I just got off the phone with one of the guys at NW Paintball Products who said that they are closing their doors. That's a real shame as their various Black Magic seals are a great product. I'm glad I found out that they had pre '04 Timmy cup seals in time to order one.

they just came and visited our store.

Cool people, but in 2 years no one has asked for their stuff so we dont stock it.

Are they going to sell their stock of quick disconnects? Those things are nice. Glad I have a spare or two...

Sorry to hear they didn’t make it. I liked the disconnect.

See, that's the problem. No one will "ask" for their stuff because no one knew they existed or even what they made. As a store it's your job to "sell" people on the idea of their products. This goes for anything you have forsale in your store. NW made some great stuff and some cool stuff. But they are small and very few people ever heard of them.

NW did make good stuff. I love the drop forward of theirs that I have on my Spyder.

The quick release block was a fantastic idea. I had one until I swapped to an Angel AIR compact drop. Oh and their Angel trigger was first made for Cobra who then stopped selling it which meant NW could sell them for way less than Cobra and continued to do so even when Cobra reintroduced it at the much higher price.

The ASA Seals they made were nothing short of amazing.

I got one of their dropforwards about 3 and half years ago, I wish them the best of luck on whatever they pursue now.

Kinda, we presented people with the lit they had and gave it to people as options. We kept lifesavers, and a cup seals but people didnt seem to go for their stuff.

I better hurry, I've been thinking of picking up a few more QD blocks. I always proclaimed their cup seals and life savers as some of the most underrated items in paintball.

I agree that their seals are one of the most under rated things in PB. Have you guys seen where they put glue and sand all over a valve stem and the Black Magic cup seal still holds!

The guy on the phone (who I think was the owner) told me that stores had bought up most of their stock so if you want something I'd call now.
