Carbon Fiber Grips Available Now!!!

[Cougar River]

I was so pleased with my E-Mag grips I bought vert ones for a different marker. I have no problem waiting. I knew that I pre-ordered the grips, which means I KNEW THEY WEREN"T READY YET. For those of you who complain about the wait, first edumacate yourselves on the process of making products from carbon fiber. Next, do the whole paintball world a favor and don't get involved with custom projects and products. Your expectations are too high, bordering on unrealistic. As for those who are dissatisfied with the product they received, sorry to hear it. I'm nothing short of elated how they fit, look, and feel on my marker.

Thank you so very much.

This is what it is all about for us!!!!

I received my vert grips yesterday and I think they look great on my gun. The price was right and I have no complaints. Don't tighten the screws to tight like I did.

Any info on how to polish these? I searched on google but there dosn't seem to be a guide.

ooooh

Hello ABTOCMEPb,

I had to register on the site just so I could actually discuss this post. I find it rather distressing to have someone come onto a public site and claim that only 2-3 people out of hundreds received their grips. I hope you understand that this is a group of individuals that get together here and discuss paintball and all that great stuff but it is a public forum with customers that have ordered from Cougar River. With this comment you have slandered our company and given the impression that we are taking people's money and not delivering on our part. I can assure you and the other posters in this thread that that is simply not true. I am deeply concerned that you have made these comments but I am giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are simply frustrated and did not think this statement through before placing it here.

You simply have no idea the kind of volume that we received for our grips. You must understand that not only were they ordered from people on this forum but these are on our website and are ordered by people in many areas of the country as well as out of the country. We make each order by hand and each set has many different processes you multiply this processing my the hundreds and you may understand the time involved in getting these out to our customers. We took pre-orders per a request before we began production, before production which means that we were taking orders on a process that was in its infancy at best. We have to tweak the process, sometimes having to start all over and try others just to get out the product that we felt was worth your money. Carbon Fiber is a hard material to get ahold of. It is used for the military and it has been very difficult to keep in stock due to the great volume of orders we received. There were times that we had to wait weeks just to get it. Custom orders of many things made by hand can take months to make so I don't think this is really that unusual especially when you consider that most companies and products have a production line already established before you place an order.

Although this post held serious accusations I am sure that you didn't realize the implications when you posted it; I hope that you understand more fully now that comments made without understanding the full facts can bring many unwanted and unwarranted consequences. I hope that this post brings light to the situation and relieves any concerns this post has raised.

You've got mail

Hello going_home.

I am very disturbed that you are not satisfied with the grips. Satifaction is our primary goal for our company. I would ask you to please send me an email and we can discuss what the problem is with your grips. We can not possibly do right by you without knowing what is wrong. Since I don't have your name from this forum I can't possibly contact you to find out what happened with your grips. So please don't hesitate to contact me and we will determine what happened.

Thanks,

You have an email.

You know, I remember seeing some really nice looking carbon fiber X/E-Mag grips a couple of months ago. I've also seen them on a couple of other E/X-Mags as well, but the ones inparticular I'm thinking of were on an all black E-Mag being sold in the classifieds section. I don't know who the screenname was that was selling it, but damn, those particular C/F grips panels looked sweet. I don't recall AGD ever making those particular grips, but all I remember was wanting a pair of those so bad for my X-Mag. Then I remember this particular thread starting up, and I was pretty excited....until I saw the pics. No hard feelings fellas, but to be honest, I'd never put these things on my X-Mag. They look nothing like the ones I saw awhile ago. Those C/F grips that were so hot way back when, looked like the real thing. I also think that alot of people that have the new ones now, either haven't seen or don't really remember what those older C/F grips looked like, but if they did, and they could compare between the two, I think the choice would be obvious. Later.

Um well ok.
Huh ?

^^^Yeah, with that response, you gotta be one of those dudes who haven't.

I feel you have put yourself on the line here and it was not your responsibility to respond to someone who was being so vocal. You were just trying to help everyone here and I didn't want you to have to respond when you were not responsible for any dis-satisfaction.

I'll now leave this thread in the most capable hands of Rudz and get to work on filling orders and answering emails.

Just be nice

thank you melanie

Rudz what on earth, you got grounded from AO ?
I know I will have to wait 10 days for your reply.
Try and behave yourself will you ?
LOL

I can see that "rudz" also got banned for 10 days for not being very nice, so you get an idea of his attitude around here. He is a very nice choice to be a representative of a "businessl gone bad".

People, simple request money back and buy great grips from Luke.

Yep I got my Emag grips today after two months.
I hate to dis anyones stuff but I will never use them.
They are terrible looking. The quality is very poor,
and I wouldnt do that to my Emag.
I cannot reccomend them to anyone.
They are that bad. I am very disappointed.

I just received my 45 grip panels after waiting 3 months(unlike the other style grips, it said they were available now) and unfortunately I have to agree. The finish quality is very poor, especially for a hand made 'custom' piece. They look homemade, there is pitting everywhere and lots of sanding marks. Not something I would be proud to show off. Initially I wondered if my expectations were too high but seeing going_home's post I realized that, no they are not.

I was going to refinish them myself but when I put them on my Y-frame, I found that the grips do not cover all the holes and the panels look crooked. So these panels are going in a cardboard box along with all the other paintball parts I have.

Surfaces are hard to photograph, but here are some pics.

Someone that just got banned dissing some one else that got banned in
my opinion is sort of hypocritical isnt it ?
Its the pot calling the kettle black.
ABTOCMEPTb is better than Rudz because he only got banned for 7 days ?
Give me a break.
Looking at your feedback doesnt give me a warm fuzzy feeling that I should
listen to your opinion. Sorry but your reputation isnt good in here.
