Thanks JLawson .
I found that one as well with a google search .
But I know we had one on this site that contained either an update, or a letter from Cabela's .
That is the one I can not find.

I remember seeing it on here also, but nothing comes up in multiple searches.


I did find the following links that say it was a mistake by Cabelas:

Thanks Peg, the second link with Cabela's reply was what I was looking for.
All I could find was hysteria, not one link I found attempted to contact Cabela's.
If AR15 did it was not on the first 2 or 3 pages.
