Guys, we hate to see this going this way as well. Like everything in life we will never get 100% of people to agree, hopefully as this settles and everyone reflects cool heads will prevail.
The best reason for my post is that I continued to work towards as many possible solutions to this issue as possible. I have found yet another and hopefully it will help matters.
As most noted we stopped producing the original T8 some time ago and sold our last inventory back in October. Originally when I searched our "graveyard" to see how many T8's we would be able to build (one of our original solutions was to try and switch components to convert SA-8's) the major problem was we didn't have any T8 style end caps or T8 bodies. When I revisited the issue today I discovered T8 bodies and end caps from a special edition pistol we tried to make. These bodies have a black nickel plating on them that didn't turn out well (cosmetic issues only, surface scratches, color inconsistency, etc.). So, we have yet another option available.
Return the SA-8 (launcher only --keep the mags) plus $50 and receive a genuine T8 paintball pistol (blemished black nickel color...picture to follow asap). We have to purchase/machine several additional components that we do not have but need in order to convert SA-8's and hope to have them completed in the next few days. We can build a maximum of 122 of these, and that is if everything goes perfect. We are contacting all of those who have completed service tickets and have returns on the way, and those who's SA-8's have already arrived as we feel obligated to give them first chance at these. When they are gone that's it, it's all we have.
Again I appreciate the support of those who appreciate our efforts. While we would never expect to please everyone we are doing our best to create different solutions to responsibly assist as many as possible.
Note: It is very difficult to get photo's of this finish, it is black mirrored nickel so it is very reflective. In the one image you can see where there is a multicolor spot. I could not get a photo that properly illustrated the small surface scratches. The bodies vary in condition.
