Sanchez Machine Taken Out By Smart Parts

[lord1234]

Sanchez Machine has recieved a C+d order from smart parts for infringement....and guess what its infringing on...the fact that SM barrels have "windows" which i guess is a SP patented design

Sux to have a great barrel manufacturer get taken out by these losers!

Didn't they use the same argument against the original Powerlyte scepter and force the redesign of that as well?

so just quit milling the hole in the side...

i am starting to wonder if the gardner brothers used to play a lot of the game monopoly when they were younger and got obsessive I mean this is starting to get stupid, next they will be going after anyone who makes anything that uses any type of propellent ( got a patent on gasses)

DK1 looks like theyre doing something like that. On their site they say there will be a substitue out soon. I think they will just change the hole in the side.

thats exactly right. The orginal scepters had a "window" that allowed you to see what insert was installed at that time....like the freak kit. But SP served them with a C&D order and they had to redesing them to their current "window-less" form. So it is not like sanchez can't keep making barrels, they just have to do a little less milling/drilling.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Mobilize the resistance force Viva le AO Army!

Whats next custom 'Mags that newbs confuse for 03 shockers. Wouldn't surprise me.

Sanchez Machine should just mill the window into a different shape and let SP b**** about it.

[jdaniels]

way around sp

Can SM just sell their barrells with out the windows and then have the owner send it back to them had modify the barrell to put windows in it. They could call it custom milling or something like that. Just a thought.
