[Rudz]

Which email adress do you guys use to get in touch with Cougar-River?

[Dewok82]

For those of you who have received your 90 degree grips, when did you place your order?
I'm just trying to get a ballpark timeframe of when I can expect my order (placed 4/24 for a set in black/gray).
Thanks

Edit: Just saw Lather ordered his March 7th...looks like I have a little more waiting to do.

[flyingpootang]

I got my grips last week and the fit: 10 finish: 7. Please read my email and thier reply below:

I recieved the grips last week and there was a note saying that
they where just to see how it fits and the final grips will be on the
way soon. The grips did fit real well, so i'm looking forward to
recieving the final set. I understand about the delay and I think most
people don't understand that aftermarket vendors for AGD products are
very far and few between.Rudzs has been in your corner from the
beginning and has taken a few blows from some of the guys on AO. From
his posts you can see he's a good guy and he did his best to ease the
anxiety on getting the grips produced and shipped out. Keep up the
great work....

CRAS responce:
I'm glad to hear that the grips fit. We will get the final ones to you a.s.a.p.
We are very grateful for Rudzs. He is a great guy and has helped us so much. I hope he realizes that too. I wish that things would have gone faster but when you do pre-sales it makes a big difference. Looking back we sometimes wish we would have just waited until all the wrinkles were out but hind-sight is always 20/20. I am just as happy with all of you guys who have stood behind us and were patient. We are getting caught up now and look to have all the orders completed soon. We will then start stocking up so that when we have an order it can go out immediately. We are looking forward to that for sure.

Thanks so much,
Melanie

hey do you think you could get some yellow kevlar. that would be so sweet on my borg

[deputydan]

The green grips are actually made with yellow fabric. Atleast the last time I talked to Roger they were, he told me that they got darker when the resin was applied.

Did your grips go right on nicely? I got some red verts for my logic. One of the panels goes on very nicely. the other only lets 2 screws go in and the third is off by about half the wdth of the screw. I guess it's dremel time.

Look....10.0
Finish...9.2
Fit........6.5

I'm still super happy I bought them. The look so much hotter than the IR3 and Dmag grips and are cheaper. about the only other grips I've liked more than these are the all aluminum ones...but they're a bit heavy and $50+ dollars. You simply can't beat these cougar river grips. :headbang:

Hey cougar river...I know where you can get a volume of Carbon fiber and kevlar weave...PM me. I also have some nonwoven carbon veil (8g per sqyd) if you want to try that.

Yep they fit fine, flush with the grip frame and the grips lined up perfectly with the frame.

[mpsd]

After 4 long months I finally got my e-Mag grips!!!
What I can tell:

- I had to open the screw holes a little bit. It took me about 20 minutes to do it.
- One of the panels was slightly off-set with the frame screws, but, opening the hole for that screw easely solved the problem.
- The frame window for the LCD is a little bit (about 1 mm) smaller than it should but it´s still good enough.
- The grips are not perfecly finished on the edges, but nothing that one should really care.

Still, they are BEAUTIFULL!!! :clap: :clap:

They are a perfect match with my Deadlywind Wisper barrel and I´ll be the only paintballer in Brazil to sport carbon fiber grips!!!

Considering the fact that they are hand-made and the price that Cougar River is charging them, I can honestly say that they are definetely worth the wait. I recommend it to anyone.

Congratulations for the great job you done, Melanie.
Rudz, if you can, please, send this message to them.

CF RULES!!!

I'm sure melanie takes a look at the thread from time to time, I'm glad everyones happy, its great seeing all the positive outcomes, thanks everyone.

Ok heres some closeup pics of the Emag CF grips I recieved.
Maybe I am being too critical.
Look at the pics and tell me if its just me and post your thoughts.

Well here I am posting again on these Emag grips.
It took over 2+ months to recieve the first hideous looking set.
And I was emailed and told they were working with some better carbon fiber
and that they would make me another set, at the 2+ month mark.
I did offer to send back the ones in the pics above but got no response.

Now here we are 2+ months past that point and I still have no replacement grips.
I am a bit disappointed to say the least.

:confused:

[StygShore]

Eh, I got bumped out of line due to a bad email on their website, so I started all over again in mid July.


They need to have the Disclamer like WWA - Fast, Quality, or cheap.... but ont choose Fast or quality :)


I'll wait, I'm in no big hurry, but I would like to see them before the end of Sept if possibel becasue I shoudl have my gun back then.

Closing in on 5 months now.
Dont hold your breath on getting the grips.
You can see from the links above the first set was just absurd and I was promised another set. But I guess thats not going to happen.

:argh:

[Rudz]

that was ONE set, and the rest have been great, if u want 20 buxx ill friggin pay you to stop posting...

[StygShore]

not a matter of the 20.00... I think it's more a matter of business principles.

Maybe they shouldn't have taken on the project ( or accepted preorders ) if it was a project that were not equipped/outfitted to handle?

There are a lot of - "they aren't great but they will do..." posts, and I'm sure others who got them, and were less than impressed, but have not posted. It's kind of a moot point at this stage, we all know they have had production problems, quality and fit problems, and all manner of other issues.

Most of us are just waiting, crossing our fingers, hoping that ours will 1. arrive this year, 2. look good, 3. fit good



Styg

[Pneumagger]

I'm really happy with the verts I got. And I will be purchasing a set of blue emag grips as soon as I can see orders start to move again. I feel they were well worth the price and wait, considering new angel spacegrips are about $35 and these are way better IMO for $19.

[flyingpootang]

I got mine after waitting a very long time. The fit was a 10 and finish a 7. I think it was well worth the wait/time and the fact they want to send me a second set for free says their stand up people. I wanted to order a blue set, but I didn't want to slow down the production for others still waitting. I appreciate and support the efforts of any store, company, or indavidual who makes or mods anything for mags. I'm sure most of them are doing it mostly for the luv of mags and not just for the dollars.

Special "pip pip" to rudz for getting the cf grip thing together and being a spokes person...

[going_home]

that was ONE set, and the rest have been great, if u want 20 buxx ill friggin pay you to stop posting...

So stop with speaking the truth ?
I think people should know what they are getting into with Cougar River.
When or if they send me what I saw in the pics on their site I will also post
pics and sing their praises.

I have not been contacted in almost 3 months and as far as I know they have forgotten
that they told me they would send me a nice set.
So until I have what was advertised I will continue to let others know my experience
with Cougar River.

:argh:

[StygShore]

yeah... as far as I know they took my pre-order and bought a couple a extra large ZAs, no communication, no form letter saying they are working on it, nothing, nada, zip, zilch....

I figure 3 things....I ordered in June....

1. I'm out 20.00
2. If they show up woohoo
3. If they show up and look nice Woohoo x2!!!

[Rudz]

just talked to roger, and they were having mold issues, after some revamping they think they have it set, the grips were bubbling up after the molding process, so thats why people were told grips were done, but as they cured the grips went bad, the last of teh orders should be turned out soon, and couagr river will begin to stock inventory..so please be patient with us, and im sorry for everyone who has had to wait..thanks

Got a reply from Melanie yesterday.
They were having problems with bubbles.
Well I dont have the grips yet but a reply to an email is some progress.

[Mrturd]

Anyone got any updates from Cras? because I dont get any replies on the email that I send to them.

[Dewok82]

Nada, still waiting on my 90* grips in gray/black ordered and paid for April 24th (5+ months ago).

[StygShore]

Spoke to Roger last week, about my emag panels, and he said the production issues and some quality issues should be taken care of, and they are getting caught up on things. He has a different supplier and adifferent weave of CF that they are using, so depending on when you orderred you may get the old style, or the new style that he things looks better. - hoping for the newer style myself, since my order was delayed for payment by over a month becasue of a bad Paypal email address on their site.


I'm pretty sure this is the same thing they have said the last 3-4 updates... but the phone number still works and they still answer it and talk to you, so they are not gone yet.



Styg


on another note, some nice WOOD grips in the paintball talk section have been posted as an alternative.

[Empyreal Rogue]

Bumped.

Slightly curious to know what's going on, because I'd like to order a set of graphites.

[StygShore]

4 months and counting....


Styg

[Chaos_Theory!]

Im seriously considering canceling my order. This is beyond ****ing rediculous. IT shouldnt take this damn long to get a new weave or w/e down right. Not only that but we dont get any updates.

[RRfireblade]

What style are you'all waiting for ?

I maybe shouldn't post this here BUT I have a sheet of CF left over from another project and...

I 'could' make panels out of it. It's 1/8" , flat glossy stock with real good deep fiber detail in standard grey/Blk Fiber.

Like here...

http://premium1.uploadit.org/rrfireblade/ColMustard/NewMustard-006.jpg

That's it. No options. :D

If anyone wants , find my email and ask about it.

Since rudz started this thread and not Couger, if you feel this is an inapropriate place to post, let me know and I'll pull it. I not really 'offering' this so I don't really want a thread devoted to it but since so many are having problems I'd thought I might help if possible..

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to inform you all that we have had a set back once again. Our son Cody had to have surgery two weeks ago and after the surgery was having some problems; after only one week he had to have another emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix. We stayed with him in the hospital and just got back on Sunday. The first day back was on Monday after being out for two weeks. This set us behind that two week period. We applogize but we felt that our son needed us.

I hope you all will understand,
Melanie Fattig
CRAS

[RRfireblade]

Guess this is the easiest place...

Quick note to everyone who sent and I've recieved payment , I'll be cutting panels sometime this week.

Thanks. :)

[Chaos_Theory!]

So has anyone heard anything? I really dont have any need for the vert grips i ordered anymore (dont really feel like using them on my Excal, they were ment for a diff gun). Contacting them has been met with no success and im starting to think they are just scaming people. Only reason i say this is they used to reply pretty well to an email i sent them (before they started with this whole nw grip mess).

[StygShore]

Nothing since their most recent post - kinda gave up on it and I am getting some nicely finished wood grips.


Seems they are alwasy only 2 weeks behind, but eveyone has been waiting for 4+ months


Styg

[Chaos_Theory!]

Yeah, this has kind of gotten out of hand. They no longer have any legit updates and will not respond to contact attempts. Id give up on it as well but i dont think its right to be out $20 along with everyone else who pre ordered. I admit id like to see how the vert grips look n my Excal but its just not worth the wait. Id rather have my money back and go with a company that isnt worthless. Im beyond the point of understanding. These things should have been done long before their kid needed surgery (if thats even really a legit excuse and they arent making it up).

[Cougar River]

Hi everyone,

We have sent out grips today and I wanted to let those of you who did not receive notice of them being sent to you that you will be getting yours in a week or so. We are having great results with the new system and they are consistent for the first time. They are looking great!

Due to the graphite being in such demand some of them are out of order according to the date they were ordered but have no fear they will be out in the same amount of time.. a week or so.

Well i still havnt gotten mine. As i said before i want my grips VERY soon or i want a refund. Ive been ignored time after time when trying to contact them. I also didnt wait months for 8/10 grips. If they were refining how they were made the grips should be an easy 10/10. Seems like everything this company does is half ***.

Last batch goes out today. That should cover everyone , if you hadn't got yours yet , now you will. :D

There wasn't anything else to say, you said you wanted the grips or a refund. Very simple, you didn't want any "excuses" you just wanted what you wanted. So I didn't respond back as you requested. You will receive your grips this week.

I was finally able to take a look at my grips. The blue weave wasn't as bright as I hoped it would be, but overall I was satisfied. They looked good, and there were no 'bubbles' as far as I could tell. If you haven't gotten yours, be patient. I am sure they are working as hard and as fast as they can.

[Chaos_Theory!]

Got my grips yesterday........VERY unhappy.

Ok, well yesterday i got home and was pleased to see i had gotten a package from CR. It was a nice envelope with the grips wrapped in bubble wrap. Unfortunatly thats the best of it. Right off the bat i noticed one of the grips had a massive amount of small bubbles which made the grip feel like they had clear coated sand to the grip. I was under the impression they fixed this problem (maybe they are refering to bigger bubbles or possibly more small bubbles than even i have). Secondly is the back of the grips, they arent even close to even/smoothed out. Some high spots were obviously shaved down (which doesnt look to good) but it wouldnt have killed them to evenly sand down the back side at all. Lastly, and heres the real kiccker, they do not fit my frame. Im not sure if its the screw holes not matching up right or the top part of the grips being to tall and hitting the body of my marker not allowing them to line up well but its a PITA. My regular angel grips fit fine so theres def something wrong with these grips one way or another. So now im stuck with grips that i cant use unless i modify them which will only mess up the front sides of the grips (id need to shave the tops down a bit or adjust the screw holes). All that being said this really blows and i dont recommend these grips to anyone.

Pics (although not that good) to show what i described above.

We are working on the remaining grips that were ordered and they will be going out soon. We are discontinuing the grips. We will be selling them on auction for awhile depending on the demand. We feel that we can take pictures of each set of grips that are going out and so everyone buying will see them in advance and know what they are buying. They will also know that they will get them immediately when they buy them. So they are being taken off our website and we will no longer be taking orders for them.

We thank everyone for the orders and those of you who supported us and showed great understanding and patience, you are greatly appreciated. We are very thankful that for the most part everyone was happy with the product and that we received emails complimenting them. Your imput was gratifying.

Rest assured that everyone that ordered will be receiving them soon.

Thanks,
Melanie Fattig

Rudz, it wasnt your fault in the least. CR just isnt a good company to deal with. They made us wait forever for shotty quality grips.

im sorry you werent satisfied, but id appreciate if it, if you stopped bad mouthing CRAS

Sorry, but thats not going to happen. They have been nothing but unhelpful so far. I was told multiple times id be getting my grips at certain times and didnt. Finally got my grips and they are less than worthwhile. Lastly, they are giving me a hard time for wanting a refund since the grips will not fit my frame. What ive been through is not right and i plan to let people know.

I hate to dig up an old thread on this POS company - but it has now been over 8 months since I paid for my grips and I have yet to receive anything. They have also ceased responding to my emails (which, by the way, were always civil).

I see they've been buying various aquarium items on ebay as recently as early December.

At the very least they should man up and refund my money.

Tomorrow at work I'll check Nebraska bankruptcy filings and see if they're a done deal. Too bad I don't think my Paypal receipt would hold up as a proof of claim.

Has anyone ordered vert grips in gray/kevlar AFTER 4/24/06 and received them?

Has anyone else sent them money and received nothing in return?

I can post the pics of the pathetic ones I got.
I paid in May.
I was told I would be sent some nice ones.
I offered multiple times to send the ones I got back because I'm sure not going to use them.
But I still dont have any decent grips now after NINE months. :tard:
Here is what I was sent.

Yep, Cougar River does suck at making grips.
