Freeflow Dark (avaiable Feb 11th)

[jokers]

So the new Freeflow marker has been announced and teased. Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts and opinions on it. I hope that they have an option for the smoked anno that they show on it.

[BlindFaith429]

Clean and simple, I like it. That smoke anno is nice, very subtle

[iamthelazerviking]

The Dark cocker has always looked awesome. Wish I could justify getting one but it will be well worth the wait for those who do. You will be able to get any kind of ano done for extra. I believe they will be offering a few colors for X amount, then custom will be a little more.

Im impartial. Seems awfully plain for a freeflow. I get they are capturing the retro Dark fan base with this body, but it just seems like a backwoods shop mill job on a bridgeport.

doesn't look like they are doing the Reg milling....

Has anyone seen pictures of the other 2022 offerings?

I was going to order a Rythm, but still waiting on my Lotus has me hesitant to order again before the first even arrives.

There's a single day you can order, you can do whatever you want for ano as long as you're willing to pay.

The Reflex was apparently fast, fwiw, but yeah, still waiting on my Lotus personally.

Food for thought.

Yeah my old boss still hasn't gotten his Clutch. It's been finished, they posted pics of it on their facebook, but last I heard it still hasn't shipped. Which is weird considering the Reflexes have gone out so fast.

I have never owned a Freeflow, I would love to, but I can't justify spending that kind of money on something I have never even held. I love the looks of many of their guns, but this one seems way too plain for me. I think I am in the minority when it comes to the Reflex as well, I don't know what it is, but it just doesn't appeal to me. I love most their other markers though. I hate to say it, but this Dark may be my least favorite.

The anno on the other hand is awesome. My only gripe is that it can only be appreciated up close. Maybe that is the cool thing about it though!

I'm a big fan of the new styling. The dark 'cockers have always looked really great and this one with the simple lines is a winner.

What isn't a winner is Freeflow's "limited run" BS to pump up prices and taking deposits for guns that won't be delivered for a year. Seems like classic "money now" scheme that has been the trademark of so many scam artists in paintball previously.

They don’t shoot good enough to drop their asking price on them. I’ll pass.

It’s definitely a gimmick, but they’re price pretty much the same as other new cockers out today. The wait time is seemingly on par with PPS type stuff, so I can’t fault them for running a company out of the garage, however, I don’t believe they should be taking orders on new ones until the previous model have all been shipped out. Personally, I like gimmick of limited run. I like that some are limited number, while others are buy within a certain time frame. I guess I just like that not every single person will be able to have one, keeps things at least relatively unique.
side note: don’t love the remakes of everything. Makes it less special.

[gabe]

All fair points. I fall victim to the "limited edition" thing too with JT stuff so I can't hate too hard for that. The prices are pretty fair if you only look at the base price but by the time you get a splash and a barrel kit it's closing in on $2k for some of these guns. Seems like they've shifted towards making money on the guns themselves and the parts sales side is a distant second. Whatever, if it works and keeps an autococker company alive I shouldn't hate too much.

[chocolatemussolini]

gabe - I have a friend who bought a clutch and was incredibly upset when it was 95% dye parts. I haven’t heard great things, but I’ve never shot one myself.

[latches109]

chocolatemussolini i like dye’s pneus so far. They have been performing great on my slab body.

Does anyone know if you can order these raw?

So what is the price on this? I went to their site, but all it says is "$500 deposit". Doesnt tell you what the total is.

I get that custom anno's and such raise the price, but I'm curious as to what a "base" one is.

[latches109]

I emailed them about this with no response. edit: found pricing see above

[BlindFaith429]

Meh, for that price, I'd add a little more and pick up an SFL personally.

[SignOfZeta]

I’m sure it’s a nice gun but it’s way too plain.
