I wonder if there are any online public records - fire dept runs for example - that could be checked?

That would require a location, all I know is Idaho. Not much help.

Google has a pretty good photo of the location...well, I guess they have a pretty good photo of every non-confidential location.

They have clear enough pictures of my old employer to pick out job specific trucks .

Hate to hear that this rumor is true. I sent him an email a month or more ago to see if he had any of the blue lube in stock but never heard anything and I have never been able to get him to answer the phone. Wonder if he would share the lube formula since he is not gonna try to get back in business ? I'm out.

 

[Ian]

I got plenty of the soft.....if I was a gouger I could probably finance my next rifle off of the competition folks, but I'm not that way. I'm hoping that if this is all true that Veral will at least have lube to keep bean money coming in, I think his wife is the one who makes it anyway.

Did someone try to call or email to see if there is a response?

Ian,
I Hope his wife really likes beans. I will miss the lube and I was half way considering one of his soft nose molds for the .348 .

I did but it was a month ago. Not sure when the fire happened but I have seen it mentioned several places over the last couple of weeks, seems like it is most likely true to some extent.

The fire was reported to have happened on Christmas Day.

 

[Axman]

I talked to his wife a few days back.
There was a fire.
Total loss,
As far as lube making goes, the machine/press is lost but a remote maybe as far as getting back in to lube production. It’s to early for them to say if or when.
Veral is 81 yrs old she told me.

Sad to hear, but thanks for the verification.

That's pretty sad. And on Christmas Eve no less.

 

[KeithB]

Sad, really, really sad.
