When whomever the donkey they have repping them on the board here came out and said in the 300PRC thread, that whenever they have issues, it’s usually the customer’s fault, I leaned everything I needed to know about them as a company.

 

[Tokay444]

I was pretty disappointed with their 300 PRC brass. Very low case capacity, absurdly tight primer pockets (I am literally unable to prime them with a Primal Rights CPS).

Inb4 they blame you.

God fuck, I hate the French.

But the women in Montreal are my favorite.

 

[Tokay444]

Are they actually women though?
The nice thing about Montreal is, most of the people aren’t from there.

Hi,

LOLOL But I do not speak French...that is why I requested a Canuk find him. hahaha

At least they both would have mutual interest of hockey and maple leaf syrup so that Gatan would hand over all his notes on the 4140 steel cartridge cases he designed years ago but never really went anywhere due to pressure concerns, lolol

Canadians and Quebec type folks should not be automatically assumed to be "friends".
French lineage Canadians may still be kind of upset at the British and so on...

Are you sure he doesn't speak English?

Might help me narrow down if any of the leads might be him.

Worst case, I could always fire up the real time phone call translator so y'all could talk gibberish to one another without realizing the other person isn't actually a real person...

 

[Tokay444]

Fuck ‘em.

 

[QuickNDirty]

Why are we even having this conversation? Canadians would neck themselves before being impolite to a random yank that dialed a wrong number.

Hi,

Start a firearms manufacturing company; it will be fun they said, lolol............

90% of the day resembles this....

But at the end of the day..success is earned and not given. Manufacturing a quality product in the USA matters!!

Hi,

So the T&E rifles have had this adjustment screw/tension piece made from 7075 but the production models it is 303 stainless.

Sits really nice and has great adjustment tension here.

That one looks nice but at the "discount" price of $4k you need to have some money making reason to own one I think.

Hi,

That type of design was used by a couple different manufacturers back in 2010 era of the PSR testing.
System slides/rides on those "recoil rails" and then you just push the platform back into battery (Fully forward) for the next shot.

Machine, check fit, machine, check fit...

This is just 1 of the quality processes we have in place to make sure final assembly and QA signs off on the entire system before anything gets shipped out to customers.

Looks good. I’m curious if that’s full speed?

 

[THEIS]

Hi,

No it is not full speed, lol

This DMU speedMaster is capable of 20k rpm with 46.9HP.

Cutting that 7075 aluminum magwell insert was not even half speed but no point in pushing that tool since everything is on a legit production schedule as it is.

Hi,

Guys are just chipping away to have first production batch of 10 Aspis receivers and chassis done by May 17th.

Going to be nice once coated, assembled and listed for sale.

Please send me a PM if interested in ordering so that we get correct barrel spec'd for your build.

As previously mentioned the first few batches lead times will be dependent of customers barrel specifications. After the first few production batches we will have a better understanding of what barrels to have sitting on shelves waiting for our actions and chassis to marry them for ready right now, out the door business model.

Sincerely,
Theis

Sell the excess rifles & pistols you have in your safe & get one amazing super rifle.
I've done that before and came out with a lot more than I thought I had.

There's no such thing as excess rifles and pistols you can never have too many.

Your crypto is invested in tannerite? Or C4?

Im hoping more like an Hbomb.

 

[_Windrider_]

What one? I'm thinking about Monero. From the time I first thought of it until it went from $250. to 356.

I'm exceedingly wary of any Crypto from getting royally hosed by the lying, scamming FUCKS with Substratum or Sub. 10K. Gone. Poof.... like a fart in a windstorm. Imagine the rifle that would have gotten me. Making it worse that is was money from a small inheritance of a dear friend.

Do you honestly think that the rothschilds are going to allow crypto to be successful ?

I was never a seller... once I bought my first true quality rifle the rest just sat and got dusty.
I have since paired down my safe and I am much happier with higher quality rifles

long story short... sell the rifle you keep “for your friends”..it starts there.
