    Tracy already addressed that, funny guy

    These are named by calendar year, not fiscal year.

I personally put paintball on hold while I've been waiting to finish this gun project and I really thought that dealing with PTP, as I have in the past, that I could count on them being close to the ship date they chose. Now, I'm not a part of the angry mob. A bit disappointed maybe, but not angry that we still don't have a product. I completely understand delays, and pushed back deadlines. But, I really thought this one was gonna be on time. I'll patiently wait, maybe get a few tanks hydro'd, pick up a few pieces of gear, and be ready to finish my project whenever it gets here.

      Has anyone ever delivered a custom mag product when they said they would? It's unfortunate, but, seems to be the norm when it comes to the mag owner community.

          come on

          Seriously people... Quit taking up thread space with these complaints. I keep my mouth shut. Why? They will deliver... Instant gratification society have some patience. Why am I wasting my time complaining about all of your complaining? Idfnk... ridiculous, you suckered me in. Now, I to, am a whiner.

            I vote...

            ...that all complaints posted on this thread be immediately deleted (and the 'complainer' have his genitals tack-welded to a soon-to-be moving train). Anyone second that motion?

              Or at least from people who have not actually ordered a body.

                I think as a customer it's our right to vent the fact that we are unhappy with the service thus far from PTP. I think if they even had an inclination it was going to be this long they should have told us so or have given us a new realistic deadline. Besides, I'm sure that PTP would much rather have me vent here, because if I cant I swear to god I'll end up calling them every day to do it, this close to 6 month wait on a project that was supposed to take a month is rediculous, especially with no future date of release.


                I have no problem waiting, but I want to know how long I'm going to be waiting. At this rate the ship date could very easily be June 2nd of 2014, they've given us no other shipping information since May.

                    And the reason they can't give a new approximate date is....

                      They do work for the military and when Uncle Sam calls them up you have to put everything on hold and help.

                          Well if I were us guys ( the buyers ) i'd just be glad we got in on this one
                          The Military probley gives them less grief than us
                          Just in your head try to figure costs on running this project : in this post he talks about time to set up 1 piece ;
                          Own a store or field? Want to advertise sales, special offers, or events? Then this is the place! Note: Please read the rules.

                          Then is this post he talks about machine time ;
                          Own a store or field? Want to advertise sales, special offers, or events? Then this is the place! Note: Please read the rules.

                          And remember that big pile of top shelf aluminum ;
                          Own a store or field? Want to advertise sales, special offers, or events? Then this is the place! Note: Please read the rules.

                          And there will be how many man hours on the design phase , then do it 2 or 3 more times cause everybody wants something different
                          Then prototype , Forest said he had 20 hours in getting it ( just the breech ) just right
                          Then you get to Production I'm not sure but i imagine PTP is probley just a 1 shift type of place so how long will that take
                          Then it goes to the Anno folks
                          It makes me think they did this more for the love of the game & us Automaggots , than money , seriously I paid what 220$( I forget it , don't matter ) for a EMag length body/rail combo , allready annoed ready to bolt on to a set of lowers

                          Tracy , Forest , Zoom , thanks for seeing this project through

                            Working in a machine shop I do know quite about the length of time and the headaches that go into a project like this, but I also know if I cant deliver I appologize and tell my client a new delivery date that I can guarantee it'll be done by.

                                Drix,
                                had a look at the G-Force Pneu-Mag Frame thread lately?
                                and they have no reason for the delays.

                                you know,
                                I would think that someone that does contract work for the military just might not be able to say much about it publicly.

                                that thought ever blow across the wind mills of your mind?

                                just telling us that we are waiting because of contract military work just might be saying too much and getting people in trouble.

                                so be adult about this,
                                be patient and respectful to those you post about.
                                you do not have all the information, nor does anyone else here.
                                and before you go saying something about being paid in full,
                                some of us paid deposits larger than your full purchase and we are not
                                complaining.

                                as for the guy that "put paintball on hold" waiting for this project.
                                good thing your not counting on better air quality anytime soon.
                                I mean what would you do then?
                                Stop breathing till the air was cleaned?
