I have heard a rumor that Batson will be discontinuing their made in USA RX7+ and 8+ blanks. We builders will see some closeout pricing on these fine blanks in the near future. From what I understand Batson will try to continue with these desgned blanks but have them made overseas. Their goal of course is to offer a high quality product at a more competitive price. Here is to wishing good luck and future sucess to Batson. And of course it is nice for us builders to get deals on blanks.
