They make fake knockoff gun parts as well. They have ripped off two of mine so far. The real ones are sold by my distributors...the fake ones are sold on Amazon, purchased by low end gun dealers and resold as the real thing.

I just wonder when this is going to stop.
They are going to take us over a little at a time if the USA doesn't change and stop over spending. ( I Think )

It's not only the Chinese. It's done by U.S. low lifes as well. I had to put up an entire section on my Company website explaining to customers how to identify one of my real guns from a fake one and I added in a certificate of authenticity with every gun that has a seal impressed in the card stock as well.....but that will only last so long, until they rip that off as well.

I guess the Chinese are equal opportunity counterfeiters, looks like you can now buy a fake Wild Thingy! Feast your eyes on the Ding Cheng, a steal at only $59.95 :msp_w00t:
The new and better built wild thing is how i would market that bad boy.

Good thing there's plenty of quality saws from decades past still running perfectly. The other day I broke the chain brake on a Husky display model at Lowes... Just by using it. Oops, guess it wasn't built for that. The plastic anti vibration handle also flexed where it shouldn't have and threatened to snap.
Wouldnt doubt it... and no..I wont be buying....

My boss has gotten a lot of patents in the past, but he quit. Said it is a total waste of time and money. He mostly invents specialty ag products for the poultry industry. Anyway, yep, knockoffs show up within a couple months or something. So, he thought about it, came up with a partial solution.
So what he does now is invent something, prototype it, then he makes calls to his old customers to see about how many he can sell fast, goes back to the shop, knocks them out, sells that one run and thats it. He said the government will do absolutely zero zilch nada about knockoffs, at least at his small scale level.

A lot of Chevy engines are made in china, then shipped to Canada for assembly in things like the Chevrolet Equinox
