When you update, be sure to post the running total of money out of pocket, even if it's a loan to the law firm.
Thanks. Just got off the phone with Troy's legal reps to let them know after next week my legal counsel will be scheduling a deposition with them. My counsel has taken to litigating this on contingency as long as I pay for the filing fees. Which amount to a few hundred bucks right now. He did mention that up until the actual court date that Dick's will have every opportunity to mediate.
Update. Finally made it in to speak with my attorney today. I am paying for the filing fee's and the rest he is doing on contingency. He will be filing next week. Dick's has 20 days to respond to the filing. He said they'll probably counter file a general denial to our filing in the court and serving them. Once filed we will be putting in a subpoena for business communications between Dick's and Troy. As well as taking depositions from each company. After 20 days for filing time, there will be a 50 day discovery time frame before a court date can take place. The court date will be requested once Dick's has filed their counter to our litigation and denial to the court. My lawyer says right now the waiting period is a bit long. He says he just went into court this week for a another small case like mine and the date was 9 months out from when he requested it.
So more waiting I suppose. Litigation takes a long ass time. But the process for it has been filed. Dick's has a chance up until the court date to actual mediate and settle. So resolution may come sooner.
Fourth, at about the same time, Troy Industries informed us that they stopped manufacturing the Troy AR-15 due to a shortage in a component part, the bolt. According to Troy Industries, in order to purchase the bolt to complete the manufacturing of the Troy AR-15 to the outstanding special orders, Troy Industries needed a decision from us to our future plans related to modern sporting rifles. In light of very recent decision to suspend the of modern sporting rifles, and the uncertain regulatory environment, Dick's was not prepared to determine if or when its suspension would end and therefore could not provide any assurances to Troy industries. 0n December 21, 2012, Troy Industries informed Dicks that it was unable to complete the manufacturing of the Troy AR-15's and fulfill our customers special orders.
Any updates?
Finally an update to make.
My lawyer just called and told me that Dick's is finally wanting to settle to my original demand letter. So I get to keep the original refund check, my original asking damages from the letter, and all attorney fees paid. So I will get back my retainers as well. Not sure when it will all be finalized, but it doesn't look like it will going to a court room at least. Victory for the little guy consumer this time.
Right now typing this while waiting for ironman to start.
What were your original demands again?

fo real...considering there's now thousands and thousands of ARs that just *poof!* crapped into existence thanks to the noble and consumer-loving gun industry always looking out for you.
They should have taken you to court and made you look like the retard you are. Victory for the little guy consumer my ass. You exhibit all that is wrong with "consumers". Some bean-counter made the call is all...you won nothing.

They did not turn over an item he purchased that they had in his possession for political reasons. That is against the law, you can't do that.
Shake the haters, humblepie. Had this happened to any one of these chooches in this thread raging at you, they probably would have just taken it up the dooper and asked for more.
Unless you work for Dick's Sporting Goods, you do not know what their reasons were. They refunded his money to him as well so nothing they did was against the law.
