Unless there is a really good reason for this, my Troy products are being sold. I'm looking for a new rail and sights for a build and Troy was at the top of the list, not anymore.
|
|
I love my Troy rails on my SBRs, but if this bothers me. I cannot fathom why a firearms related company will would hire a person that is obviously so anti gun.
That is not a wise move. Depending on how this plays out, I may be getting rid of my Troy rails. |
|
I need two sets of BUIS to finish a couple of my builds. Standing by for response.
|
|
I have a Troy handguard on my SBR, but it will be my last Troy product as long as this idiot is employed by them. I'd really like to hear the reasoning behind this hire.
|
|
Very unhappy. I will no longer buy Troy products if this is true.
|
|
Perfect timing.
This pushed me to buy YHM BUIS instead. Thanks Troy, you saved me $50! |
|
Oh it's true, look at the bottom of the page., How it's true I can't fathom unless the people who run Troy's HR dept are completely and totally inept.
This is REALLY disappointing and I sincerely hope we get an answer and the issue is rectified and never happens again. With friends like that, who needs enemies. What happens next will dictate if I ever buy another Troy product again which sucks because they make my favorite rail that sites on all of my ARs. |
|
I hope this is just a big mistake. How could you guys hire not only an anti-gun pantywaist, but a no-shit coward as well?
|
|
|
The Troy back up iron sights and Alpha rails have been my standard "go-to” build components… I may will have to reassess my component choices if this is not rectified. What’s next… Dianne Feinstein as head of Troy’s new product development? Very disappointed. |
|
Guess troy thought this little move would be overlooked. Hope your happy with you new employee.
There are plenty of pro 2A companies who will gladly take the customers and $$$$. |
|
Waiting on a really good answer from you Troy. We have money to spend and want to know who or who not it should be spent with???????????????????????
|
|
Damn Troy what were y'all thinking hiring this guy, a leopard cannot change it's spots. I don't know what BS he fed you he is an anti-gunner and he must go! Let him go work with Bloomberg and the like.
P.S. I own Troy products and love them but this is the tipping point. As much as I like product I can't do business with this guy on your payroll. |
|
|
At least now I can stop waiting for Troy to finally release their G-3 rail and go buy the B&T one.
|
|
I have one simple question for Troy Industries:
Do you respect the civilian market at all? If your answer is "yes", you need to get ride of J-Fled. Do you really believe he could bring you enough LEO/MIL contracts to justify isolating the civilian market? I hope he is one hell of a salesman, for your sake. ETA: I am done with Troy. |
|
I'm done with Troy products and will stop recommending them to others.

I sent this to Troy asking them to cancel my order:
It's with regret I'm writing to ask you to please cancel my order (currently back-ordered #XXXXX.)
I was looking forward to receiving the part to finish a 10-22 build. However, some recent developments have made me question my desire to give Troy Industries any of my hard earned money. The recent hiring by former Chicago Police Chief Jody Weis by Troy Asymmetric has me dismayed. As a former resident of Illinois who actively lobbied to expand right to carry to Illinois, I'm familiar with Jody Weis. He's a politician who actively fought against rights of law abiding gun owners. In a Chicago Sun Times OpEd, he even was calling for magazine limits this past March, long after he was fired as Chicago Police Chief. I can't in good conscience support a company that would hire, and promote, the hiring of an anti gun rights activist like Jody Weis View Quote Received this response: I have canceled your order. I do apologize for this inconvenience. Troy A
Symmetric is a separate company from Troy Ind. I do apologize and have forwarded your email to the director of A Symmetric. They will be getting back to you with a response. Again I apologize for the inconvenience. Have a great day! View Quote |

I'm just gonna sit over here in the corner and wait for a response
|
|
Please don't make me find another go-to manufacturer, Troy. I'm no high-dollar spender but all three of my rifles have multiple of your parts on them.
Your products are quality and prices decent but there's no shortage of that these days, I see no reason to support those that support our opposition either directly or indirectly when I can get the same price from dozens, if not hundreds, of manufacturers who's parts will hold up just as well and maybe even be a bit cheaper. |

Troy is the company I recommend to all of my friends for rails and iron sights. I can't, in good conscience, recommend them anymore since hiring J-Fled.
How can a gun company hire an anti-gunner like that guy? |
|
I'll be waiting for the response also. This is absurd! All Troy parts for builds are off the table if they continue to employ that coward!
|
|
Tag... because this is a monumentally stupid move. I can't even fathom the thought process that led them to think... "yeah, lets give this choad money."

How can a gun company hire an anti-gunner like that guy? View Quote And how does big a piece of shit anti-gunner want to work for a gun company. This just doesn't make sense at all. The only explanation I can come up with is Troy is trying to get training contracts from the Chicago PD and this ass hat is one of those elite types that think they are above us and have the right to guns but we don't. People can justify anything if they try hard enough. I sure hope Troy pulls their head out of their ass. |
|
I am going tag this too. Seems like a business decision that was not well vetted.
|
|
TAG
Guess Troy sleeps in late these days.....with their new employee, I guess the money is just rolling in. |
|
Well guess I have spent my last money on Troy products......your competitors thank you for your decision. You have been added to my do not patronize list.
|
|
Please explain troy so many of us dump our funds into your pocket. As well as recommending you to plenty of others.
Companies have betrayed the interest of their consumers before and we've seen plenty in this forum alone bite the dust because of shit like that... |
|
If I were a betting man, I'd say odds are in favor of this thread being ignored for weeks and then deleted.
But I've learned that I lose more bets than I win.... so tag for answer. |
