ARES/Geoff,
...the end of the timeframe in which ARES would allow those who requested and received their deposits back to receive a Shrike at their original contracted prices, what's next for those who still await them?
More lies, more "extentions," more letters...bankruptcy???????
Though it has been MONTHS since I sent it, I have STILL NOT RECEIVED A REPLY TO MY LETTER OF "EXEMPTION."
Why exactly is that??
This treatment of your "loyal" customers who have allowed you to utilize their deposit funds for years and years is beyond insulting. Do you understand? BEYOND INSULTING.
In the time since I received your "letter" asking for exemption from your self imposed new definition and classification of a years old device which is nothing spectacular, ground breaking or NEW in ANY repect whatsoever [a belt feed "mechanism"], you have NOT ONCE come forward with ANY statement or written explanation, and that just furthers my belief that there IS no reason why you cannot sell the Shrike to us in these so called "ban" states because THERE IS NO SUCH BAN on ANY SUCH DEVICE, in ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES. The words "belt feed mechanism" are not found in ANY AWB LANGUAGE IN ANY AWB NOMENCLATURE IN ANY AWB STATE.
You have had all the opportunity in the world to reply to letters; but you haven't. You have had all the opportunity in the world to reply to questions; but you haven't. You have had all the opportunity in the world to make things right; but you haven't. And it is as plain as the nose on my face and literally wreaks of stench.
Haven't you already done irrepairable damage to your reputation over the years through all the silence, broken promises, and excuse after excuse? And yet you STILL continue with this denial scheme?
So what's it gonna' be Geoff? What's the latest in the long line of ARES excuses as to WHY YOU WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH MY CONTRACTED SHRIKE UPPER going to be?
Well I tell you what, if this treatment of your "loyal customers" continues without relief to those who have been overly patient awaiting their product, which they have been waiting years and years for, there will be nothing left to do but to write ATF's Tech Branch for a determination letter for "clarification" and "classification" of the Shrike upper, or, as you now prefer to call it, the new "ARES large capacity ammunition feeding device" - I'm sure that will go over well.
How about you just cut the BS and man up and send me my product that I entrusted you to provide me with when they were finally made available.
