Wow... Better wait and buy at half price after its delivered. I am almost asking if it comes with a t-shirt as well...
EDIT: I just saw the results. What's wrong with Tracy!?!? Didn't she have enough with us? And now they do it again?? What a shame...

Pick it up!
Wait, what's going on? More crap work from PTP?
Such a freaking shame. Their work used to be that of legends.

What bonus sticker? I didn't get any! LOL
By the way, let me clarify something. I have several Micromags. Gen 1 (short fixed barrel), Gen 3, 2000 and a 2K9. I honestly never had a problem with any of them (even though I didn't really use the 2K9 but the valve fit all right). I also have several other accessories from them, be it barrels, trigger frames, expansion chambers etc. What bothers me so much is how they screwed up their own name. I don't think anyone should be blamed other than themselves, especially Tracy, who had such a childish reaction when people started complaining about the products they didn't receive for a couple years and, afterwards, how she never returned anyone's money for the problem they caused. Because of that, I will never buy anything new from them again. Not only it's not worth the price they charge, they also don't deserve my business any more. And that's my opinion, only.

Seems like both a misdesign AND a manufacturing issue.
It's awesome that they used rails to attach the feed tube thingy. Picatinny would have been nicer, but whatevs.
They should have attached the feed neck via the exact same mechanism (and that's where the extra beefy Picatinny would be useful). The part could be threaded again, although really the whole idea of (threaded-)feednecks-as-structural-component just needs to go away. Maybe someone will figure it out in the next 30 years. Or not.
See also: SA-17, Empire Trracer, TM-7, TM-15, etc.
Bad design right in that area, and worse execution.
Missteps will happen; it's the response that counts. So now we get to see how PTP responds. Again. As if we needed another example.
"Accuracy by aiming."
Definitely not on the A-Team.

You guys are seriously making me worry about whether or not my completely untouched, unassembled MM 2k9 is going to work or not.... I should put some parts on it just to check it out...
U R techno-literate!
Lol. Check it before you get too far into the project. Idk how many actually had problems, I got lost in that mammoth thread. The first thing is making sure the valve and bolt will fit in the body. Another was to make sure the bolt spring has enough space to move. IIRC, they opted for the 7000 series aluminum to preclude the need for a body washer (for the bolt spring to push against). Keeping that wall thickness seems to have tripped them up at least a few times.

And here I was thinking I was lucky to get in on the original sale of them. I was able to take someones place who had to give up their slot. The MM 2k9 has been in storage ever since due to my work related travelling... suppose I could stick my pneu frame and valve on there for testing...

no washer is still used, they just dont press fit them anymore.
it would be stupid to let steel spring continously repeat an action on aluminum.
