All my other cams are Metolius for the simple reason that I can send them in to get factory work done.

I have a BIG HB quadcam size 5 I bought years ago, its close to the size of a BD #4 and I need to have some work done on it. The action needs some work and I'd like to have a new sling sewn onto it.
Who can I send it to? Does HB offer this kind of work? Is HB still around? If not who bought them out? Aren't they a sister company to DMM of Wales?

HB has been gone for years. They weren't bought out by anyone, and they aren't a sister company of DMM, they just went out of business when Hugh Banner died. The only option you have left is to see if another company like metolius would do the work for you.
