I bought a flat of 20 gauge on Tuesday I think it was. Maybe Wednesday. Already received my shipment.

Makes sense to shutdown a site when you dont have any inventory or income. Depending on several factors it can be pretty expensive running/maintaining servers for a website.

Most likely RST neglected to pay their hosting fee. My guess is they will be back on line soon.

SXS SHOTGUN SOCIETY
Katrina Wood · 20m ·
Hi - I see that some of you may have noticed that RST’s website is currently down. Don’t panic! Rest assured they are up and running in Pennsylvania, working hard to keep your vintage shotguns well fed!
Morris Baker, president of RST, has been contacted and confirmed that they were in the process of changing over their website and ran into a problem that crashed the site. They are working to fix this.
While component availability continues to be a challenge to maintaining stock and a full assortment of sizes/loads, the company is working through these issues, and is running 20 gauge as we speak!

I heard a rumor that Morris got a quantity of powder from friends and will use it to make a run. I would give Morris all of my powder if he asked for it. I would even give him all of my cigars if I had any.

Bill, I agree and I would too, if I had either. I have been around a few folks, and I believe Morris may be the picture Webster would use to describe “gentleman” in the dictionary.

And I would give him all of… or maybe half of my bourbon.
