[QUOTE="the gman, post: 2875510, member: 11950"] He absolutely did mate. In the post when he explained about the customer emailing him. There was no "customer return" just photos sent. Stop getting this mixed up with your own interpretation of what the man said. Go back and READ what he wrote, not what you THINK he wrote. Jesus, this isn't rocket science, try and keep up. This is a much smaller world than Sitka and Amazon bud. I looked for SRS products because they were well recommended. If SRS is out of stock and I bought the item from JA instead because they were in stock and received something from JA that didn't look exactly like SRS, it is 100% feasible the customer could contact SRS, as the manufacturer, direct. Clearly, not many of you have any experience of manufacturing or patents. A patent can run $50K per PRODUCT before it's granted. At best, its no less than $10K per product. I doubt SRS is making $50K or even $10K a year on rails. And, as an acquaintance of mine, the firearms industry go to patent attorney told me, "a patent is only worth how much you can afford to defend it." It isn't competition if what you're competing against was yours to start with and a thief steals it, gets it made cheaper in China then sells it to a customer base you've educated and created. Certainly not illegal but very shady. Y'all want to jump on SRS but suck JA's appendage. Feel free to do so at your leisure but I've learned a great deal about what kind of people inhabit this forum and it wasn't favorable. I've certainly found out SRS isn't innocent but that doesn't excuse JA from any blame. Again, if JA, along with several other vendors were selling the knock off SRS rails, that would be one thing but, based on my limited search, JA is the sole supplier of these. Ergo, JA ripped off the design and undercut SRS with his own product. I think its unethical and underhanded and JA is on my 'do not buy from' list. Shame because I recently found them for some Savage stuff I wanted but they were out of stock on. I'll count myself fortunate on that score.
