Help me out here...can I order a "pumpkin" and all accessories to finish 6.5 brass right now ?

Help me out here...when someone makes an exact duplicate of someone else's product and claims and markets that replicated product as being approved by the original designer/fabricator, but that originator says that is not the case, is there an issue there?

I guess if you keep doing unscrupulous practices and nothing sticks, you can just throw the book of ethics out the window.

There has to be something more to the story. I find it hard to believe Bruno (or any member) would make the claim on here if he knew it wasn't true. Not because I know him, but because things like that are easily found out and investigated here. It would have been easier to say, "Here is my version of the Pumpkin. It is an exact copy of the original but with more options and currently in stock. Etc., etc." That would have been a different discussion, but wouldn't have been misrepresenting someone else.

For a number of people on this forum I believe the resale value of the blue version may be a hard sell. We'll see if he responds to this thread.

Of course there’s more to the story and I have been careful to not name anyone. But the way this thread started by the statement of the original product owner, it deserves a little attention.

A big shame on Brunos’s for this.

Was'nt there an issue with a custom small "O" frame seating press copy
awhile back, and heard something in the wind about a Seb press copy ??

I may be wrong on this but, It was my understanding that if a patent type
was involved, you need to show at least a 10% change in the drawings to
submit for a new product....In the legality of things, it's always, "CYA". if it's
a shade tree boutique item to make a few few bucks on the side; Well it's
really no different if you do not have the properly filed paper work. My
question is whether the name "Pumpkin" for the device was "Trade Marked"
Again it's....CYA

Other then that, there is a matter of scruple's for the quest of the almighty $$$$

I remember the O frame press thread. The man who built them started a post very similar to this one and made the same statement.

So would it not be better to "seize his berries than to praise them"?

This wasn't about rights to or a patent. This was about an endorsement...an approval...from my understanding.

You are correct. Re-reading the OP, It does look like more of a falsified
statement without approval. That alone would put some berries in a twist !!

I think this is what’s called a civil matter, tough to pass judgement on a he said she said thing unless we where there. And I was not.

Nobody in the gun industry patents these high end trinkets. Itll cost more to patent them than theyll ever make. Everybody in the gun industry usually keeps hands off when it comes to copying other’s ideas.

I agree.

You mean like that dirtbag who's coping Sebastian's NEO and guess who's selling it.

Not condoning Bruno in the least but didn’t The Pumpkin (Don) retire and stop making these? I remember Bruno carrying the originals.

Holy smokes…….I just went looking after reading this as I had not heard about it. Those are 95%+ copies of the NEO and mini, what a shame. With all the good that’s in this game, there’s always gotta be one to pull this kinda BS, shameful!

In America we have a thing called free enterprise and patents. If you don’t make it somebody else will. It’s a constitutional right to earn a living any lawful way you can.
