A good example of really bad quality aluminum.

I just found this pic in PBNation man i have never seen anything like this.

Does this count has a factory defect???

[Lohman446]

In SPs world no...

I had a max-flo tank reg with a leak, I sent back to them after trying to fill once - they charged me for it

I had a end cap seized in a Shocker, brand new. I got it out (it involved lag bolts and channel locks), cleaned the threads on the body, and put in a new one. Called tech support they told me it was because I had tried to dissassemble with pressure on it. A) The marker had never seen pressure. B) The thread was folded forward, not backwards.

I like SP stuff, don't get me wrong, but there quality control sucks and there tech support lies (not even convincingly).

all that damage from just screwing on a tank! Looks good!

As you can see in the shadow of the shocker in the pic the feedneck got off too.

[personman]

what the hell.. i really hope that's photoshopped

[Lohman446]

I would guess someone was holding the tank, while someone else was trying to remove a locktighted feedneck and did that, using the tank and a tool for leverage. Could be wrong of course.

The frame and everything is full of dirt i think someone did a superman slide and in some way all the body weight of the guy got on the marker.

could have been a bad dive, thats my bet. usually the gripframe just snaps off, this time, the screws probabally held, and the frame twisted feed neck prolly broke off as well

[TheTramp]

Looks like the maxflow held up nicely though.

[Torbo]

ive never seen that before. Shocker feednecks suck, the threading is so fine that they tend to break very easily

[KapitalJin]

or a car could have ran over it...

[paint magnet]

Heh, if you sent that back to Smart Parts, they'd probably say it was their new ergonomic grip or something.

[68magOwner]

i bet smart parts sues that guy for defacing their product

[cdacda13]

Thats the new grip frame.
All the cool kids have one.

[wanna-b-ballin']

i bet the owner is pissed.
thats why you dont leave your toys laying all over the floor. they get run over and stuff.

i know if i saved up enough money for one of those, and someone ran it over, i'd be really mad
