So, these kits are gun parts from known major brands, and a mostly-finished lower that the buyer gets instructions (and usually some jigs) how to finish out.

But, what else is new, right? The Governor just said the other day that Californians have to throw away their gas-powered tools by 2023. Made himself an f’n HERO to arborists and landscapers Statewide.
What’s maddening is that these people don’t even need to win their case to achieve their end of destroying these companies, and the market in “80%” receivers.
They just have to bleed these small companies dry through legal fees as they try to defend themselves.
