Help! I'm confused! was created by Lizardette
I wasn't sure where to put this, but I found an auction for something that's baffling the hell out of me.

www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=354097635

The manufacturers website doesn't say more than the description of the auction, but here it is anyway:

aaaclassicar.com/

If this lower receiver works the way they claim it does... Well, It seems like it would be quite a feat of engineering.

Does anyone know anything about this company?

Seems odd to me as well, I wonder if ArmaLite knows they are using their trademark??????

I don't think they are using the trade mark...but showing it excepts the new AR-10 A mags...but as far as fitting a ArmaLite upper...don't really think I would...I don't like big gaps in my Rifle... :S :blink:

After looking at the links posted... this is what I have come up with.

1. infringement on the (AR-10) trade mark.
2. misrepresentation of design.
3. false advertisement.

Now here is why.

1. ArmaLite has the (AR-10) registered and trademarked, so he is using it with out permission.
2. as you can see, the ArmaLite upper does not fit properly as the angles on the ArmaLite upper are angled and do not fit flush.
3. see #2

On a side note... it is modeled after the dpms design and will accept the original ArmaLite waffle design magazine which will also accept the p-mag too.


I will make a call and see what I can find.

Let me add to Mrraley:

1) The guy has a 'gmail' address. GMAFB (give me a friggin break) you are running a business of any kind and using gmail, a FREE mail service, sorry, too cheap or to poor to get a proper e mail and I don't want to do business with you

2) Website. Thats a website selling a high end product, GMAFB!

3) His place of business looks like an abandoned junk yard, Check out on Google maps: 12390 Rendon Rd
Burleson, Texas 76028

4) Then there is the picture window 'tween the lower and upper, maybe that has a purpose, like an AR 10 with a built in radio...

5) His ads on gunbroker: None of it made much sense, showed different guns, hazy description of anything.

RUN from this...

It has been brought to the attention of the powers that be at ArmaLite and with in the hour, a Cease & Desist letter for copy write and trademark infringements.
