      this seems to be the story of akas life lately, the OTE forum on pbn is getting a little hostile too with the rediculous waits.

          Crazzy,


          there is no reason, except it takes time to actualy mill and ano then assembl;e parts , and some times you run out of things that you thought you had a metric ton of,

          Gtris:


          Umm, if its part of the MD batch its done and waiting for him to call, most other feathber lites are puit together by JmJ I think.


          Hope that helps

              Markers are ready. Now if we can just work some magic to ship to us from the factory rather than bounce it up to Maine to Mark first.
              Otherwise its going to be 3 days late for the event purchased for in the first place. Other than for a sweet marker in and of itself.

                Thats one retailer. Thats like blaming Dye because my local store screwed me on a DM4 purchase. HOWEVER, OTE's owner is an AKA master tech, so I agree that he needs to resolve the issues.

                GTRsi, I'd say stick with it, especially since its at the shop. If there is one recurring issue with custom AKA guns, its the long wait time. A good way to avoid that is buy one they have in stock, or buy used. I can never figure out why it takes 8 friggen months to make it but once you get it the enjoyment you derive from it should outweigh any lingering rage

                  You've got other guns. Why did you skip the practices and tournament?

                  Just use your other guns until the custom viking's ready.

                    I emailed mark,
                    He is making sure its cool with AKA to ship from there.

                      Yeah I took Friday as vacation just to drive from Minneapolis to outside Milwakee (6-7 hours drive) for a weekend event. I'll take having it overnighted and drive in the dark Friday night rather than not have it till next week. My passengers will just have to wait with me it thats the case.
                      Enticing Dan Voils to come to the event would be even better, and hand delivered maybe. Its a longshot though.

                        Not bad even considering the wait.
