    It's the end of the world as we know it...

    ... and I feel fine 🤣

    Apocalypse's State of the Union Address:

    I'm back from my hiatus and can 3d print parts again. Depending on interest level I might outsource the parts for SLS printing to get them much stronger, but the cost will be higher of course.

    I don't think another Pheed tube run is in the cards unfortunately, especially with CCIs springfeed and XEMONs stuff out there to fill the niche.

    I want to get my hands on the CCI Springfail to see if I can make it worthy of the Pheed moniker they appropriated, but we shall see.

    I will contact ICD and look into another side saddle run. If I do any metal work this will probably be it.

    Happy to be out of the shadows. It always made me smile to see my stuff pop up on FB feeds while at the same time I felt guilty I had dropped support of my products. Hoping to rectify that.

    One last thing, due to 2022s new tax reporting laws on Paypal thanks to Biden I will probably switch to accepting Zelle, USPS MO, personal check, or cashier check payments. Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause!

      Glad to have you back on here, always love what you did!

      If you want to make CCI feed, ill stop making the carbon fiber ones, I don't want to take business away from you.

          Welcome back!

          If you can figure out how to improve the cci spring feed that would be amazing. Specifically some way of dual feeding it.

              Thanks for the love! AnarchicArtic might be sending me a CCI SpringPheed so I'll keep you all posted. I can pretty much print everything I've done, just a matter of finding the files.

              It's best to email me at apocalypsepbd@gmail.com if you need printed parts as the website is no more.

                Welcome back, your departure caused me to buy a printer and spend countless hours attempting to clone your work for my own personal use. Started with trying to make replacement parts that broke, turned into a whole thing. Take it as a compliment, I’d have purchased if available! And thanks to you the most exciting upgrade CCI has released since the insert barrel left the masses going… Where is Apoc?

                  I'm so glad to have inspired you to start designing on your own!

                  My own story started when I was disappointed with the collaboration between me and a designer/printer who shall not be named. The parts he made me when mass produced were totally wrong and he did nothing to rectify it after taking my money. So I decided to teach myself how to design and print completely unassisted. I fell down the rabbit hole until I struck gold, multiple times!

                    Glad apoc4lypse is back.

                    Here's a few images of what your 3d printing project has inspired. The round butt 3d printed Fame adapter to fit the Pachmayr Grips.

                    - ICD Lever side saddle setup
                    - 8inch C-Bore
                    - ASP Detent Mod
                    - Apoc4lypse J-Frame adapter
                    - Pachmayr grips modded to make fit with J-Frame Adapter

                        It's a slight hefty one. ~1,057grams.

                        Pretty well balanced, CoG is slightly behind the trigger. Config'd for a lefty.

                          Make the free dummy rings and market them
                          hard. They are better than shitty inserts and cost no money. They’re especially better for pumps where a tight insert effects your pump stroke and a loose insert gives inconsistent velocity due to partial (1 or so inches till the ball presents a seam) rollouts.

                          so every cocker threads gun should be using them even in conjunction with an insert system for improved consistency.

                          so sell those
