    Funny. I posted an almost identical post in our local PB forum. I just used the Brother Sue-Everyone.

      Yeah, I've been trying to dig up some info on GOG, but all I can tell is that they're selling rebranded Dow33. There's no indication that they've acquired or transfered any of Smart Parts' assets. They are probably trying, though, along with everyone else. The lube thing is probably just so that they can create a small revenue stream and show the banks they're a real company that can put product on shelves fast.

          They must have bought the rights to the freak barrels because they're listed on the site (look like the same stock pics as before).
          Other things like "max-flo" and "fire bolt" make me think they went bankrupt to dump their debt, then bought the rights to all the stuff they used to make with other people's money.
          Shady business practice much? (though totally legal)

                    girl model? thought it was a guy, look closer :P

                    this is kinda old news...if you have been following everything at least.

                    anyone who thought the gardners would go out willingly is naive.

                      That model is a boner killer.

                      Apparently GoG and smartparts markers have the same barrel threading

                          It seems I was wrong about their product lineup...they're selling a rebranded Vibe as well as an SP-1 or something similar. I'm guessing the upcoming xTCy is probably a shocker.

                          I don't want to jump to conclusions, though...it could be that the only reason they're selling these rebranded guns is because they bought out existing smart parts inventory...they may not be manufacturing anything, and they may not own the patents. But then again they do list Smart Parts Europe as international distributor and they're operating out of the old Smart Parts facility. Seems like they managed to buy themselves back out of bankruptcy, but that isn't definitive.


                          Anybody hear anything about Whitehats LLC lately? Their website reflects no changes since about August. Either this IS whitehats, or they may have failed in their takeover bid.

                              Don't start this argument again on AO dude. You and I have a fundamental disagreement on what my rights are. I believe I have the right to blackball anyone I want so long as I don't use force to do so. I am merely letting all the SP haters out there know whats going down so they can squash this monster before it grows another head.

                              I know you think suggesting to other people that they shouldn't do business with these despicable people is using force, but I disagree. I am not suggesting the government shut them down, I'm not suggesting we firebomb their factory. I am merely suggesting a boycott, refusal to purchase their wares. There is nothing anti-freedom about that.
