Hey Troy-There was another thread over in Larue's section where a guy bought a fake rail and the seller is threatening to take him to court and all kinds of crazy. I checked out this guys ebay auctions and found this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Midwest-Industries-10-Inch-Super-Slim-Super-Light-Keymod-Key-Mod-Rail-/231853883283?hash=item35fb917f93:g:ZlcAAOSw5VFWJ-8S

I dont own this model to do a direct comparison, but I have/had several of your other products and something about this (logo placement maybe?) just doesnt jive with what i see on your site.

Maybe im wanting to see something that isnt there, too.

Anyway, just a heads up.

Thank you for the heads up . I really appreciate it when people see things like this and inform us . This is a cheap import copy . They say copy's are a sincere form of flattery . I say bullshit . He can tell his bullshit to my lawyer.  Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

From seller feedback it looks like he has sold quite a few fakes

Yeah. Im in for the outcome either with rw3045's dealing with ebay or anything Troy feels like posting.

I got hosed on a fake Magpul MS2 sling and a LaRue RISR back in 2013 and ebay basically said "heres your money, keep the product" but werent interested in shutting them down. I see the seller is still out there. .  I started only buying from legit shops and the mfg themselves after that. A few bucks isnt worth any kind of hassle any more, especially one with ebay.

Troy,

Nice to see you taking this seriously.  LaRue hasn't said a thing last I looked.  

Be sure to read up on the Ebay VERO program.  It should give you as the "intellectual property rights" holder they ability to take down fake auctions.

I am paying someone to handle it . This is never easy as the airsoft parts excuse always seems to come up. Its Chinese parts the playing field is not level for American companies.

New username but the same seller.  Same location and has the same return policy.  







Has 2 MI rails listed, I can't tell if they are real or not from the pictures.






















I've reported him for feedback manipulation since they don't care about counterfeits, but they don't seem to care about that either.
