The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Defiance Action 18 Month Follow Up

1 hour 21 minutes

It's been close to 18 months since Bob Beck and Eric Stecker bought Defiance Actions and it looked like the Internet was going to explode. The Internet drama machined ramped up into overdrive and since that time it's been pretty quiet.

During my last podcast with Team POI we touched on Defiance and what happened in terms of logistics and material support. Cole quickly changed the subject which lead to a phone call from Competition Shooter Nick Gardazi. Nick asked if I would open to having Bob Beck from Extreme Outer Limits on the show, which of course.

After a short back and forth, we landed, Nick, Bob and Eric on the Everyday Sniper podcast to talk about the transition during the initial moments they bought Defiance through today. Areas of discussion with this episode include:

Initial Purchase of McMillan Stocks

The Decision to Purchase Defiance

The Reality of buying Defiance

The Initial Fallout of buying Defiance

Where Defiance is today

Where Defiance will go on July 1 2024

There is a little bit of business talk when it comes too the financial reality of buying Defiance Actions, however this adds important context to the steps that were taken immediately afterward that angered the shooting community

This was an honest and open discussion, I did not feel anyone was overly defensive which to me was a good sign. And the anticipation of what they are doing moving forward as well as a look where they need to be as a team player.

The key was Builder Network, how does a company supply and manage the builder network as that is where the problems arise. Delays in stocks, delays in actions, delays in barrels all add up. The model is support the builder network with best practices moving forward and it looks like they have a plan.

Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, and thanks for being a part of the everyday sniper podcast.
