[jakl]

We are full up at this point for the $80 lowers. My supplier has now raised the price up to $120.....seems to be the going rate and then some recently.
Thanks,

They're selling for a lot more than that on the auction sites.

Hello,
Im interested in this, is this event too late to join? Sounds like people can learn a bit from this, and how this works. I have some money to throw in on this. Thanks in advance.

Not quite following you here,, Are they still 80 for us? and by full up, you mean there are no more at the 80 dollar price? Or do you need another 40 from us?

Do you haven them in hand yet? if so, have your determined when the party is?

[jakl]

No, I do not have them in hand. They called for my cc the other day and said they are in process of shipping out this week. Fortunately, they honored the $80 price from when we originally started this. The original guys that signed up for $80 lowers are getting their lowers for $80.

By full up, I meant that I think doing 25-30 in one day is a good number to start with.....and that is what we are at. Sorry, I could have been more clear.

I will post an updated list this evening, with names and quantities.

For those of you that have emailed wondering if you could get in yet - keep in touch with me or this thread, and if things go well, we will have another one in the coming months.

Thanks for the update JAKL, we are all looking forward to the party!

[jakl]

cc was run today - must be getting close!

[Punisher102]

Jakl, any more news?

[BemidjiDweller]

Hopefully they shipped it already. An Update would be nice, even if it is just a "No new news" type of thing.

[jakl]

They shipped - got them on Friday - inspected them on Saturday and found the 18 of the 25 had a defect. I shipped them back today. The spot face for the trigger guard roll pin was machined way too deep - all the way thru on one of them. A good one should just have the material cleaned up on the forging - the tool had gone .050-.125 too deep into the forging. They are going to try and replace them later this week.....working on getting pics posted right now.
Thanks,
Shannon

I apologize for yet another set back.........I really don't know what to say. Keep your sense of humor, I guess - that is what gets me thru many a days here at the shop!
