So, is this buy gonna go down or what? I'm interested in one.

Carl,
I haven't totaled the interest, but I think we will have enough interest to make this happen. I'm waiting on another quote from Justin before we make this thing fly. There is the possibility that we will be able to drive the price down a little bit. More info to come over the following week or so. GIFFMANN |

I counted 15 that said they were interested/wanted one. If it comes down to it I'll take two since I have a lot of builds planned for September 15th
|
|
HEY! Well, now it looks like we're at 18 |

Marc,
You did remember to include mine in those totals, didnt' you??? I dont want to be left out!! Also guys, I'm working something on these with one of the large vendors who supports this board. If he goes for what I IMed him this morning, we may be able to get the price down to $70 even. GIFFMANN |
|
Well there's our 20! Where do we send the money? |
|
|
I talked to a few other guys who think they are in for one or two as well. I'm in.
Will he be able to take plastic? |
|
Stickman,
If I can't get setup for plastic by then, I will be able to take paypal. Either way, however, since I'm making absolutely nothing on these, I would have to charge you the processing fee. Let's wait a few more days to get some final numbers and we can start laying out how we will handle this. GIFFMANN |
|
put one more on the pile.....i don't have any real need for one but since i've been wondering for a long time when someone would do one i might as well put my money where my mouth is.....
|
|
|
You poor bastard, are you going to be handling everything? What a PIA, make sure you don't lose money!! |
|
|
Stickman,
I'm a glutton for punishment. 'Sides, since my personal business isn't big enough to become an industry partner, I figure I'll give some of my time to the folks here. GIFFMANN |
|
That is pretty big of you, every time I have "helped out", I have ended up losing money. Just make sure you have all angles covered (shipping, paypal fees etc..).
Thanks for bringing this to us! |
|
Interested in one but is the mount knob (the post and rail-grabbing attachment) included or do we have to purchase them also too?
Let me know. thanks, kyle |
|
Khadre,
My assumption at this point is that the mounting parts are all included. However, I have sent an email to Justin to verify this. GIFFMANN |
|
Ok, giffmann, thanks. Keep in touch when the final price is set for taking order.
|
|
Unless we get 100+ of the carry handles, Justin would prefer not to make the modification to the relief cut on the rear of the handle. Doing so would actually require him to re program two seperate operations on the CNC code.
GIFFMANN |
|
I'm not picturing the relief cut.... Someone help me out please.
|
|
Here's the relief cut. Giff, I don't think the relief cut is a big deal. They'll be cool enough without them |
|
|
Ahhh, with a little sleep and a lot of coffee (plus a picture), it all makes sense!!
Thanks. |
|
BTW, gents: it appears that Giff isn't going to be selling these at a huge mark-up. Can we show him some appreciation for his time and effort and kick in a little extra? I'd rather pay a little more and reward a self-starter than haggle about a few bucks. No one else is selling this product, everyone's selling A2 handles and BUIS.
I like the look of Jason's cut out as pictured in the first post, and I like the idea of his mark on it in the style of forging marks.
I for one, like the look of the A1 sights, but I don't want to commit to a sighting system. With a flattop, I can choose whatever sight arrangement I want, based on lighting, time of day, mood, and phase of Moon. :) |

|
bikblok,
Thanks for the encouragement there. For clarification, I am not marking the handles up in any way, shape or form. GIFFMANN |
|
I received confirmation from Justin today that the pricing does include the clamping bar and the nuts.
I will be working with Justin over the next few days to finalize payment details as well as delivery dates. Once I've got that worked out I will update this thread. GIFFMANN |
|
Talking to? No, he hangs out at the same highway rest stop you do. |
|
|
I still feel used |
||
|
Hey, Lumpy, I did give you the "reach around", a courtesy you didn't extend to me.
Beat that disturbing and OT comment! |
|
You're getting forgetful....last time YOU wanted to be the bitch. |
|
|
Then why are you the one feeling used?
BTW, are the sight parts going to be installed or come uninstalled? |
|
I hope uninstalled. I want to put an XS same-plane and a Rapidex knob on it.
|
|
The sight parts will come uninstalled.
Also, Knightone, remember that the sight parts are not included in the $78 but I can get them for you if you require. GIFFMANN |
