Update for July 22, 2013

Hello, everybody!  Here is our update for July 22, 2013. 

STATUS UPDATE

Barrels.  We now have 8 sample barrels in hand from our local source.  They are VERY good.  We think these will be more than satisfactory for our customers who did not purchase the Lothar Walther barrel.

And speaking of Walther, we are informed that 6 sample barrels will be shipped tomorrow!  Furthermore, they have made the assertion that once we are pleased with these samples, they can deliver up to 100 per month.

Testing.  We have begun the first trials, and everything is successful so far.  Naturally, we will not ship anything until we are sure the Joshua Mk5 is safe and consistent.
 
 
REBATES

All rebates due have been mailed!

DELIVERY UPDATE

Thank you for your patience.  We know you will be happy you waited.

PHOTOS AND VIDEOS (no change)

The receiver, its construction and parts, bolt modifications, and quad rail design are new and proprietary.  We therefore can’t show anything pertinent until we patent. 

We realize this is inconvenient, and we apologize for any anxiety it causes.

Update for July 5, 2013


Hello, everybody!  Here is our update for July 5, 2013.  We hope you had a great Independence Day, whether you read the Constitution or just watched fireworks.  God bless our country!

REBATES

The big news is that the first contractual rebates will be mailed today!  

STATUS UPDATE

Quad rails have worked out well.  We are very pleased so far with what we've machined.

Barrels are still not delivered.  Lothar Walther promised samples in April, which have already been paid for, but it's July and we've seen nothing.  Phone calls and emails have produced only polite reassurance.  We are very frustrated here.


Meanwhile, we are pursuing the local angle, and have a maker who is reasonable and good.  Again, just waiting for samples.

From Arizona, Harris has delivered blank barrel for our assessment.  Harris also makes barrels, and we are considering them for the future.  For our education, please let us know your experience with Harris, good or bad. 
 
All in all, we're very close.  The Joshua is ready for testing, just requiring barrels. 
 

DELIVERY UPDATE

The delivery dates are continued to be pushed back as we wait.  We are as unhappy about this as you are.

You, our customers, have been very supportive, and we appreciate you very much.


PATENTS (no change)

We can’t patent until we are done testing.
