Timberwolf rifle seizer

Received letter from ATF that I must return to them the reciever from the IMI Timberwolf .357 mag. rifle I purchased from New Helvetia Mercantile Co.(Sacramento, CA). Purchased this rifle in a kit(missing about 10-12 parts) from an advertisement in Shotgun News. FFL required for purchase. It seems the recievers on these rifles do not have the proper import marks on them. ?? Is this happening to other gun owners. ?? Is there any way that I can get these special import marks so I can keep this rifle. I contacted the company I purchased this rifle from to see if I could get reimbursed and they all but told me to get SCREWED.

How could you hand your property over to the Gestapo, didn't you sell that thing to Jim Smith at the last gun show?

I'm pretty sure the name I used was Hazim Ali Akbar Smith...what's with this "Jim?"
The damm thing aint worth the hassle.
And the BATFE will not give up, until they have it in their hands.
Dont even try to cover up or lie to them, just more problems.
And, No, there is no other way to rectifiy the matter, other than give the BATFE, the weapon,

Then the BATFE decides latter on that all the kits are "contriban" after the fact.
Then go after everyone that has purchased a kit.
As for as trying to sue the seller forget it, He sold it in good faith that the BATFE had did their job properly.
If your going to try to sue anyone try the BATFE, lots of luck, you have to have the goverments permission to sue!!!
I remember about 2 or 3 years, that Coles Distr, and the improper de-milled IMI Uzi kits that were released by US Customs & the BATFE, what a crap strom!.
Same as in your case, its a lost cause.
One of the down falls of buying kits, building kit guns, or buying kit guns.
