I hope this information is useful to all the shooters in the Northeast. During an internet search I found that some of the members here have also had experiences with Vito.
RE: Vito Gurevich and Auto Burst Technologies
I would not recommend Vitaly "Vito" Gurevich a.k.a. Vmon at Uzitalk/ Uziduzit on Silencer Talk or Auto Burst Technologies. The following is an account of my dealings with him.
6/04/08 Vito advertises his 9mm two stage suppressors on Uzitalk.com. I emailed him expressing interest.
6/05/08 Vito emailed me and told me I need to buy as, “they are going fast.” We made deal and I sent payment.
6/11/08 Check cashed
6/12/08 My SOT got Vito’s FFL and SOT information. My SOT told me his Form 3 transfers times are, “running 3 weeks to a month and Form 4s are running two months.
8/4/08 I called my SOT after 9 weeks. My SOT told me did not receive the Form 3. My SOT called the BATFE. The BATFE said they have nothing in the system. I called Vito. Vito said BATFE probably lost his Form 3 it due to the fact he faxed it. Vito said he resubmitted the Form 3.
9/21/08 I called my SOT after six weeks. My SOT said he had heard nothing. My SOT called the BATFE. The BATFE said they had nothing in the system. I called Vito. He said he would resubmit the form 3 because, “The BATFE probably lost it again.”
10/27/08 After 4 weeks, BATFE approved the Form 3.
10/28/08 I called my SOT. My SOT called BATFE. BATFE told my SOT the Form 3 was approved 10/27/08. My SOT and I started the Form 4 on a Trust. I called Vito and let him know the Form 3 was approved and we are starting the Form 4. Vito says will send the suppressor when he got his Form 3 returned. I pay my SOT his fee and the $200.00 Federal transfer tax. My SOT sends a company check with the tax and the Form 4 on a trust.
12/4/08 I visited my SOT’s shop to see if the suppressor had arrived. My SOT said no.
12/4/08 I emailed Vito and ask him if he sent the can. Vito said no. Vito told me he did not receive the Form 3. Vito emailed me back and told me he spoke with the BATFE. Vito said the BATFE would send him the Form 3.
12/17/08 I called BATFE to check on Form 4 sent 10/28/08. The BATFE said nothing was in the system and no check had been cashed. They told me to resubmit.
12/24/08 My SOT resent the Form 4 on a trust with a new check from me. The SOT credited me for the first $200.00 check against transfer fees on four other NFA transfers I had with him.
1/2/09 Form 4 Tax Paid check cashed
3/2/ 09 Form 4 went pending
4/3/09 Form 4 was approved
4/15/09 I visited my SOT’s shop. My SOT reports he was not sure where the can or the approved Form 4 were. I called Vito. He said he never got the Form 3 so he never sent the can. My SOT faxed Vito a copy of the Form 3. Vito said he would send the suppressor out to my dealer that day. Vito did not send the suppressor.
4/27/09 I called my SOT. My SOT said the suppressor has not arrived. I called Vito and inquired where my suppressor was. Vito told me that he would send the suppressor to my dealer. Vito sent it out the next day.
5/1/09 I called BATFE to find my Form 4. BATFE said the Form 4 should have arrived. The BATFE connected me to the examiner and he sent out an endorsed copy.
5/4/09 The endorsed copy arrived. I went to get my suppressor from my SOT. The shop guys could not help me as my SOT was on vacation for a week.
5/13/09 I picked up the suppressor.
5/21/09 The original Form 4 with stamp arrived in mail.
5/23/09 I tried screwing the suppressor on my weapon and discovered the mount/blast baffle had the wrong thread pattern for any existing 9mm weapon. I sent Vito an email.
5/25/09 I called Vito. He said to return the mount/blast baffle for an exchange. I sent it back.
5/31/09 I emailed Vito and asked for verification by a tracking number for shipment. No reply came.
6/1/09 I called Vito. He said the blast chamber was, “going out the door”. Vito did not send the part.
6/5/09 I called to confirm the part left. Vito said the part left. Vito did not send the part.
6/11/09 I called Vito after I found nothing in the mail. Vito said he had not sent the part originally because he did not have a replacement blast baffle with the right thread pattern. Vito said that my 9mm suppressors from Toys for Big Boys (the manufacturer) has the incorrect threads. He said this was an unforeseen problem from the company he bought them (TBB). He said he made an unanodized replacement part with his CNC machine. Vito said he was adding it to his next order for anodizing. Vito said he would send the blast chamber to me without the anodizing, if I wanted. I stated I wanted what I paid for, a complete and finished suppressor. Vito said he could complete the part in, “two weeks”
7/6/09 I called Vito again. He said the part was at his anodizer and the anodizer company would be on vacation from the 4th of July to the end of the next week.
7/13/09 I called again. Vito said he has not heard from his anodizer. Vito wanted me to call him back on Wednesday 7/15/09.
7/15/90 I called Vito. He said he had not picked up his order from the anodizer. He said he would send someone to pick up his order and send it. Vito did not send the part.
7/20/09 I called Vito. He said he had not picked up the order. He said he would pick up the part himself and send it. Vito did not send the part.
7/27/09 I called Vito 2x. No answer.
7/28/09 I called Vito 2x. No answer.
7/30/09 I called Vito. Vito said, “ I’m was sure the part had left my shop.” Vito said he was on vacation for the week. Vito said he would call his guy at the shop that night and make sure the part left. The part was not sent.
8/2/09 I sent Vito an email asking him to send the part and give me a reply with a track and confirm number. I got no reply.
8/3/09 I called Vito and ask if his one of his guys sent the part. Vito said it was probably in the pile of stuff on his desk that was created while he was on vacation. Vito said he would send the part out either tomorrow or the next day.
8/5/09 Vito emails me with a USPS tracking number for shipment.
8/10/09 USPS email alert says that a package has been submitted.
8/12/09 The part arrives. It has the wrong threads for the second stage of the suppressor.
I called Vito. He tells me he will make a new part. He said that he copied the replacement part from another can that he had in innovatory so he could not understand what went wrong. I asked if all the parts, except the 1st stage serialized tube, could have been switched between the 9mm and .45 suppressors. He says yes. He said he would make all new parts from the other 9mm suppressors he has in his shop.
I tell him that if he had another 9mm suppressor in stock this whole time, he should have changed out the right parts 6 months ago. I reminded Vito that I have been waiting for 14 months. He agrees that I will hold the serialized 1st stage tube and send all parts from my suppressor back to him. Vito will send the replacement parts he had in stock, to me.
8/13/09 I send my parts to him.
8/15/09 USPS confirms my parts arrive at Vito’s.
9/1/09 I called Vito and ask if he sent the parts. Vito said he did not. Vito said he would put them in the mail. Vito did not send the parts.

9/21/09 I called Vito. No answer. I left a message on an answering machine.
9/22/09 I called Vito. No answer. I left a message on an answering machine.
9/23/09 I called Vito. No answer. I left a message on an answering machine.
