Counterfeit Muzzle Devices

[DMack]

ALL:

It's been brought to my attention that a certain dealer in California, that used to be a "stocking" dealer for PWS, has been caught selling Chinese made "PWS" Muzzle Devices. These are straight up forgeries and not to be trusted.

PWS makes all of their fantastic muzzle devices in house, in the USA (Boise, ID) and packages them in plastic "Clam Shell" style packaging, with high resolution, full color card stock. Also, all PWS muzzle devices have the PWS logo laser etched on it at the 12 o'clock timing mark.

Making a copy, of a device because it WORKS... is flattery. Making a copy, and then passing it off as the original, even down to the logo and packaging is down right fraud.

I'm just bringing this out as a public service announcement.

PWS makes some VERY good, top tier kit... and I am a huge fan of the company as you all know. Seeing this just makes me sad.

Hmm.. I wonder if they will make the FSC556 in YHM suppressor threads and make the same thing in a 30cal mount since PWS & YHM both refuse to. I'm kidding but seriously though... make what the people want.

Chinese won't make something unless someone else makes it first. It is not their style to be first to the party, so you are still shit out of luck.

Yeah, I'm well aware. I was being facetious.

I've seen fake vortex flash hiders too. The genuine vortex use a 15 degree twist in their slots, the forgeries are straight cuts..

I'm wondering the same thing.

DMack, if you don't want to post it on the open forum, would you please PM me the name of the dealer?
