The only thing I could think to say that isn't over the line is: If you bought something from them and have utilized it in a way "other than intended", now might be a good time to lose it. |

Interesting. But if I have a valid form 1 can, and I bought the plugs, I should have nothing to worry about, right?
I never bought anything from them, but this does cause concern regarding the other parts I have bought from other sellers. Unless the atf decides that preformed baffles (not yet drilled) and the end caps (not yet drilled) are silencer parts... |

Everything I have (I've never ordered from PD, they just happen to be local, so I heard about it) is from SD Tactical. It's all registered, etc. I'm not sure if PD has an SOT, but I know SD does. |

Much like the ATF does not spell out what constitutes an "80% receiver" they don't spell out the line between where a silencer part ends and a "solvent trap, end cap or cone cup" begins. I suspect they are now drawing some lines and as usual they have the last say on it. Not at all surprised by this although how they pull definitions from their nether regions stinks.

People are sure jumping to a lot of conclusions based on a post on one site.
Does it strike anyone as odd that no other site reports these "new rules," or any problems? There are a lot of sites out there making solvent traps, storage cups, and 60 deg cone paperweights, yet none of them report anything? |

It is almost fairly routine at this point that a firearms related company gets raided, they through up their hands and claim they didn't do anything wrong, they get community support over their plight, and it turns out they were less than truthful about what they did, they were in wrong.

True, but they usually use a set of filters that look in the title when you post, and that runs regularly. "Formed Freeze Plugs" seems to be an obvious phrase to filter for. That's why I pointed it out. It's not like so many other items that end up "in code." |

Looks like they have changed their statement on the home page, unlocked the solvent traps, and there is a rather lengthy terms disclosure at the bottom of the page.

Items that were relisted include end caps with the bore holes already drilled. If it raid that part seems odd.
I got a lengthy reply form the owner, for the most part I would describe it as saying a lot without saying anything at all. They are still in business and still selling parts, for their part they don't think they are doing anything legally wrong. It is obvious there was some sort of ATF inquiry, and the their response was to add disclaimers to the pages about the conversion or use of the parts. I asked more direct follow up questions. |

There is a bigger issue at play here....the ATF is starting to realize the potential of the people. To me, this along with 80% lowers, is on the chopping block. And before we think the ATF won't do anything ridiculous....remember they said a shoelace was a machine gun.

For all we know the ATF could have been checking if they were assembling and sending out kits pre made to people. I could easily see the ATF making sure the company itself wasnt building and assembling the suppresors and sending them to people.

I've had some back and forth with prepper's but not much as come of it. I don't think it was a raid and I hate to stereotype people but I could see a "prepper/antigov" type having a overreaction to a simple inquiry. He made a public post about it, but again nothing really relevant information wise: http://form1suppressor.boards.net/thread/561/preppers-discount-speaks-raids-solvent

If you look at several of the ATF press releases on arrest incidents, unregistered home built suppressors are listed somewhat frequently. If one or two of those guys claimed that they ..."order a solvent trap from vendor XYZ and it came that way" or a "...all I had to do was assemble it from what they shipped me" or "...it's designed so all you have to do is assemble and shoot a round through it so its readily converted", then the ATF had an obligation to check up on the matter, which would include inspection of a lot of inventory depending on exactly what was said and how it was phrased.

Slight update. Please bear in mind, I don't know how much of this is 100%.
I was able to get some more info. There was an initial raid, but it was not at PD or the owners. I think it was a drug related deal. The 'perps' had suppressors built with PD parts. Someone in LE believed that PD was selling them as complete suppressors. Then there was a raid at PD and all their inventory was confiscated, but they are in the process of getting it back. At this point it appears PD did absolutely nothing wrong but caught up by overzealous LE. I wonder if it's related to this: http://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2015/10/16/feds-exaggerate-bust-eight-california-weapons-raid/ The cans look like the stuff PD sells....

Just my opinion but those do not look like your run of the mill banger or drug rifles. Way too uniform and clean. There is more to this story but at this point I am having a hard time taking anything peppers supply has to say. They came off as very... Un professional in their public posts, and that is putting it lightly. It was almost like they where attacking the form 1 community for daring to use their pars for form 1 suppressor.

I got an update.....I've emailed them 5 times to the company email address, called twice (first time they just picked up the phone and hung up...second time they answered and said this is the warehouse, we have no answers but here is the personal email of the girl in the office) Emailed her once......no responses from ANYONE. Avoid this company. They have a novel idea but cannot execute as a business. I'm sure some have had a good experience but a simple web search will show far more complaints than praises. It's a crap shoot. With other companies that have a solid business model, why risk it?

to those asking why it is only them that is because they are just looking for someone or another to make an example of. They do not have to read it everybody who sells cones and whatnot they only have to do it to some and then think of the chilling effect that they want. Why did they read that one 80% lower manufacturer in California as opposed to any other one?
fact of the matter is that they do not likethis even know it mostly just serves to encourage people to file more form ones and pay more taxes. |

Then there was a raid at PD and all their inventory was confiscated, but they are in the process of getting it back. At this point it appears PD did absolutely nothing wrong but caught up by overzealous LE. I wonder if it's related to this: http://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2015/10/16/feds-exaggerate-bust-eight-california-weapons-raid/ The cans look like the stuff PD sells.... http://cdn.bearingarms.com/uploads/2015/10/WireAP_654c5dc89a3c4963a0e16a928845995c_16x9_1600.jpg those are awfully strange looking lowers and handguards |

Slight update. Please bear in mind, I don't know how much of this is 100%. I was able to get some more info. There was an initial raid, but it was not at PD or the owners. I think it was a drug related deal. The 'perps' had suppressors built with PD parts. Someone in LE believed that PD was selling them as complete suppressors.

It looks like there are at least 2 variations. The 2 in the top of the photo are different from the 3 on the bottom. |

Top two are from JMT and bottoms ones are Ares Poly80 lowers. Uppers looks standard. Handguards are Magpul MOE SL with railed gas block. In the upper right of the picture you can actually see the JMT jig. |
