[QUOTE="BallisticExpansion, post: 2301657, member: 116552"] The only flame annealer patent held is by Giraud. His is a different design. Also I'll place my bet that it would be very hard to argue the wheels aren't a basic knowledge/design. Anyone who would take someone to court over that wheel design would just be making their lawyer happy. Furthermore, I wouldn't be shocked to see Giraud patent not hold in court. If a model similar to his existed before he filed the patent then his patent means jack squat because the design was already common knowledge. It's the same situation with the Mr Bullet Feeder by Double Alpha. There is nothing original about that design. It's a bowl, motor, and collator plate. They can tout their patent and send C&Ds all day long but if anyone ever challenged them it would not hold up in court. I think the only reason someone else hasn't offered these is because there are much more profitable jobs to run on a CNC mill/lathe. I'm just a reloader who wanted a more durable upgrade for an already great product and figured others might also. I'm more than happy to buy/make my own set and move on. This isn't a long term project for me. [/QUOTE]
