Has anybody tried the SilentRX $99 suppressor?

Looks like I will be contacting the U.S. Postal Service Inspectors and BATF on Monday. I hate scammers.

I'm a member on another gun forum who was duped by these people. I am posting this info on all websites I can find in reference to silentrx.

So.... Called the ATF today trying to see what to do about this situation, long story short, ATF has no jurisdiction on this.

Contacted their main number, they said to contact Dallas, called Dallas, they said to call Indianapolis, called them, they said to call N Indiana, called them, spoke to the assistant, he seemed to not know much, he transfered me to an agent, he knew something!

Here's what I learned: Several people have called and complained so they're looking into it a little but they said fraud is not what they deal with. The company still has their FFL and will get to keep it unless a they are found guilty of a criminal charge at which point the ATF will then step in and revoke their FFL license. Apparently ripping people off/scamming is not grounds for an FFL license to be revoked I was told, crazy I know. The ATF sent someone out to talk to them but their seems to be no one at the shop. I was told an FFL from Texas was able to get info on them from the ATF as he is an FFL and he is pursuing criminal charges via the post office for fraud.

If anyone knows who this FFL is please let me know as I would like to get in on that.

The ATF took down my info and said they would contact me if anything came of it. The agent I spoke to said he has actually never heard of a situation like this happening.

The ATF office I contacted was 260-424-4440 and the special agent looking into the matter is a Craig Edwards. Please contact him/them to file a complaint and find out any further info.

Once again, please contact the ATF and complain. Maybe if we get enough people in on this they'll do something. I don't expect to get my money back but I would like to see these people busted.

Without the FFL revolved reminds me of the Gpal fiasco 2 years ago. I am still waiting for my money... What was his name Ben ... he is happily married ripping probably the next person of and California nor the feds ever filed charges against him. Fortunately my stake is small but it still pi$$es me off.

Anyone filing a civil suit against these people?

 

[SnoopLoggyDog]

Have sent emails and made phone calls to Silent RX with zero response.

Filed complaints with the BATF and USPS. I paid with a postal money order. Have a copy of the USPS money order, endorsed by the company. No receipt of the item or refund is clearly mail fraud.

Any updates to this situation?

Been in contact with a dealer in TX, who was taken for 5 suppressors. The TX dealer sent me some info, that shows these people are originally from Tenn. They move around a lot and are listed for a couple of different addresses in Kendelville. Several civil judgments against them for previous escapades.

I did several Google searches for this "$99 special". It looks like they ripped off a lot of people from many different forums. From the number of people that commented about making orders, I conservatively estimate that they fleeced at least 100 orders. That would be a $10,000 haul.

Postal Service has been in contact with me. They have opened a case file. No word from the ATF.

I understand using special metals to make suppressors and them costing 1000$. To say a 100$ suppressor is bad doesnt mean a whole lot. You can make a suppressor out of home goods for less than 10$ and its just as good as a titanium/aluminum suppressor.

these people sounds like a joke though.

The issue isn't with the suppressor materials. It's how they took people's money and ran.

Their "sales pitch" to me was telling me that once they ht the market nobody would want anything from HTA anymore.

..............I'm still waiting.

So were any of these guys actually affiliated with Huntertown Arms at one point?

Thanks to the new sales guy in town, B. Obama, I look for them to go up in value.
