ok so about 3 weeks ago i had my original goldmember bolt swapped because of the early goldmembers being bent etc. issue.
now recently ive been hearing all of the OG goldmembers with the laser engraving were with the bad run, and i noticed the new one they put in my quest is laser engraved. did fep stop LE'ing the newer goldmembers? i jsut wanna know if im gonna be sending this back in within the weeks because its gonna snap/wear etc.
PS. im not sure whats the deal with this on my anno, but it REALLY bugs me:

I've got one of the first goldmember bolts, and so far it's had no problems. I also saw some of the new ones at PSP they had, and they all looked engraved to.

If you had a old gold member and one of the new one's at the same time they are both lazer engraved but they are different. I don't know if it's the metal or just a different color.

Does this upgrade really give better air efficiency? I want one but want to make sure it helps.

Yep it helps! That's for sure. You'll get more shots out of your tank, I noticed it right off the bat.

The "anodize problem" that you see is tool chatter from when the grip frame was machined. No way to get rid of it unless you strip off the anodize buff out the marks and re-anodize it.

that something i can talk with fep about?
i dont think i should have to fix a flaw on my gun for cash if im not at fault.

You can call them about anything. It's great to call them.
IMHO, though, ... I don't see what the big deal is.

Thats Biased Now tho, you KNOW where to Look and Know Exactly where it is.. Post a Normal Pic in the Pic thread and See how many people will notice it..
you can Put a Sticker over it if you feel that Out of place by it.. you can Also Buy a New ANNO for it.. design sumthin and ask if they Polish that Blemish Out during anno..

Why didn't you see it at the store? If it was an online store, you're nuts. I can't believe people buy a gun they don't handle. It seems crazy to buy something for $800+ and NOT know whether it has distinct marks on it.
IMO- Deal with it. I've seen millions of guns (namely intimidators) go through NPS IL with all sorts of blemmishes, FEP is pretty consistent and their guns are made very well.
My advice, don't pay for a product you have not put in your hands.

what if the only place he could buy it from was an online store? don't be a dickhead, the only place i could of gotten my quest was an online store so thats what i did, no stores near me carry the quest or any quest products so i had no choice, what if it was the same case with him? don't be a retard.

I would call FEP with your warranty # and ask if they could toss a new grip frame on it.

i bought it first hand at a store, did notice it. first off, theres nothing a local shop could do about it so it wouldnt make any sense to talk to any one other than fep.
on a side note, give me anno ideas.
ps, how detailed and can anno jobs be from fep? because im looking for more than just the normal solids and splashes.
the guy who did the "you talkin to MEEGO?" is a local here and i was thinkin of getting about as complicated as his anno job.

So my Goldmember bolt broke today an dit was not a first generation. Is this going to be a problem with all of them or did I just get one of the old ones and was told that it was a new one? Is there a way to check?
joshr
09-03-2006, 09:43 PM
i think the only way to check is if it breaks or not. if it breaks its not new one cause they got them fixed now i do believe

Chicago, Good luck mine was on its 8th case and snap I thought the same thing as you. after 10000 shots I thought that I was in the clear. ohh well
Gailon
09-03-2006, 11:18 PM
Yeah mine was one of the originals and went through probably 8 or so cases. Though I feel like i can notice a serious difference in thickness, or maybe material in this new bolt compared to the one that snapped.

wow that sucks mine has only had like 3 or 4 cases through it that means it might still snap....

Mine snapped yesterday, had about 8 cases through it. What really sucked is I took the stock bolt out that morning thinking I wouldn't need it.

i hate you. it sounds alot cooler than goldmember, goldmember was a fatty anyways i think you should have called it the jaws bolt or the oddjob bolt, those were actually cool badguys lol :dodgy:
edit: since the goldmembers break so often i though you guys just desided to trash the whole thing and come out with this new "platnium series bolt" guess me thinks too good for mys own goods..

no no no it has to be goldmember because its gold. it doesn't have teeth or throw hats at people so it couldn't be a jaws or oddjob bolt, it has to be a goldmember bolt. thats why. besides austin powers kicks ass.
