I'm elated that the case was dismissed. Not necessarily over as Ron can sue me in GA as expressed earlier by FrankDrebin. I'm prepared and on my home turf. I am hoping to avoid any further litigation, but not much I can do at this point other than take the high road and bow out with humility making no attempts to inflame the situation.

My counsel, Dan DeSouza, has performed a dear service to me and my family. I would not have been able to mount as credible a defense without his skill and generosity. Dan is a true friend and one of us at the M14TFL where this all started. He approached me about wanting to help. His filings were concise, succinct and well-written. Dan provided constant advice and mental support. Thanks Dan for everything.

I would also like to thank my supporters and those contributing to my defense fund. This was a tough situation and acutely stressful in the very beginning. You helped keep my head on straight allowing me to continue with career and family duties. Thanks and please understand I am not out of the woods yet. Please keep my family in your prayers.

To all those commenting, whether positive or negative, thank you for voicing opinions and maintaining presence of this complaint. My only substantial resource is public opinion and the vast majority of individuals saw through the smoke and mirrors. Many took the opportunity to assault my character and theorize my reasoning and motivations. I can assure you it was not callous nor deliberate as many have suggested. I don't hold grudges and its nothing as far as I'm concerned. It's the past and that's where I'll leave it.

I will update those interested via this thread or start a new one if novel activity within GA courts is begun. Again thanks for your attention, input and advice. Much obliged everyone.

"...All others produce some variation of the M14 rifle, for what it is worth...." Actually a copy of the M1A. An M-14, semi'd or not, is an MG according to the ATF.
"...not like the old Cast steel, that was prone to cracking...." Like your engine's block? Cast is not bad. Neither is MIM or any other modern production technique.

Just a note to the OP. The only producer of M1A rifles is Springfield Armory INC. It is their trademark. All others produce some variation of the M14 rifle, for what it is worth.

Same is true of the AR10 and Armalite, which is the only company that makes an AR10. All the other 7.62 rifles go buy some other designation despite everyone calling them AR10's, which technically they are not. But then what about the AR15? Colt is the only one that makes one..........

Check the m14 forum. Forged RockOla is the way to go.

albert has it right. These Forged RockOla receivers # 040 and #041 M21 DMR followed me home from Camp Perry this year. Excellent product to work with. Along with Bula Forge bolts and NM med weight barrels, these critters are producing " repeatable" sub moa performance. Not bad for a 500. buck forged receiver. James River has added something to the M14 lineup that we can all be proud of.
