Some local guy around here that the guys all take their guns to and they continually complain about his work. Crazy to think they keep taking their guns back to him. Recently someone's SBR PCC uzi bumped full auto at a match this weekend and he was like "I've taken it to XZY twice and he keeps saying its fixed!" Like, hey man, maybe you should either stop taking it there or stop paying him haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone had broke their barrel link and Adam was trying to find someone with the right length link so he could fix it. (He didn't have one with him). In the mean time apparently Adam had given the guy his personal gun so he could keep shooting. From what I understand after I left he found a link and fixed the gun for the guy.

Shmella Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I made that post. I'll say it, he isn't and wasn't a "nice guy" to me. Everything in the post is true, it's not a made up account/story just for kicks. ill say it again. I owned and atlas, I own an svi now. Go with the svi, you won't regret it.

osw333 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Everyone has anecdotal information. Some are more damning than others. Some are more praise worthy than others. http://www.doodieproject.com/index.php?/topic/5495-the-atlas-story/ Thanks for the info. Wow, a good gunsmith is hard to find. Few people mention Rob Cook, what happen to his svi?Sent from my SM-G935K using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osw333 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Haven't shot the SV, so please read the remainder of my commentary with that in mind. Additionally, I'll only speak with respect to my experiences. I do own a Titan in .40, and this is what I can say about the Atlas: It works - and it shoots the standard length loads just as well if not better than the "special" longer oal loads. Gun feels extremely solid. The weight feels like it's in the right places too. If you don't like aggressive texturing, the grip Adam uses is not something you will enjoy. That said, if you like an aggressive grip, it's one of the best out there. I've got about 2,000 rounds down the pipe of mine at this point, and it basically feels like the day it arrived. With respect to "flatness", it destroys any sort of polymer gun with respect to recoil impulse and sight return...again, haven't put it up against an SV so hard to say how it compares, but I'm certainly happy with it. Any time I've spoke with Adam, he's been top-notch, respectful, and given me more time on the line than I likely deserved, entertaining various questions. I had one of the set screws come loose from my grip after a practice session (and I lost it) - Adam and Gina overnighted me a new set. I know it's a part that probably only costs .25$, but it's the principal. I've ordered a Chaos from Adam to try out Open, and if it shoots on par with the Titan, I won't regret it in the slightest.Great info, thank you.

osw333 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'll second what Maximis said regarding finding a local guy to build your gun. Even a builder that's a couple of hours away is better than having to ship a gun to fix a small problem or make a minor modification. You can easily be out $150-$200 in shipping depending on the gunsmith. Some of the custom builders will cover the return shipping, but there's not many that will cover both ways. You also have the risk of damage/loss when handing over your expensive custom gun to FedEx or UPS. If you're not capable of doing small jobs like adjusting an extractor, installing a thumb safety, adding a thumb rest, etc., you should think long and hard about using a custom builder that's half way across the country from you. Thanks, we have local gunsmith is pretty good with 2011. I will check with him.Sent from my SM-G935K using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good gun but want something shorter with evo grip. Which ever I like better is going to be my main gun.

Ozy Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 inho, it's not really a fair comparison, and i say it with the utmost respect- i shot a friend's atlas pistol in 9mm, and compared to my svi in 9mm- simply no comparison in the way both point ,feel, recoil and cycle. if you can fork the $$$$, and wait a 1.5 years ,go with the svi.

Then he went on a Epic rant about how unfair the rules are, followed by doubling down on his stance when people called him out on it. Then he blocked tons of people on FB. Seems like a good way for a sponsored shooter to get his sponsors name out there. No one would of gave two shits if he didn't go on a FB rant about it.
