Judge questions prosecution of mechanic who built rifle silencers for Navy Seals | Fox News

First I've heard of this.

Guy has to defend his "off the books" suppressor building for Navy SEALS in court.

 

[Renegade]

What he did was illegal. This was pretty much a giant scam.

 

[Younggun]

I wanna know what kind if suppressor he was building worth $4,800 each?


Can't imagine the Seals have that much use for BMG suppressors.

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

It was probably $4,800 with unlimited servicing for free included in the contract.

"his $1.6 million price for the silencers was far lower than a quote the Navy received from another manufacturer."

wouldn't the Navy verify the manufacturing licsence of a contract holder prior to awarding it?

 

[London]

If the military is having to buy black market stuff our economy is worse than I thought.

From what remember from the original story, the guys brother/relative fixed the contract and is being reviewed as well. He promoted the design as new and didn't put serial numbers on the cans.

I know you can't just fill a gov't contract unless you are set up as a vendor and during that process you have to submit tons of documents. maybe the guys relative was the registered vendor and he was just producing them.
Either way, someone broke some laws it sounds like unless somehow the Navy can bail him out of it
