    SVI wait time

    in Open Pistols

    Posted

     

    Actually, the info for the parts breakage is on this forum.  I’ve just been around a bit longer than you.  Most of the parts issues were being reported about 8-10 years ago.

     

    You obviously don’t know anything about USPSA classes and how to get them, so I have to doubt your mechanical know-how as well.

     

    What new gee whiz machinery do they have and how much quicker is it than the old machinery for individual parts? 

     

    Industry secret?  Lol . . .

     

    It used to take them 12 months to get through their parts backlog because their mills and heat treatment were slow?

     

    bulls#!t.

     

    These are custom $5500+ guns that many people don’t even know exist and many more than that would never spend the money on.

     

    When manufacturers want to be exclusive, it’s not unusual for them to limit the number of models being made to create exclusivity.  When the order pool drops too much, they try to make sales more appealing through incentives.  One easy incentive for exclusive manufacturers is reduced wait time.

     

    Logical, aligns with current market conditions, talks like a duck, walks like a duck . . .

    Whatever. I didn’t mean to make you angry.

    The most realistic explanation is that they just don’t have that many orders now.  There is a lot of competition and most of the firearms market is oversold.

     

    I remember there used to be a number of reports on their interchangeable breech faces, extractors, and trigger parts needing to be replaced after about 3,000 rounds.  Did they get those issues figured out?  I’ve always wanted an Infinity, but it’s not unusual for me to blow through 500 rounds in a weekend.

    They now have new machinery that allows faster lead times. So what ever gets ordered now will be less lead time.

    Remember this company makes everything in house ie springs, barrels, slides, frames, magazines etc. and fits, tunes and test fires them.

    Only thing they source out is the PVD finish.

    Your number of reports of IBF, extractors and trigger parts needing replacement after 3k rounds is probably bad information being repeated by mouth at LGS.

    If you’ve always wanted an Infinity maybe one day you’ll get one.

    There are Infinity shooters putting 500 plus rounds a day through them. 500 rounds a weekend is an Average B shooter trying to make A with practice and level I matches.

    I recently got to go to the Infinity factory and take a level I gunsmith course with Brandon and Casey and take a movement training course by Bill Drummond their factory shooter. It was very impressive operation.

    Mark 7 Evolution - General Discussion

    in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment

    Posted

    I was thinking of upgrading to a Mark 7 but after reading all these issues I feel more like.... just keeping my 650.
     
    can anyone confirm what is the status of the current Evolution presses. I can't afford to wait for a 'working' press of going through teething pains so if this is the case I will refrain from looking into this any further. thanks!
     
     

    Same here. Going to move up to a 1050 and call it good.

    I finally got the call yesterday! Gun should be at my FFL this afternoon so 15 months almost to the day.
     
    I’ve got to find some time to sight it in and develop a load before next weekend. I was going to do all that this weekend but received even better news! I have a new Granddaughter so we are headed to Ft Campbell tomorrow. This has been a week filled with great phone calls.

    Congrats! You’ll enjoy both.

    Yes, 9mm limited guns are stupid unless you have a REALLY good reason for getting one, like you shoot 3-gun and are sponsored and someone else is paying for it.
     
    You'd be best off getting a 40 and loading it for major, unless you are an 11-year old girl or have severe hand issues that prevent you from shooting grown-up bullets.  [emoji6]

    True... very true.

    Stroked .40 and spring / buffer

    in Gun Springs

    Posted

    I didn't care for a stroked pistol so I used a Wilson buffer and a Dawson alumabuff in front of it with a Wolff 12lb spring.It still had a little stroke but I liked it much better.
    Not all springs equal the advertised rate. Get a good spring scale if you don't already have one.

    Still listed in their store so it seems to still be available. Change out the milspec Trigger and good to go. Mine works fine but I’m only going to play with it a time or two a year locally. 
      If you are going to get serious and go full PCC then you will start changing so many parts that you may as well build one from scratch. 

    Thanks
