I second this motion. A nice delrin pump handle would be a nice option for those of us that can't afford the more expensive box gun/duck inspired styles.

Just out of curiosity in regards to production schedule Josh, but will the R7 take precedence over the Falcon?

Jack, we will be producing them both at the same time. the shop has enough capacity to produce several marker lines and accessories at the same time with no delays

good to hear. i was gonna be mad face if my falcon took longer than anticipated..
hows the factory going along?

[ApoC_101]

new facility a bit delayed, but we'll get a head start on the order anyways and do em as quick as we can until the facilities running. these pistols are so easy I could assemble em anywhere in a hurry... so simple. you guys gonna like the valve and gas system for sure.

Glad to hear it Josh. The thought came to mind, and figured that others might have been wondering the same, but wouldn't ask, and being the town crier as I KNOW I am, I thought that I would just continue along with my predictable ways.

Merci m'sieur !

are we actually able to claim s# for the second run?, cause if that's the case, I'd like to reserve s#57

Are you planning on having customers pre-pay for the pre-order?

[ApoC_101]

Russ, when the facility is ready to go, I'll have an open house and invite a bunch of people, definitely you and north shore pals included!!! there will be food... but no booze... maybe some beers, we'll see...

Tug, yes were going to open pre-order payment on both lines of markers right away, I need to show my investor that we are ready for action, by filling up the paypal account... gives me a lot more credibility and leverage with getting some real funding into the main account

we know we can deliver the product quickly too, I am very impressed with the machine shops work, and they have promised to put our work at top priority. very good team of guys there (I worked for em for 5 years so we are well acquainted).

breech is first strike compatible now, already made the changes

oh yea, I have no idea what happens if you actually try to chamber a first strike round.... in a breech drop... the bore after the breech needs to be pretty loose to chamber a first strike easily, and if we do that, its going to make rollouts easier. not a fair trade IMO, so I will leave the bore behind the barrel at .685. think it will work? anyone here ACTUALLY use first strikes often? ive shot em twice, and I cant find em (i have a bunch somewhere), to measure the OD and check it in CAD for chambering geometry.

[ApoC_101]

hmm, well the barrel can be anything, but the chamber of the gun is a set diameter, between the breech (where the bolt is) and the barrel bore (which is changeable cocker threaded). we can use .690, but its going to probably reduce efficiency slightly, and consistency because the ball not being fired from the same spot.... not a good idea in either case. if we make it tighter, first strike rounds might not chamber well, possibly even break.
