How about you learn how to manufacture what you have first so your 50s don't have a 3 year waiting list ?????

The Super Shorty has been around since 2005 when I was working there. We used to do 50-75 at a time of 870's or Mossberg 500's.
I have one I got around 2008 or so. Fun as hell. When me and the wife go to the range, she always makes sure it's packed to go. She loves firing it. |

There's no market for it.
He might sell some based on his name, but if some random company made it though, it would be universally laughed at. |
|
Wait so I can get a super shorty? I don’t have an AOW, I would buy one of these.

Quoted: That wasn't the rifles fault. It was handloaded SLAP rounds. SLAP shouldn't be fired through a standard chambered barrel. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Or...you know, explode. That wasn't the rifles fault. It was handloaded SLAP rounds. SLAP shouldn't be fired through a standard chambered barrel. And frankly impressive how much the gun did hold up Unfortunately, the failure of the rifle did cause a part to go directly back, but I’m not sure a bolt wouldn’t have done the same thing |

Quoted: Or...you know, explode. View Quote Pro tip, when you have to hammer out fired cases and one shot gives a fireball 2x as big as the previous one and the sound is completely different you probably shouldn't keep shooting... |

Will we see those by the time the Serbu SU15 hits the market?

They didn't design it for horrendously overpressure ammo though. Same result. |

Went to buy a Serbu Super Shorty a few years ago and he stopped making them. I had a Mossberg converted by Safety Harbor instead.
This is just after cerakote. The lighting is terrible. It's stupid and awesome. Attached File |

View Quote mark hasn't had them on his website in forever. i don't know why he stopped making them, but it's been years since he's had them. ( it felt like he was so busy fucking around with that 20mm rifle, he just gave up on the super shorty) |

Quoted: Technically you can get one now. Either by machining it, or 3d printing it yourself. The GB-22 isn't super secret. He's put out videos on it for years now, but it was a proof of concept to make the cheapest functional gun possible for gun buyback schemes. I don't quite understand the angle of brining it to market himself, as it likely would come in at an end user cost higher than the amount it could be resold for in a buy back. It only really makes sense to me to sell to home builders that want an actual reference gun straight from the source. He does sell the plans now.

It’s a bufferless AR design, like a KAC PDW. |

I called them directly and asked what was up with the Super Shorty and was told it was discontinued. They suggested Safety Harbor. Pretty much the same design and works great. |

I always wanted one of his Super Shortys, I don't get the direction he's taken the company in with the .50s though but I'm not in the firearms business.

I’m unable to watch the video. Is he bringing the Suoer Shorty back or making new handguns?
|
|
Quoted: I'd be happy just getting back the money they took on the SU15 preorder. View Quote Ah, email them to get your refund. I had to do the same thing. I agree they should have sent it back to you, but you have to request it be returned. |

View Quote @Triggerstuck What grip on the SS? |
|
|
Didn't he have a somewhat interesting AR upper design years ago, maybe based on the AR180 design?
I assume he was unable to bring it to market on account of it having, ya know, moving parts. |
|
Quoted: Too much demand for his .50 cals shifted his priorities. I can't blame him, he has to follow the money, but it sucks if you want a super shorty. No, I meant you can get one of the pistols now, lol.

All of his guns are fugly crap IMO.
Especially that abomination of a handgun. (Hold up. It's a single shot .22? Who the fuck wants that?) Are his shop tools from the industrial revolution? If you played a drinking game based on the number of times the YouTube "host" flagged Mark, you'd be drunk by minute 3. |

Quoted: I've been trying to find a Siris integrally suppressed Ruger MkII. Built a few of those also. Always meant to buy one but never got around to it. Now he doesn't produce them. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/89/IMG_3533-1759898.jpg View Quote The AWC Badlander (MkIII) has been fun over the years. Never a hiccup, but not as quiet as I’d like. ETA-Wrong pic. |

Putting a SBS Super Shorty under my tactical levergun sounds like an insanely fun time.

View Quote i don't know if he ever took the 20mm to market, but i bet for every one he might sell, he could have sold a hundred super shortys. way to overestimate the market. |

I've got a Super Shorty.
IMO it's one of the funnest guns available that's not expensive to feed. |
