To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if it took quite a long time for Alexander arms to figure out what was happening... I don't know anything about patent law, but my guess is its worse than any firearms law in the U.S.,
There aren't very many examples of these rifles floating around for Alexander arms to find, then notice a patent infringement...also they might have been trying to figure out whether or not these other companies even had patents, or who had them first.
I wouldn't be so quick in believing that whoever was posting on the TFL was Alex Robinson.... I'm not saying it was or wasn't, but this is the internet and its not hard to impersonate someone.
But I do know, that regardless of who "invents" it, whoever patents it wins.. end of story... so I guess if Alexander arms was smart and noticed a part they could patent then they could throw some competition under the bus through legal shenanigans.
