Mossberg® Terminates Relationship with Dick’s Sporting Goods

NORTH HAVEN, CT – O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc., a leading American firearms manufacturer, announced today its decision to discontinue selling products to Dick’s Sporting Goods, and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, in response to their hiring of gun control lobbyists in April 2018.

Effective immediately, O.F. Mossberg & Sons will not accept any future orders from Dick’s Sporting Goods or Field & Stream, and is in the process of evaluating current contractual agreements.

“It has come to our attention that Dick’s Sporting Goods recently hired lobbyists on Capitol Hill to promote additional gun control.” said Iver Mossberg, Chief Executive Officer of O.F. Mossberg & Sons. “Make no mistake, Mossberg is a staunch supporter of the U.S. Constitution and our Second Amendment rights, and we fully disagree with Dick’s Sporting Goods’ recent anti-Second Amendment actions.”

Consumers are urged to visit one of the thousands of pro-Second Amendment firearm retailers to make their purchases of Mossberg and Maverick® firearms. Firearm retailers can be found through the Mossberg Dealer Locator by visiting http://www.mossberg.com/dealers/.

Talking about this in the Springfield Armory thread!

Would be nice if Nike and UnderArmor would do the same.

Wonder what YETI will do?

With a little luck... dry up and blow away.

I'm glad to hear it. I hope every manufacturer follows suit. On a tangent, what connection, if any, does Iver Mossberg have to Iver Johnson?

Is that a test question? LOL Oscar Mossberg and Iver Johnson were both from Scandinavia, Sweden and Norway respectively and Oscar worked for Iver Johnson before leaving, eventuality opening the manufacturing entity OF Mossberg and Sons many years later. Iver was one of the sons.

I'm not sure any of this will impact Dick's all that much anyway. From what I've seen, Dick's is implanted mainly in upscale-ish shopping areas, catering primarily to Democrat yuppies shopping for the latest overpriced designer "gear."

How can we get Ruger to be next?

To All Our Loyal Fans & Customers:
We have had a number of inquiries about whether we plan to discontinue sales to Dick’s Sporting Goods. We do not sell to Dick’s. Ruger utilizes a two-step distribution system in which we sell to independent, federally licensed distributors, who sell to independent, federally licensed retailers. Because the distributors are independent, we cannot control where they sell the products they acquire. However, we share your concerns about how Dick’s is conducting itself and are disappointed by their recent actions. Given Dick’s recent pronouncements, we expect it is safe to assume that you will not be seeing Ruger firearms in their stores. #Ruger #firearms
