Just heard that New Untra Light Arm's assets have been sold to Wilson Combat. Rumor or fact?

They were sold to Colt once upon a time and that went so poorly they bought the company back creating NULA from what was once ULA.
But I know the founder/owner isn't getting any younger and would like to retire at some point so it seems very plausible he would try selling it again.

Wouldn’t surprise me. Bill has been snagging some smaller companies as of late.
Greg, I may know where a couple are 😜

Info came from a pretty reliable source.

I tried to do some research and couldn't find anything definitive?

I hope someone picks up the business when Melvin retires. I recently picked up this NULA M20 22 RF. Very nice piece that shoots pretty well with various SK loads.

I don't think he's offering rimfires any longer

I love the rifle and have added a second for my son but I sure wish they would have built it around a better magazine. That is definitely the weak link in the chain

We had Melvin build us a Model 20 in .250-3000 quite afew years ago. It is a rock solid hunting rifle. Usually only fire a few shot per year with it now; one to check the zero before deer season and a few at fur for meat. The zero has never changed since day one.

I just called and asked about ordering a rifle. Mr. Forbes said it would be done around Christmas time...
