Metadyne Thumper/Phoenix Redux

jetenginekyle That’s so cynical it has to be true. I even have a post in this thread saying I hoped they were going to send test markers in different climates and someone said they were going to. A shame, because I was hoping to buy one.

superman I bet they didn't want us to see that not much had changed. Instead of fixing the issues they simply told us they had worked out the bugs hopping we would buy them before finding out the truth. Seems like a pretty dumb way to release a marker to me.

This is the exact reason they should have sent guns out to testing specifically in the mcb community, before going into full production.

I think of myself as the mechanic while others drive

You are some kind of wizard, if only we could get you out on the field

Awesome. They should pay you for that design.
I’m so happy that I didn’t end up buying one of these, but i also honestly still want one if they (or, at this rate, you) get them shooting nicely.

Got mine working! Only needed a completely redesigned front end.

Super bummer on this.

Tried safety both ways, no difference. Something internally feels like metal goulging or something. I'll try take it apart tomorrow.

[RuleOfSines]

Make sure the safety is fully off, not even slightly on.

Bummed to see these going poorly.
Happy to see them trying to make everything right.

No paddles installed, something inside feels mega broken

Is the paddle on the right side binding on the adjustment screw? If it’s loose it can rotate and do that.

Just picked up my phoenix to dry fire a couple shots, cocked it twice and now it's jammed internally. I can only pump it about 20% before it feels bound up inside and feels like forcing it will break something. Rip

I would suspect a trim retainer, if they want the "old" one back, they are probably gonna trim them and send them back out under "warranty replacement" ... That's the most cost effective and fastest way of doing it
