Anvil Arms

The lower receivers I've been using for my AR15s were made by a company out of Lakeland, Florida called Anvil Arms. They are no more. The product was excellent and the service friendly; but that was not enough to keep them in business

They appear to have been foreclosed on and there are several irate customers on www.ar15.com who are posting quite vocally about it. I don't think it was malice that caused Anvil to take their money and leave them hanging, I think it was optimism coupled with denial. I'll bet they honestly believed that they would turn the corner on their profit/loss "real soon now" and all would be better... Alas. The classic grew too fast, bit off more than they could chew business failure.

Some of these irate people are attempting to figure out where the owner of the company lives or works to make an attempt to get their money back. Jon Kruger, the person, legally, owes them nothing. Anvil Arms, the company, does. Anvil Arms was liquidated and auctioned off to pay creditors; very rarely is there anything left over for customers who've paid and not received product.

Yes, it sucks for those who lost money; but this is how incorporation and limited liability work. The very title, "limited liability" should tell them something.
