Awesome. I hope they reconsidered that frame design.

Just got off the phone with Eileen. She confirmed that they will be premiering them at the Paintball Festival in Freedom, PA August 5-7th. Mentioned that they will also be available for sale on their website. The first run will be 12 kits, but production will not be limited to that.

Did she give you a price point by any chance?

skinnyfatguy · 07-12-2011, 04:17 PM

Didn't ask but $750 is what a few others have mentioned.

What does that include?

Last I heard, full AKA Merlin kit + frame.

Full Merlin Kit =
feedneck
body
frontblock + screw
lower tube internals
lightning bolt
bolt pin
pump arm

That's what I got last time I ordered a full merlin kit from them (for ~$400 retail).

Someone may correct me a bit on the contents, the bolt/pin/pump arm may have been "toss ins".

Very cool! Glad to see they kept the Revenge 3way/frame and fixed the frame.
