    I wish he had been able to communicate too… Luckily I was able to get a hold of him. I had a little bit a help. Thank you 6500 rpm. He was able to extract the orders that were placed, but not get back into his storefront. Hopefully, you guys had an email associated with your account, and will get communication from him. We will not see that our order has been processed through his storefront.

    From Mike:

     

    Dave, I truly apologize. Something happened when my security certificate renewed and it locked me out of the backend of my store. The store will still accept orders though which has caused problems. I can't even see what orders have been placed or I would ship them manually. I can't do anything. My website hosting and security certificate provider has gave me the run around for over a damn month on helping me fix the issue. Dealing with people that barely speak English, promising everything but delivering nothing. I have finally given up on them and in the process of switching everything over to godaddy and they promise to get it straightened out soon. [...] PS... If you ever need a website avoid Bluehost at all costs... Thanks, Mike

    Thank you. Had not thought to check other sites. Maybe i can reach out through there.

     

    No clue why he avoids the board like the plague after his humble beginnings here, but as far as I can tell from his Gun Broker account (seller-MD Arms), he's alive and well. Always has interesting stuff and occasionally helps others (like Todd from ORF's family after he passed to liquidate stock). Keep trying to contact him, I doubt you've been burned despite the delay.

  17. Delayed Order Processing

    Has anyone else ordered through Mike's website after Christmas and have delayed orders? The one I placed on the 10th has been idle ever since with no response to email or phone.

     

    I had placed an order before Christmas and it shipped fine. Pretty sure I'm not being snookered but no communication has me worried about fulfillment.

     

    Thoughts?

    Quick question because I haven't found a clear answer elsewhere. I'm looking at a suppressor for my IZ-332. Do we know for sure if Izhmash barrels are concentric to the barrel or the usual "you better make sure since it's a crap shoot" situation?

  21. newb question on muzzle brakes

    Flash hiders attempt to reduce visible gas emissions from the barrel. This hopefully reduces the reduction of effect on the shooter's vision.

     

    Boosters were left off the list I believe... They attempt to boost the gas pressure to assist recoil forces acting on cycling components.

     

    Compensators are the same as brakes.

  22. Question about 24 inch barrel..

    Hey, sorry I didn't follow up on this. Looks like you received some good advice though. The 107 will eat everything out of the box but but really loves high brass. My gun has two gas ports. I run a poly choke so the extra barrel length doesn't help there... It does however give a boost to magnum slugs.

     

    The only malfunctions I have had with the gun are when it isn't held snugly and recoil forces aren't allowed to cycle the carrier properly, and one of the springs (BHO IIRC) kept sliding off an armature so I had to bend the end a little.

     

    She is a mammoth though.

     

    Converting her finally this week if I ever get the parts shipped.

     

     

     

    I found my IZ-107 pretty easily a few years ago. ...

    Thanks for your help. How many gas holes are in the barrel on your 24 inch barrel? What do you think are the positives of the 24 over other length barrels? What shells would you recommend to use with the gun?

    Thanks for your help!

    I found my IZ-107 pretty easily a few years ago. The box was not sealed in plastic. I think that would be the hardest to find. Don't think any actually come wrapped in plastic. Inside the firearm was in a plastic bag but not sealed. Might be worth something to a collector in a few decades, but probably more just another blaster.

     

    My two cents.

    Oh and... It wasn't a great deal. I paid for what I wanted... $700.
