Robocop1051 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 A troll on Facebook brought them up yesterday. I can’t seem to find anything on them in the last few years. Anyone know anything about them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted February 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 https://www.foldar.com/frequently-asked-questions#qa13 Looks like FoldAR is the original designer of some of their products. It also looks like they got busted for being very naughty. I found this on FoldAR’s frequently asked questions... Q13: Is the FoldAR platform the same as the F&D Defense XAR Invicta? A: Yes and No! While FoldAR did invent, design, and manufacture F&D's XAR Invicta (FoldAR's Gen-1 product), many upgrades and design enhancements throughout the FoldAR platform have been incorporated since, making the FoldAR (Gen-2 product) a much higher quality and robust system than the XAR Invicta. At the same time we have brought the costs down substantially from the XAR Invicta production line. We are the original inventors and patent holders for this amazing technology (US Patent Number 9,995,556). However, in late 2017, F&D was provided conditional licensing rights (by FoldAR's parent company) to the technology but F&D failed to meet its basic contractual obligations. This resulted in termination of the license. As a result of this experience, we realized that the only company who could bring this product to market correctly would be us, which led to the birth of the FoldAR brand. Coincidentally, the FoldAR parent company has been in the business of designing and manufacturing high-end AR’s for over a decade, so this venture is no new territory on the manufacturing side. FoldAR maintains exclusive ownership to all manufacturing equipment, processes, and intellectual property rights to produce the folding firearm products. As of January 15, 2018 F&D no longer had any rights to manufacture or sell the folding firearm whatsoever. Any continued sales by F&D beyond Jnauary 15, 2018 constituted patent infringement by F&D. With all rights and capabilities being in control of FoldAR, we are able to bring a higher level product to the market for a much lower price. And this will be our continuing objective and commitment to the consumer. On December 10, 2019 litigation relating to the folding AR between FoldAR and F&D concluded. F&D has been ordered -along with a substantial monetary award- to cease all its activities relating to the folding AR and to return a substantial amount of tooling, parts, and technical data to FoldAR. Coincidentally, F&D has permanently lost its Federal Firearms License as a result of seprate (but related) illegal activity with regards to the manufacture of firearms and is no longer allowed to manufacture or sell firearms.

98Z5V Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 They made some badass CAD drawings in 2011, 2012 - billet receivers, renderings of them. I posted about them here. Reaaaaally wanted them to get produced, and be somethings besides vaporware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) https://www.fddefense.com/rifles/fd308/ Look, they even have "The World's First ,338 Lapua Magnum AR Platform" https://www.fddefense.com/rifles/fd338/ Edited February 11, 2020 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 I found this with a search. It's on (shudders) arf.com Supposed to be from the owner of FoldAR who licensed manufacturing to F&D Defense. Facts: -On October 1, 2019 the ATF raided conducted an investigation of the F&D facilities in Seminole OK and discovered a cache of illegal machine guns. -ATF revoked F&D's FFL. -ATF forced F&D manager/member Brian Shirley to resign his position with F&D.

Bill Alexander makes one, and some dumb cop makes the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
