      Yes, these frames have been produced and shipped but was only available through preorder. The only way to get one now is if someone sells their own.
      No other production pneu-frame is available.

          Well to start, there was about a 10 month delay from the original anticipated shipping date. Much of the design and fine-tuning was done at that point. There was quite a bit of backlash from customers every time a new delay was announced. Now that they have shipped and owners appear to be quite happy with them, I can only assume that G-Force just doesn't want to deal with the headache of it.

          There is also the possibility of patent conflicts (there are about 3 pneu-frame patents that I know of) but I don't know anything about that and I could only speculate.

          It really is too bad since it has gotten great reviews. However there are still a number of customers still waiting for the G-Force internal LPR which accompanies the frame.

          On top of all that, Automag owners are a very small customer base in the PB world. There just isn't a whole lot of 3rd party support outside of the Mag community.

            true true

            That is all very true, sadly. This internal lpr, im guessing that just sits/mounts inside the grip frame then? Are these in production? If so, Are they any good? Thank you for your information.

              We don't have them yet. I can't wait though. These frames are silly fast and an LPR that can keep up at the low pressures they can run off of will be the icing on the cake.

                        Just to add to this, it would be reasonably easy to replicate the layout of this frame into a homebrew setup. The MSV-1 virtually slots straight into the top of an intelliframe, well it does need a bit of milling. Do it right and the MSV-1's on/off pin will strike the back part of the trigger where the safety is. Make up a clamp fitting to hold the MPA-3 in place and make your own sear extender and hey presto! You have a faster firing frame than a standard Pneumag frame. A couple of magnets later on the rear of the trigger and frame, and your away. The extender just lowers the operating pressure allowing you to increase your adjustable reg pressure that little bit higher, assuming that is if you have an afdustable reg of course, although an adjustable reg is not essential.I can hear the patent infingment letters coming through my letter box already!!

                              Any updates on the internal LPR? Anyone hear from Garf?
                              I've been working 12hr days so I have not had time to check on it.
