Franklin safety company booming under Smith & Wesson
A year ago, the sale of Universal Safety Response to iconic gun maker Smith & Wesson was billed as a synergy play that would enable the Franklin-based maker of safety barriers to piggyback on S&W's client base. So far, so good: In reporting its fiscal fourth-quarter results, Smith & Wesson said USR sales have jumped by two-thirds in the past year.

When gun maker Smith & Wesson bought Franklin-based Universal Safety Response in July, it paid $58.3 million in cash and stock. The deal also came with earn-out provisions based on Smith & Wesson's stock price (Ticker: SWHC), which has since steadily trended lower. That means the earn-outs are now worth about $7 million less.
