A.J. Machine; A J Engineering Frank Wierus Accepted small machining job; took samples; took parts; STOLE PARTS AND RAISED PRICES !! Plymouth, Wisconsin
Went to his shop and agreed to purchase some dummy thompson recievers for display purposes. Actually had to go there because first two that I bought were machined wrong. Spent about 5 hours explaining what was wrong and why and how to corrrect it -- SEEMS the master machinist cannot read a blue print, and missed a machining step. Left five complete 1928 thompson front Recievers, complete with barrel; handguard bracket and flash hider. FRANK said my barrels were the best he had ever seen-- Son Anthony Wierus was there also. Left part to be qouted on also; Namely MG 34 german reciever I wanted a dummy made out of; I left a complete torch cut reciever so that hey could make a CAD drawing; also a 1919A6 Bipod yoke I wanted to make. He took or wanted a 1928 thompson rear sight from me Value $300.00 I though we had a deal but a week later he calls me and said he couldn't make anything because he had a government contract! I told him ship all my stuff back to me and he tells me he made the dummy recievers and wanted like $2500.00 for 5 of them when he qouted me $300.00 a piece. He returns something to me in a flat rate box through the USPS naturally uninsured; box arrives split open -- most contents missing ; last piece of MG 34 reciever was worthless without other parts.
I sue him in Court and he sends a letter to the court on government stationary that says he is a government contracter involved in vital government work--Court has him on phone and he tells them that he will settle this up-- Never does and now thinks it is funny !! I don't think this is funny I am out Around $3000.00 plus in parts and this whole deal is a big mess Seems the Wierus family, Frank, Anthony, are both crooks !!
