    Seriously, what's the holdup? These will sell very well based off of the interest shown in this thread alone and clearly the prototype has been around long enough to receive several thousand test shots and even a nice ano. Now there are videos that prove the frame will rock our socks off. At this point, I have to say you're (whoever "you" is) holding out on us...and teasing us to boot.

    I hope legal issues aren't behind the delay; that could mean we'll be waiting for a couple more years on top of the 12 years we've already been waiting. Okay, it hasn't been quite that long, but it feels like it.

    Regardless, great job on this frame!

      I'm hoping the hold up is for ACTUAL frames.

      As a person who was on the g-force pre-order debacle I can safely say I would rather wait for an actual frame to pay for. Then wait for a frame I have already paid for.

      Tuna-Whats up? Are these going on pre-order or will they be in stock ready to sell?

        someone obviously doesnt understand what it takes to go from prototype to full production model...

          You'd be very surprised. I work for a company who designs custom test and automation systems and we can design, fabricate, test, and ship extremely quickly.

          I think sometimes companies make the process longer than it needs to be (i'm not saying that's the case here).

            I don't think that has anything to do with his impatience.

            It seems to me this product was leaked and not debuted. Beemer is the one that posted pics. Unless this is his frame that means he leaked the product.

            So many people (myself included) have been using the start of this thread as the date this product was introduced.

            Was it ready to be introduced?

              It'll be a sad say when we all find out this is a one-of-a-kind frame not to be reproduced.... *knocks on wood, several times

                Why would someone invest time and energy and money into making a one off frame when there are so many others available for the mags that would cost a FRACTION of the cost.

                  I spoke with Tuna a few weeks ago. No specific details were mentioned. But I can safely say this is NOT a one off...

                      according to this thread. Tuna will be the one selling it.

                      as far as who makes it. I'd like to know that as well.

                          Well i had the opportunity to test this frame out and i gotta say this thing really does rock The trigger pull was butter smooth and very short.

                          i had Zero chops and/or ball breaks.

                          No matter how fast i tried to shoot that thing it could not be out shot

                          This frame is pure sex.....i have to give it a 10/10 i honestly found nothing wrong with it or anything i would change.

                            Is it going to be just the frame or is the trigger going to be included?

                              I hope the trigger is included. That thing looks great with that frame.

                                well then you should know how "fast" an aftermarket part for a mag is produced, especially when taken into account man power behind it and the process itself...

                                then again i havent seen a pre-order yet so maybe that means therewill be plenty to go around? hopefully especially with all this interest including my own...
