    Robert- I was more questioning why you left out the lower portion of your suppressor from the pic- the portion that if next to the SF, would stir up quite a few questions:

    And what questions would they stir up?

    I don't know Robert. You were the one who removed the portion of your photo that shows an identical blast chamber to that of the SF can you show...

    We'd have seen them side by side and seen how identical they were...

    We just felt that the idea was to show the difference in assembly and weld quality and that would just be a distraction from the message.

    Kind of like your suppressor would be a distraction in that ad that appeared in the magazine? No difference in my mind.

    ETA: Just trying to point out it's no big deal to try and remove a distraction from a picture that you are using for a certain reason. It's unfair to compare what was done for that surefire picture to these other hackjobs done for obviously WRONG political reasons, outright lying in most cases. Shame on you for posting that Gemtech pic

    They removed accessories from a weapon in a live-action photo used to illustrate a story which was not marked as an advertisement. Ours was an ad and so we have implied creative control. Besides, it was just cropping. They could have cropped out the fronts of the rifles and I would not have said a thing.

    I don't like that they modified the picture, but it's to be assumed that SUREFIRE's Combat Tactics is a cover to cover advertisement for Surefire. Let's not kid ourselves.

    Right.

    While leafing through the magazine in a store, I noticed that "entire contents copyright SureFire" or some such statement was on the contents page.

    I wouldn't expect to see an AAC can in Surefire's marketing materials.
