Ladies and Gentlemen,
In response to a number of inquiries re: the above, an update.
S&W will participate in 2012 Instructor Purchase Program. The forms have been delayed and are not yet ready. I am told that they will include, besides S&W, their subsidiaries, Walther and Thompson Center, as well. Nice.
Other updates:
a. Appleseed embroidered, button-down denim shirts: nearly ready to start taking prepaid orders. Am hoping that I can get a picture and link on Riflewoman's Appleseed Store site.
b. Still working on vetting the Ruger-TALO Appleseed Training Rifle (or whatever it ends up being called): studs, 1.25" swivels, sling, Tech 100 sights, 2 magazines, and Appleseed identification of some kind. Everything you need and nothing you don't (apologies to Nissan). No - no price yet. Patience, fortitude, and persistence.
Will advise.
Excelsior,

That's great news... do you have any idea how expansive the program will be, like how many guns it will cover? I realize you probably don't really know, just thought you might have some idea from previous dealings with them.
Thanks for all the work on these issues. I look forward to the LTR. I hope to have a Red hat when it is time to order.
