Desert Tech says NO Deal with Pakistan

Kudos to Desert Tech (formerly Desert Tactical)......of course there will be other companies out there who would rather have the money just waiting to fill in for them.

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (AP) -- A Utah-based gun manufacturer has turned down a $15 million deal to supply Pakistan with precision rifles, citing concerns they could eventually be used against U.S. troops.

Mike Davis, sales manager at Desert Tech, said the company was on a short list for a contract with Pakistan, but spurned the opportunity because of unrest in Pakistan and ethical concerns.

It was a difficult decision because of the amount of money involved, he said, and the sale of rifles to Pakistan would have been legal.

"We don't know that those guns would've went somewhere bad, but with the unrest we just ended up not feeling right about it," Davis told KTVX-TV.

I hate to be a doubting Thomas, but could this have anything to do with the 5 caliber bullpup they are rolling out this month?
