vette447 11 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Man, this is a HUGE bummer. I just found these conversions and it looks like I am a few months too late. These are wonderful conversions and I am excited to see them being done by fellow Oklahomans. Maybe some day I will be abe to order one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 We are constantly advancing the technology of our methods, and throughput is constantly increasing. Tony is burning through the list, much faster than we expected. Unofficially I can assure you that the list will open up sooner than 2011. As long as it's legal Tromix will continue to crank out the finest Saigas available. We are doing everything possible to incease the availability of these weapons; remember, a few scant years ago nobody knew about them. Tony has been scrambling to meet demand ever since.

bitterbatter 0 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Sweeettt keep burning that list up tony!! *cant wait for my next one* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Be of good cheer, me hearties. Just this weekend, Tony increased his throughput ny 30% (my estimate) There will be no decrease in quality assurance. LOTS of guys who think they are too late will be getting one, even sooner that they think. If you can get a raw S12, get it. If not, Tony has a fuckin sky-high pallet of them, and a desire to convert tham. Your time maybe be nigh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wotan1105 7 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Lets hope Obongo is a tad bit busy with other problems for his first year and the wait list for the wait list gives way to the wait list for the wait list for the wait list. I'm good at waiting either way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottGunn 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 We're already in the 700 range on the wait list, so I am closing it, end of day, October 24th 2008. I don't expect it to reopen until around 2011. Tony Rumore Tromix Corp Maybe I am missing something here, but if the product is such a success and orders are guaranteed, why in the world wouldn't the operation expand and hire additional employees, larger building, etc, like most businesses do? It seems like a simple supply/demand issue, and it's not like there is a lack of experienced workers looking for work right now. Maybe they just want to keep this a "family" operation, but it sure seems like expanding in order to keep up with demand would be a win/win solution here. The customers are taken care of within a reasonable time frame and profits for Tromix would go through the roof! Asking a customer to wait that long is really pushing it, I have no doubt that there are hundreds if not more customers that they will lose because they can't keep up. Anyone know what is holding Tromix back? I am not putting them down at all, they obviously have some reason for not expanding, and it is their business, their choice by all means. Just curious.

kyhelo 5 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 It's like going in for some very serious surgery. You talk to the older, experienced doc who's successfully and masterfully (?) done hundreds of the same operation. Business is good for him, but how about the young new partner getting a little experience on you? The old doc will still be close by, just not personally doing the job. Ehh, I think I'll wait. When I get the chance to buy a Tromix, I want a TROMIX. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joelrod47 373 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 That's kinda like asking why Pablo Picasso didn't just hire a bunch of "experienced artists" to mass-produce drawings and paintings............ Here's what you're missing: TROMIX is Tony Rumore. He builds each gun personally. That's why he's #1 in his field. Believe me, it's well worth the wait to get it !!

rotortuner 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Ya, i have seen it happen before with other hobbies i have been in, some small business that the guy does everything personally and its awesome, then he trys to expand and before you know it, his production numbers are up, but he is just a manager and now has a bunch of 20 year old kids doing the stuff and the product goes to shit. It happens all the time, and I think its good that tony keeps it small enough that he is still doing it all personally, it keeps the quality control pretty easy, when there is only one guy with his hands in the process. I will happily wait for the superior product, plus your not out anything while you wait, since he doesnt charge you until your gun is sent in. Like Etac, he sat with my gun and money for 10 months and i barely got it back, none of that with tromix. CJG Edited February 18, 2009 by rotortuner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Tony and I have worked together on his processing, and have increased his throughput greatly. Also, having Mel on the phones full time really frees Tony up for doing what he does better than anyone else: build Saigas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
