business incorperation documents list Dave as the owner, who we presume also answers the email labeled "roman" which would point to it being a one man operation. however they also list a "roman randel" as well. i also assume its daves house the address listed on the AGD website. 401 Florine Court, Cary, IL 60013
a search for both names on linked-in shows no one, but does show several ex-AGD employees, all list there end of employment date as 2005. AGD itself is listed on linked-in as a "1-10" employee company https://www.linkedin.com/company/652...p-company-name they also list themselves as a "logistics and supply chain" company ... run out of boxes sounding familiar?
EDIT: doing more sleuthing yields this address: 804 Seton CT Wheeling, Illinois which is in an industrial/business area, however only 814 and 800 seton are listed in street view. hard to tell though there is a strip of offices right there.
