[$L!mBo]

Aaaaaand ill make it 3 "perfect timing" s inna row....

those NovaDuckslides are supposedly dropping before xmas!!

[$L!mBo]

Impactfour the previous replies started with

"this is perfect timing because....."
so, my post would be the third inna row

guess i coulda spelled it out lol

[Impactfour]

Ahhhhh, I thought there was some exciting new phantom piece coming out alongside the nova duckslide and the phrame 3.0.

[$L!mBo]

there IS that "Wendy's Fromunda Grip" that Joe keeps saying will be ready soon..... please tell me you know about that? Its the only cool stock class project going on in Kenya

[flyweightnate]

It lives!

Please pardon the janky screw - wasn't quite critical path - but it bolts on and works. And i have to say, the balance is amazing.

I will be sharpening my pencil this weekend and accepting preorders for a first batch of 29 (gotta keep #0000) shortly. Pricing may not exactly match the $300 target for raw, but I'm working to keep it close.

Please tell me I didn’t miss out already 😭

[latches109]

is there an option for an ICD style lever latch?

[$L!mBo]

@latches109
that sounds like something that would require an entire redesign, not to poop on your hopes.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Cool I will take one!

[sonixr7]

I will take 1, maybe 2 if there are not enough to fill the initial 30.

[Pogi Si David]

Where do I send the money?

[Impactfour]

Oh hell yes, take my money!

[Phantom1313]

Very slick…..preorders through the site or here?

[flyweightnate]

Very slick…..preorders through the site or here?

I'm going to make sure my pricing is right, then do preorders through my website.

I'll post an early warning in the Members Only, then post in this thread plus make the website live.

I'm going to be realistic and say they'll be plated and ship end of January, so long as there are no more equipment failures at the machine shop. Raw might ship early January.

Once a preorder is in, I'll also start accepting breeches to modify, and publish the print for those who want to do the body themselves.

[Impactfour]

Do you have plans to do any additional runs after this first one? I'm planning on spending the weekend updating MCB threads and my emails to get in on this order, but wanna plan for the worst case scenario

[Lt. head-shot]

Is the first run the 12gram grip only?

[Chuck E Ducky]

Very cool! Do you plan on going with a Knob style for the 12g release? Or sticking with the bolt style you have? Might I suggest something like what Carter uses with your system I think would look super clean.

It could be anodized to Mach and Maybe some nice Knurling for grip.

[flyweightnate]

Is the first run the 12gram grip only?

Lt. head-shot Yes, by popular opinion.

I'm in the process of designing drop-in bottomline and regulated bottomline adapters. Neither seems hard, but I need to check one or two fits. Also sketching up a stock that clamps to the valve body.

Impactfour I certainly want to do another run after this one. I'll serialize them all for posterity.

Chuck E Ducky Gameplan is a steel screw with a printed/ molded knob but I'll see if I can get aluminum in time; it does sound prettier. I have something else in the pipeline there, but I'm not 100% happy with it yet. Threads are 1/2-20" if anyone wants to start working on their own ideas, like a custom knob, or bushing that will take a Nelspot screw or Shortchange.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Cool excited to see what you come up with. It looks great! Definitely put me on the list for one and let me know when you’re taking payment.

[Lt. head-shot]

Perfect, thank you for the info! not much of a 12gram player, so I will wait for the next run!

[Impactfour]

Suhweeet, I've got family plans this weekend so I may miss the drop

[sonixr7]

Pre-ordered on the website.

[flyweightnate]

Pre-ordered on the website.

Yes, it's up!

The Members have had their shot at the preorder, but now the cat's out of the bag.

And details on the required breech modification are here:

Realistically, February ship dates for anodized, maybe mid- January for raw. Raw will ship disassembled for ano and I'm going to publish drawings for pin and insert locations.
