MikeD 541 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 This is a copy of the update email I just sent out to everyone that has placed an order with me... To all customers, Please read the entire content of this email! If you don't you will likely miss your answers! First let me apologize again for any unanswered emails. I have been completely overhauled with questions lately. I have been receiving around 50 emails a day. I was behind before and me catching up is not in sight right now. I really hate this as I have tried to pride myself in responding to every email I receive in a timely manner. But time and demand just isn't allowing that right now. As much as I hate it doesn't change the fact though that I am completely overwhelmed with emails from people who have ordered, people who want to order, and those that just have questions. If anybody feels it has been too long and are not willing to wait any longer can cancel their order at any time and receive a full refund, no questions asked. If this is what you want to do send me an email WITH A SUBJECT TITLE OF " Cancel Order" or something to that effect. If you don't put that as a subject title it is very likely I will not get the email in a timely manner. Like I was stating above... I currently have HUNDREDS of emails in my box. I will scan through the SUBJECT TITLES for emails about cancelling orders. If you want to cancel your order DO NOT reply to this email without at least changing the subject title and expect me to find it anytime soon. Please read the rest of this email before deciding to cancel your order. If you do cancel your order you will not have a chance to order off the first production run again and the price of the drums are now $215, not the discounted price of $165 on your current order. I just want to make that clear. As most of you know I received a few drums off of the molds to test for mold accuracy and function. I sent a good number of these out for others to independently test. I have run thousands of rounds through some as well. The results are great and response from those testing have been great as well. I am still not sure of when I will be shipping. There are some very slight adjustments being made to the molds. I know that my receiving units from the molds have caused some confusion that I am starting to ship or that the production run has been started or completed. This is not true. I haven't started the production drums yet. I just need for these minor adjustments to be completed. By making these adjustments will make for a over all better product that you the customer will benefit from. Yes, I probably could have kept them as is but I want this drum to be the best it can possibly be on the first production run. You can rest assured that my drum isn't some rushed to market piece of trash like the Wraithmaker. My drum works in unmodified guns and all the BS excuses Wraithmaker has been making will soon be in the light for the total crap they are. There is no need to mod your gun (for $180 extra) like you have to with the Wraithmaker. I do understand the great desire from people to receive the drums. I remember what it was like waiting for my order of AGP mags to ship and it was a very hard and tortorus wait. But it was well worth it when I did receive them and the drum will be no different. Well, there will be a difference. The first AGP mags was selling for $60 each and soon after shipping began the price of them dropped by about $20 each. The first drums will be shipping for $165 each and the price of future drums has already been changed to $215. That is $50 MORE each. If you can please just be patient a little while longer, you will receive your drums soon. I will continue to give updates on the progress. Hopefully you can see that shipping is drawing very near and that the test drums I received from the molds are a testament to that. I know there are some of you that I haven't collect the final payment from yet and that are wanting to pay it. I just want to assure you that despite me not getting back to you yet on the final payment, I will with sufficient time to make sure your order isn't held when shipping begins. Again I apologize for the lack of email response. If you would like to read some of the reviews given by the drum testers or pics they have posted you can find them at www.forum.saiga-12.com. I also have posted some pics of the mold's test drums there myself. I know I have sent the link to this site before but want to express again that anybody that has ordered my drum or that owns a saiga should not be a stranger there. It is a wealth of information and one of the best places to stay up to date of my projects. Thanks again for your patients, we are almost there, MikeD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
headshot 52 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I spent all my ammo money on .308 and 5.56 anyway, so I can wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaleGribble 0 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have a question. If any orders do get canceled can the folks that have already ordered and paid get first dibs at those drums? If so, will we get them at the $165 price or the new $215 price? I've already ordered and paid for two drums and I'd probably be interested in a third. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like another drum at the old rate too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kellysguy 1 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 When I had my shop, I had a lady who kept calling every 15 minutes asking if her car was finished yet. This went on all day. On the last call she asked why I hadn't got it done yet. I replied " I WOULD HAVE HAD IT DONE BY NOW BUT THE PHONE KEEPS RINGING EVERY FIFTEEN MINUTES" !!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bayoupiper 738 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'd have flat rated her! Keep up the good work Mike! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dvdivx 0 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 What should I put in the subject line if I want to pay in full for whenever it comes out. I just don't want to miss out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vangcomper 0 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 You said that when you are taking orders for the first shipment of 3" Drums that you will offer a similar discount price to first orderers as you did with the 2 3/4" drums, correct? Because I really want a drum, but I want the 3" model!! (24 pellets .30 caliber pellets from 3" #1 buck per shot!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
