Mossberg Suing Manufacturers of Drop-In Triggers

[WLJ]

In another instance of the firearms industry feeding on it’s own, it appears that Mossberg is exercising it’s control on the original Chip McCormick patent (US 7,293,385 B2), that it acquired a while ago, and bringing lawsuits against a number of manufacturers of drop in triggers.

Mossberg currently licenses the design to the new CMC company, who has apparently decided to get Mossberg to go after their competition, i.e. anyone making drop in triggers.

A list of some of the companies that are currently named in the lawsuit(s) are:

Black Rain (whose excellent lightweight 3-Gun rifle I just reviewed)
DOA Arms
Tactical Fire Control
Battle Tested Equipment
Patriot Ordnance Factory
RISE Armaments (whose triggers I swear by)
T Vehr Manufacturing
Elftmann Gun Products

CMC Triggers Makes Statement

I completely understand why the lawsuit is happening and agree with their statements from both Mossberg and CMC. If you had a patent for something and another person was copying it, you want want the royalties for your hard work.

I agree, i remember whent they came out and they actually seemed cheesy compared to the old 2 stage triggers, they had narrower hammers and they really had to forge the market.

Im a bit concerned about the timing , i mean why wait this long to bring the suit? At this point its such a common design and millions have been sold, what could happen now?

One of 2 reasons for the suit. Either a C&D letter went out that didn't work and they are now suing for them to stop, or they are suing for the royalties that are owed. It is Mossberg, they may just be slow.

Smh. I know it's not apples to apples, but this is how these things should be handled.

So many things that are after market replacement parts, this is a dick move by Mossberg. Glad I don't have any of their crap in my safes.

I don't own anything by them either. Just because I don't like their stuff.

My only Mossbergs are a 35 year old Model 500 I bought at Target, new for $150, and a 930 I bought from a member here.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

[ssracer]

I've got a 930, I like it

[Niceguy]

930 is my one and only also.

I own Mossberg and if they own the patents on a device , they are entitled to royalties. I

Good! Screw Mossberg!

Will they pay back all the people paying them royalties to make a self contained trigger unit? I believe I read somewhere that Wilson Combat was paying such a royalty. I imagine others have been, as well.
