Vector is practically my neighbor... I hope the charges are unfounded.

Where does it show that HK is suing Vector Arms?
The other links are talking about the owners of Vector Arms with the AEY group being brought up on charges for fraud against the US Government. If that's true, then hang the bastards. Not that I give a rat's ass about the Afghanis getting junk ammo, but I am sick and tired of defense contractors milking the American tax dollars but not providing what they were contracted to supply.

From what I understand HK is taking legal action because Vector was putting "HK53" on their own guns, which i'd be pretty pissed about too. I have a feeling it's more of a cease and desist immediately threat than a move to kill Vector.

FYI the Vector manager is Rex Merrill and is not indicted in this mess.
The mess concerns another business enterprise of Ralph Merrill so there is hope for Vector.
