Do you own a G3 or G4 and want an awesome Bolt Kit? If so, read on..

-.- There is one.. guy wants $300. The black anno'd one. I'd grab it, but the flaws make me cringe since I'm such a damnned perfectionist.

i got mine for 125 shipped. it needs an asa, and a new velocity screw. the anno is a little messed up but i plan on reannoing it once i get my income tax check comes.

If what I have in mind works in the Threshold, then yes.

Deathwish_DW · 02-03-2013, 04:07 PM

The "fixes" are done. Should be expecting them at my location by the end of the week..

So after the g3 bolts are done you'll do the g4 bolts or are you doing them somewhat in parallel

The plan is to get the G3 bolts out for testing. While that is going on, we will have the G4 bolts sent out for protos. At the end of testing, we should have the protos for the G4s in.

Due to the threshold and revi ideas, we may decide to figure out what to do about those at that time. It's kind of up in the air and we are still trying to figure out the details of how much it will cost, etc. For the threshold and revi systems, we may have to go overseas due to the smaller market. It's not something we would like to do simply based on our platform for the rest of the bolts, but if we are going to be able to service the "legacy" DP Community with a fair price for a quality product, it will have to be made overseas UNLESS we can use our existing orders as leverage for less expensive machining here at the US shop.

But.. for right now, we're getting these G3 kits out ASAP.
I actually did not know where some of Jonathan's intentions for this were in the long term simply because he has a regular job. Now that we spoke and I know what he's thinking, I am happy to say that this is truly the beginning of much greater things.

Looking forward to it!

the nice part about the revi is "more room to play" as you stated early on in this thread

Techt simply took a g3 bolt, made it fit and then added a spacer.. i was disappointed. It would not be hard for someone like you guys to put a Clone GT like system into a revi.

Deathwish_DW · 02-03-2013, 11:53 PM

Shipping to me tuesday hopefully.. so my estimate by end of week is fair..

I would totally buy another rev-i if something amazing like a new efficient bolt system came along

YEah!!!!

Deathwish_DW · 02-05-2013, 09:45 AM

We can use a spacer design in a revi without issue.. easier, but keep in mind our design already is more efficient to begin with due to the way our airflow is routed and how everything seals up.

Today is tuesday...

=D

firefoxx04 · 02-05-2013, 11:04 AM

so testers should have it by the end of the work week? Good deal

Deathwish_DW · 02-05-2013, 03:45 PM

duhfaq. I ordered some orings from mcmastercarr for the kits last night. They arrived TODAY via ups ground.

Providing the deposits and shipping information are in, they will be shipped out asap via priority mail. 2-3 days from Peoria, IL (central IL).
He's in NY, so I should receive them Thursday, Friday at the latest. Testers should receive them no later than Tuesday/Wednesday.

(it seems inefficient to ship to me instead of shipping to testers, but all in all, it's easier due to time constraints. and we also ship stuff back and forth, so it saves some $ there)

Yeah, McMaster is that damn good. I always loved how quick they are.

I cannot exactly do that in my dorm.

I will see if Jonathan can make one up since he's holding onto the G3.

stuff21397 · 02-05-2013, 04:53 PM

That be nice id like to compare it to the original prototype bolt shooting videos.
