    All I know is Monday is almost over. And I would hope those "people" that were supposed to get tracking numbers today would have posted. So either they are holding out or it just hasn't happened.

    It's looking like it didn't happen.

    Apperently you must either not be in touch with reality or must have come in contact with some hallucinogenic substances.

    anyone know if Garf outsourced anno or machining, and if so any chance he slipped up and told someone who he outsourced to? Just an idea to see if the frames really exist.

    Hopefully it is merely USPS not updating their tracking, as per usual. I have literally had things on my doorstep, and USPS didn't even show them as being shipped yet.

    postal doesnt do actual tracking per say( like UPS which will tell you stop by stop where your package is at) , they give you a conformation that the package was delivered and usually doesnt update till 12 am when there system updates. This is a miss perseption on " conformation" instead of "tracking"...

    That's exactly what I was thinking, LK-13.

    Good luck with your frames, guys.

    Actually USPS delivery confirmation now includes UPS-like tracking. Check it out.

    Sorry for being so late and posting on old posts... Been kinda busy building Pneumags for people who are tired of waiting for there G-frame....

The lower actuation point also allows the ram to be driven by less pressure but maintain the capability of high rof.
    Just cause the msv is mounted high doenst mean that the pull will be softer than a proprerly built home brew. If you look at the 2 different MSV's, my home brews come with a lever already attached which i use to its full advantage... I also put my trig rod to the highest part on the back of the trig as well. That make two point of leverage on my frame one bieng the level on the MSV-2 and how i set the trig rod. I'll admit the exteder is a new and neat idea but you cant say by a pic that it better than anything anybody did them self...

    I wish i could resize this but i cant seem to get it right, sorry i'm only good with pneumags...lol Its for reference on the trig rod and MSV-2 lever, and this a a build i did almost 2 years ago....

    Now I'm not saying the DIY jobs suck. I've seen the vids, they're awesome. And much cheaper too. But this is a production product that has been meticulously engineered (to the point of making us wait way too long for our frames lol). It's obviously going to perform better. Your guys' frames are still unique and cool though.
    I'll give you that it MAY BE MORE EFFICIENT but theres no way to tell when nobody really knows the actuall LPR pressured used in a DIY frame with ULT...

    Now to say because it's "meticulously engineered " doesnt mean it will be better. Thats just silly. I took alot of time learning how to do this and added what i thought would be better in the long run. That would be me engineereing how the frame and parts would work best. That would make just as superior as any other engineered frame. Dont get me wrong here i'm not singleing you out on a personal basis, it just seems to me that you have made up your mind on a product that nobody has yet...!!!

    Hopefully we can get a few reviews and comparisons of DIY vs. G-Force. Either way, $200 for a production pneu-frame is a good deal (assuming that we get more than a manual )
    Not my mod...LOL From the looks of it you could prolly set up magnets on the back of the trig and the inside back of the trig guard. The magmod was to combat the super soft spring in the MSV. heck there was a couple of times running to a bunker that my gun fired. It was the weight of the trig bounceing while i was running the was setting it off...lol So i came up with a way to get magnets in there to help fight that. I'm sure someone will figure it out and let everbody know.....

    I hope Garf did some thorough testing. Lets hope he used this extra 7 months wisely.

    I feel like it would have probably been cheaper and easier and possibly more reliable to have just made a new sear with a longer arm.
    the extender also looks to be Aluminum, and prolly will just as bad as the epoxy as far as reliability....

    I will have to wait to feel that for my self.......

    watching people still try to defend garf: pitiful.


    /I lol'd when I saw the epoxy part...thought you guys bought a finished frame not a model airplane
    //hope I'm wrong in the end
    Very nice geekwarrior, i agree with you on most of that....

    LOL

    OK OK Again i'm sorry for bringing all the old stuff back up i was just late to the party. While i do have a good excuse at least my customers get real info and there guns back sooner than +9 months.... (sorry had too....) And i still worry about the off the self parts? The ram assemble looks pretty custom to me. What happens if it breaks or isnt workin properly? At least with the parts i sell you can get them just about anywhere....

    These packages use Canada Post tracking, which don't have live tracking, and have zero tracking once they hit customs. After customs, all you get is delivery confirmation.
