Anyone seen these new FF rails?

I was browsing TOS and came across a new industry partner that is selling these for $100. I'm not going to jump to uninformed conclusions, but they sure seem familiar.

Chinese trash.

If you only have $100 to spend get a YHM. They are not perfect, but they are American made and a good product for the money.

Yep. I did some more digging, and they're made by a company out of Asia called Guntec.

(BTW, my asking about them was a blanket statement to inform others of their presence. Beware!)

That company seems to do quite a bit of that.

They are an exact copy of the DD 7.0 and are made in China.

TOS does a lot for the gun community.

I'm not one to throw stones, but that particular vendor has more knock off products than I noticed. Knock off Sierra Precision grips for $9. An Aimpoint clone for $200+! More Aimpoint clones for -$100. That Chinese company even rips off the YHM two piece rails. I guess I don't understand why you would rip off a set of $100 rails, then turn around and sell them for the same price as the real product.

Atleast alot of the airsoft stuff can't be used on real firearms, but this just seem ludicrous to me.
