The Ral8k sbr I ordered just got shipped out today from the first batch. FYI for anyone that's anticipating theirs.

My order was 316X for a black T7 with separate orders the same day for grip and stock I believe.
My orders all show processing. Hoping it will ship soon! |

I'm no holster sniffer but if someone burned down the town garage and threw canned corn at the snow plow guys I'd drop off a case of beer at the DPW. ~Aimless

Black T7 shipping label complete and the stock I ordered shipping label created so good progress! Hopefully they track tomorrow.

@JT526 what’s your serial? Or what’s the number in the notes right above the tracking number?

That is the serial based on the pic Tommy posted a few weeks ago. Should be 14-000000X

There are some bad experience over on the thread at HKPro.
Really hope these get worked out and improvements are made in future batches, and that Tommy doesn't completely dump the project. |

Don't you tell me about galaxies! I walk them in the timeline.

I won’t bitch if Tommybuilt keeps my-not-yet shipped black T7 a bit longer while they work through initial complaints and check all their guns out.
And this is a reverse engineered gun with a brand new fire control mechanism so bugs are part of the deal. TB is a reputable company and our credit cards have purchase protection. No big deal yet. |

Discussion of problems or technical issues is welcome, but some people, most of whom do not have one of the guns, are going after him personally. That’s not cool, because TB has always stood by his product even if he can’t fix the issues. |

Tom is definitely a good dude - easily one of the nicest dudes in the industry and anytime I've spoken with him via email he has been beyond pleasant to deal with. Dude responded to my emails within a minute of sending and he was happy to answer literally any questions I had. |

Wednesday Addams doesn’t understand the trigger bar is connected to the sear. In normal operation, the trigger pulls the trigger bar forward which in turn pulls the sear forward thereby releasing the hammer. Pulling the tray backwards has the exact same effect. In that instance the trigger bar is stationary but hooked to the sear. Pulling the tray reward moves everything to the rear except the sear which is held by the trigger bar. The hammer then releases because the sear stayed with the trigger bar and the hammer moved away from it. I’m bewildered by the pins being that loose. The recoil rod presses against the backplate and is under tension. Any slack between the holes would be taken up by the backplate being pushed away from the receiver. If they had the recoil rod in it, then either the backplate is too snug in the receiver walls to move, or there is no tension on the recoil rod at rest. In any event, contacting Tom would have sorted the problem but evidently there is more money to be had dressing up, wearing masks, and talking about crap they have no knowledge about. |

There is a trigger bar spring, sear spring, firing pin spring, and firing pin safety all working against that happening. For a round to be in the chamber, the hammer must be restrained by the sear or else the carrier cannot cycle. For the hammer to be restrained, the sear must be engaged. If the sear is engaged then the trigger bar spring is at rest and not compressed forward because it would be pulling on the sear. If it was pulling on the sear then the hammer was not engaged by the sear. But you know what, the trigger bar is connected to the trigger so if the trigger bar was manipulated forward the trigger would move through its normal arc. If you’re not too bright and you think fiddling with the tray through the pin hole is a good idea, then sure it will fire without moving the trigger. But, every other instance strongly suggests the trigger was pulled. A dead trigger from hammer follow isn’t going to overcome the firing pin safety or the firing pin spring. |

One guy posted that he had all three backplates. The pistol, sbr and German. The German had hole size of .237 and the other two were reamed to .238 - .250 with very loose pins. The German was tight like it should be. IIRC the pistol backplate on his was the closer of the two.

mine is in and I am whelmed. Not over or under. It is cool, looks pretty baller, but I am just eh with it. I may shoot it may not, might be catch and release, added up with all the anccessories, mags, and zpoint/rsa it is about 1/2 way to another machinegun.
Amazing to actually hold something unobtanium though, dopamine hit is real. Initial Observations so far having not put a round through it: mags do not drop free in mine, not sure if that is a thing in the real deal could probably sandpaper that out or maybe it wears in. Trigger is good no complaints there, firm and crisp, heavy enough to feel safe but fairly light. Safety is easy to actuate and ergonomic for an HK. Tommy built stock and backplate is about as wobbly as my Lage m11/9 stock, more wobbly than my honey badger stock. Really like the carrying case it came in, that's a plus. takedown pins on mine are good to go, needs some persuasion in and out on the sbr backplate, a little tighter than looser if you know what I mean. texture and plastic is good, feels like quality. Zpoint/RSA sight clips on firmly like it should, so no issues there, XPS 3-0 is a no go same as others reported, larue aimpoint qd fit right on. I'd just use a Unity riser anyway if using an XPS 3 whatever qd one. |

Shipped last Friday and supposed to be delivered yesterday. Last update says it's still in Florida. Same thing with my grip and stock. USPS is terrible.

re: Infamous Video....
That video was so creepy and cringeworthy....the whole homosexual goth thing is just weird AF. |

I hope your guys Mp7’s work.

anyone still in need of a magazine?

The T7 group admins are touchy people.

|

I cannot currently recommend the T7, if they function like my friends T7 Didnt. As well as actions by their FB page on banning anyone with QC issues.

I tried mine out today and had no failures over several boxes and multiple ammo types

Also, while I am a sucker for HK pricing, it hurts knowing that Midwest Gunworks had 40 rounders in stock yesterday for ~$16 cheaper than Blueridge. Gotta pay to play I suppose. |
|

At Midwest they sold out in seconds. I think people are using site page change detectors, maybe for their own uses of the mags? But it’s suspicious.
I suspect the only reason I got my T7 was there was so much of that bullshit pinging Tom’s site that it crashed for a while and I got one when things cleared up. |

View Quote It's possible people are trying to quick-flip the mags, but it's hard to say without knowing how many have been sold overall. I'm more inclined to believe people just like hoarding an unreasonable amount of something "scarce." As far as the shenanigans on the first drop, I agree. There was a frenzy when it went live. Then everything crashed and people thought the drop would be canceled. A few minutes later I got as far as the payment page before the out of stock error. |
