Charles Daly, CD Defense and Jericho Firearms all effected.
KBI Charles Daly
USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- To all our friends, fans, supporters and consumers of Charles Daly and by extension, KBI products, I regret to inform you that the rumors of our demise are true.
KBI is going out of business and closing its doors, effective today, January 29, 2010.
I don’t want to go into each and every detail as to why this has occurred, except to say that there have been a multitude of events over the past five years that have contributed to our current situation.
For those of you with ongoing service requirements please be advised that we are currently negotiating with several companies that will be performing after-sale service of Charles Daly, CD Defense and Jericho firearms.
As soon as we have finalized a contract with one of these companies we will post the name, address and contact details of that company on www.CharlesDalyForum.com, so you will know who to contact to obtain service on your KBI firearm.
Again, I wish to thank all of you that have supported our company, Charles Daly and all the other fine firearms that we have sold over the years.. This spells the end of KBI but I imagine it will certainly not mean the end of Charles Daly® and CD Defense™.
Look for this excellent brand to resurface in the very near future.
Sincerely,Michael B. Kassnar, President
K.B.I., Inc.
The IDIOT Michael Kassnar entered into some business deal(s) without written contracts and got screwed (of course).
Nice job Kassnar. Please go to college.
it is no suprise there are going out of business they dont keep there word on if your gun breaks that the will fix it. kbi had my hubsands shootgun for two months for a broken locking block and bolt handle, they sent it back to us not fixed and the crap of a letter that they were going out of business. when i sent the gun in to be fixed they said it would take 2 weeks and they would send it back fixed well they didn’t fix it and ever time we called or sent a email to check the status of when it would be fixed we got oh it is being worked on and you will have it back in a week. well two months passed and they finally sent it back with the crap they were going out of business and nothing else. they made it were he missed the entire hunting season due to there lack of not caring and now us cann’t even find the parts to have is gun fixed. so thanks a lot kbi you are a bunch of ass holes.
Next time buy a TriStar. They are true to their word. Repairs take less than a week. The new stuff they have is amazing, reliable, and a great price.
Lee and Regina do me a favor. Run as fast as you can into a wall. Lee your the Idiot. Regina go buy your husband a new shotgun you cheap skate.
KBI and Charles Daly had one of the best reputations in the industry. It is a sad day when honest people lose. Michael Kassnar will be back and strong. Charles Daly and KBI Rules!!!!

Michael Kassnar is a good guy in my book. He has fallen on hard times. My Editorial Asst Melissa shoots a KBI 1911 that’s near stock. And SHE hits common milk containers with it at 100 YARDS! The smallest she has hit is a 1-quart carton, so I just had to do better and hit a 3″X 3 /3″ pint at 100 yards but I have a hyper custom, hand-made 1911 that’s mostly Wilson Combat… but I made it. BUT, I hit it twice!
where can i find a bolt for mt sons 20 ga youth hunter semi auto loader
I have A tactical charles daly semi auto shotgun I beat the crap out of it,as it was only $600 so its my play-millitary-beater..I have shot around 1000+ birdshot,300+ 00-bucks and several boxes of slugs repeatedly,I shoot her in the rain all the time..I have only cleaned this gun about 4 times in the past 2 years (since ive owned it).I shoot so much I broke apart the internals of A tasco 1x RDot shotgun scope.the internal lenses are just clanking around,lmao(no its not still on the gun).not A spec of rust.this gun is more dependable then either of my ak-47′s (russian and A romanian) yes I went there.you can not kill this shotgun.I cut apart 4 shotgun shells and put the powder into A 5th case (total 5x powder load)pack it in,melt it closed and fire it off..the blast will rock your soul.sounds louder then A bloody .50bmg..about 40 of these shots later..still shooting strong.see if you can do THAT and not blow your other brand semi auto shotgun reciever into your face and out the back of your head..if anyone disses charles daly you are just an idiot who has A thing for breaking stuff on purpose or just really really unlucky..either case its your own fault…Honestly WTF? how do you break A shotgun slide?
On my second maxi mag 3 1/2 auto. The first was a POS first the locking block broke then the firing pin.
The ups man had my gun more than I did.
I demanded a new gun and got one.This gun seems to be fine but with out the warranty I think try to sell or trade it in.
Jerry you are the idiot you are just lighting gun power!!! without the lead you you are not developing shit for chamber pressure.
Where you from Arkansas?
I just bought a CD pump Shotgun. Should I expect the same type of problems like those of the semi auto’s? I was at the store and bought the gun on a whim, and the possibility of using it in a three gun match.

Where can I get compact desert eagle .40 S&W 10 round factory mags – # JGR 9062
I have Charles Daly 20 gauge pump that I can not find a magazine tube for. If there are any suggestions it would be appreciated. And I don’t care how “good” a guy the companies owners were, I have only had this gun for a few years and would not have bought it if I knew that when I took it to get it fixed, I was told you would have to trash it because you couldn’t get parts. That is a load of crap. You put a good bit of money into these firearms and expect to pass them down like our others. The only place I guess I can pass this gun is to the dump.
Compact Desert Eagle compact factory .40 mags? any body have for sale or know were to get some?
I see everyone else is haveing Issues like I am, has anyone found anywhere to find any parts I need a Locking Block for the 20ga Field Hunter.
I had purchased a CD CDGK 1566 Superior Hunter VR-MC 12 ga semi-auto years ago and didn’t open the box until last night(21sep.2011).It was missing the bolt handle. I need to find a bolt handle or a reasonable substitute. Any help would be appreciated.
