Odds are the lawsuit will bankrupt any operations they actually have, the lawyer will seize & sell the remaining assets, which will probably be less than her fees, so there will be nothing left but a lawyer w/ a new boat named "Rockethub." If they actually have enough cash to hire a lawyer to represent them, then there will be two small boats.

Didn't precision teamed up with cbarms? Cbarms went out of business. And if you loom at the owners name on the Oklahoma business registry his last name is the same owner of nwcp. Odd

If there is an active lawsuit, I wold like to add my name to it.
I just joined this site after finding it searching for information about Jacob DeCramer and Battle Born Tactics. I have file a complaint wit the FBI and will file a complaint with the Reno police if someone there will ever answer the phone. I spoke to the Nevada Secretary of State's office. They indicated my $200 investment/loss was not enough to get their attorney's attention. If it was $200K it would be another matter. The Reno Sheriff's department told me that this would be civil matter and needed to be pursued thru the courts. I am trying my best to notify federal, state, and local officials about this thief. I am not really worried about my loss. I do want to make his life a living hell. I figure that reports to the FBI and BATFE may result in some action but I am not holding my breath. |

For SNF, if you add up ALL that was initially invested it would be WAY OVER $200,000 so the AG's office should really be interested. Someone should ask the local TV stations if the AG's office is covering up for a dirty Deputy.
For those who do not know me, KNOW I am a retired IRS Criminal Investigator that has taken down the dirty Sheriff of Davidson County, Tn (Nashville). I sent his butt to prison and am building a case to take SNF down. What I am trying to build is a solid case that can NOT be plea bargained away. Right now I have a 100% record for winning my cases and will NOT risk that record now. Jason I KNOW either you or a friend of yours reads this thread so I am giving you this chance to make things right with the folks. Otherwise, YOUR ASS will be mine. When I get thru YOUR ass will also belong to a 300 pound cellmate. Quoted:

Fealty arms just posted this on facebook.
"Alright, just got an update from Nate. Some bad stuff has happened and Fealty Arms was forced out of the shop to manufacture. However, Fealty Arms is looking for a new shop and to get all of the equipment fixed and are not giving up on their dream. The bosses will keep fighting and working hard. There should be an email update being sent out in the next few days. Those who accuse Fealty of being a scam, or other such things will be banned from the page. I'm just here to pass word. If you have suggestions about where to get space for machinery at a reasonable price, etc ... let me know and I'll pass those on to the bosses." Add these people to the lawsuit please. |

The website for NWCP has been has a graphic up saying unavailable for the past week.
I sent a email to the admin for the website asking when it might be up again and got this: My client asked me to take it down and did not inform me as to how long. He told me to put up a message to say that the "Site is temporarily unavailable". That is all I know. I am not part of the company. I just do websites. |

I sent an email to SNA asking about my lowers. They claim to be cranking out a whopping 6.8 lowers a day. lol.
Here is their reply: We are still making lowers for our funders, We pre sold 8,000+ lowers in 45 days in 2013. It takes 70 mins to make one lower. 70mins = 1 lower 8hr day =6.8 lowers per day. week=34 lowers Year= 1,768.00 8,000 lowers will take approx 4.52 years after production started. I get several calls, e-mails, and messages asking me what is taking so long. I understand the frustration and want to lay out what had to be accomplished before one lower was made. 1. Form the company Sierra Nevada Arms LLC. *The State/City/County licenses and taxes needed to be filed. (BTW, most banks wanted no affiliation with a firearms company and turned us away. There was only one bank in town willing to take our business). 2. Find a building to manufacture in. *Just as the banks, with the great gun scare, no one was willing to help gun manufactures. 3. Convince an insurance company to insure us. *It took almost 12 weeks to find an insurance company to insure us. The great gun scare made this almost impossible. 4. Hire a qualified engineer/machinist. 5. Purchase and set up CNC machines. *It took several months to purchase and setup the machine. After purchase, all the fixtures had to be handmade (you can’t just go to Wal-Mart to buy the fixtures) 6. Purchase tools for the new machines. *It took 2 months to get the right tools for the job. It takes over 25 tools to make one part. A little manufacturing FYI, it’s about $5 in tool life to make one lower. 7. Purchase aluminum for 8,000+ parts. *The cost of this aside took over 4 months for the aluminum to get in. 8. Make our first 80% lower. *We made our first 80% lower, and then made several more until it was perfect. This takes several months. 9. Submit our 80% lower to the ATF for approval. *It took over 3 months to get our approval. |
|
Cont' due to char limit:
10. Start production and shipping. *We initially did not charge for shipping. It is costing us over $20k to ship 8,000+ lowers. 11. Manufacture Jigs. 12. Production includes coatings. There are several more boring details I’m leaving out. I just wanted to let everyone know what actually went on into making the first lowers. Now that we have an understanding of the process, lowers keep being manufactured and shipped out. I kept an eye out on the other Rockethub 80% lower projects and we are the only one to actually deliver on our promise. Most companies have gone out of business, and some only make a few lowers per month. We are implementing a new order tracking system. Once done we will be posting on our website daily as to what day we are working on...For instance, " We are producing and shipping out for May-18th 2013". Once that whole day of orders is done we will move to the next day. That way you know exactly where you are in line based upon the date you purchased from Rockethub. Once you receive a tracking number, your order has shipped. We have purchased additional machinery that will more than double our production. At the end of the project, everyone will get what they paid for. Thank you for your support. |

8hr day =6.8 lowers per day.
34 lowers per week 1,768 lowers per year At $25.00 each total that's only $850.00 gross per week.
How the hell can you pay rent and electricity let alone payroll? I CALL BULL$HIT

Does anyone know about this? http://www.botach.com/sierra-nevada-arms-ar15-m4-7075-billet-stripped-lower-receivers/ I just chatted with a rep there on IM here is the response: Rep: Good morning How may I assist you?

In reference to visiting SNA:
So, I tried this back in March. I live in CA and was planning a road trip to Idaho. About 2-3 weeks ahead of time I started emailing SNA in an attempt to arrange a meeting so I could pick up my lowers. A friend of mine funded some too so I was going to try to pick his up as well. I told them I would be coming through on a Saturday and that I would arrange my departure time so that I would arrive in Reno at a time convenient for them. i also told them that if that Saturday didn't work, I would be driving back through the next Saturday. I really didn't care which day worked, I just wanted my lowers. I got nothing. I emailed them 5-6 times during the weeks leading upto my trip. Not a single response. Well, I took the time to stop by the shop anyway. If I can figure out how, I will post the pictures I took. Basically the shop is in an industrial area near the airport. Seemed pretty small. Unfortunately they had the blinds fully drawn so I couldn't see a damn thing. Also, none of the surrounding businesses were open either so I couldn't even ask anyone if there was anything going on in the shop. Weeks after I got back I got the exact same response to about 3 of my emails which someone else has already posted. They never did address my specific question about stopping by to pick up my lowers. I'll try to post the pictures. |

Maybe there is some legal hope yet on companies that didn't deliver.
Washington sues card game developer for failing to deliver on Kickstarter promises Ever since Kickstarter launched its crowdfunding platform, it was long believed that backers had to bear the risks of supporting projects. The company itself made clear early on that it isn't liable for damages or loss relating to "rewards or any other use of the service," and many backers have been burned without recourse. That is, until now. Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson today filed a suit against Ed Nash and his Nashville, Tenn.-based company Altius Management for failing to deliver to backers the products they had been promised. Rest of the story |

Yes. An FFL is not necessary to purchase or receive an 80% lower receiver in any of the 50 states in the U.S., since an 80% receiver is nothing more than a paperweight by law. Click here to read The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives explanation. What work is necessary to render the 80% lower receiver complete? Being that the receiver is only 80% complete; the eventual owner would need to complete the remaining 20% of the work. The only work necessary to complete a fully functional 80% lower is drilling 3 holes and minor milling. See attached instructions that come with 80% lower What are the specifics of the products currently offered? Our 80% lowers will be milled using 7075 T6 billet aluminum.

Seems like most are just writing it off. Now me I will not forgive or forget. Thing is I am almost dead and cannot go out there and give him the ass whipping he so rightly deserves!
DA is laughing it off so far as they do not realize just how much the asshole stole from folks. I say 'STOLE' as that is exactly when it is. Matter of fact it qualifies as Grand Theft. Only way we 'might' get some satisfaction without hiring some asshole lawyer who will get most of what is recovered is to get a TV News channel to do an expose on the Thief the Sheriff employs. |
