    kinda dissapointed by the lack of pre orders.

    It looks like as of 7/8/16 we are at 7 with 2 pending.

    If you guys can get 10 bodies I will put down for an 11th to nock the price down.

    This offer stands until Luke decides to close orders/lock pricing.

    To match the first run OLTR set up I already have.

    Unfortunately the recreation funds are being channeled into another (non-paintball for once) project now, so I'm out for this version of deflator. If a pump version ever materializes, I'm in for that.

    I need to know if you guys want your parts shipped assembled or un-assembled, especially the LPR.

    There's more for your ano guy to clean up if they go out assembled. Plus from what I've seen they dont do a very good job removing the thread sealer which isn't ideal. It's much cleaner and easier for the anodizer if they get the parts direct and unmolested, what ever the case LMK here, not in a PM.

    Thanks

    I forgot to mention that I can drop ship to your anodizer and even re-asssemble if you have it shipped back to me and cover the extra shipping charges. If you send me all the other parts I'll gladly test the marker too.

    Unassembled from you will work best. I'll then get them anodized and then ship back to you. I'm fine with covering the shipping charges.

    Go ahead and ship to me, and I'll work out the anodizing.

    Once that is done, I'll contact you, if needed, for assembly assistance. I have no problems with paying for your time and additional shipping if I have to....

    Assembly is actually pretty easy. I have instructions for the LPR and the carrier is pretty much self explanatory. Plus I can assist assembly if necessary. It wouldn't hurt everyone to learn the in ands outs of all the parts anyway, after you do it once yourself you're good to go. Whatever the case I'll help out one way or another.

    I decided last night to go ahead and number the bodies just as a thanks to you guys that supported the project. In 25 years the bodies might be worth something, lol

    This is the only decent picture I could get, raw aluminum is hard to photograph.

    I always like to consider the resale value when ever I buy anything of note. Cars, guns, etc.

    Except then I have to remind myself that I never sell anything anyways. I still have a Land Cruiser from '81 and a BMW from '93. And neither of them are currently running...

    Hoarding seems to be in my genetics.

    You can send mine unassembled.

    I might have you send direct to Anodizer. Getting that setup. Will let you know.

    Hey Scott, these are pretty much processed and ready to ship, they will should be going out tomorrow. After considering everything, I've decided there are way to many pieces to send everything to the anodizer. I'm just going to ship everything direct to you so you have all the bits and pieces to keep track of.

    This project is officially done!

    I will be finalizing the orders this evening and tomorrow.

    No changes were made anywhere since the prototype but I'm going to assemble mine and run some paint threw it tomorrow. If nothing was overlooked I'll ship orders out tomorrow afternoon.

    Thanks guys

    People are asking about these so I'm gonna run a few through the mill.
    Deflator Body Kit $320
    http://www.lukescustoms.com/deflator-body-kit.html
    Available around 10/5/16
    All the parts are made including slug bodies so the project wont take long. I just put a 3 week dead line on the bodies to give people a chance to buy one.
    I don't know how many I'm going to make so you should probably not wait until they are completed to make your purchase.

    Luke, I'm gaining interest in this since you have a few left. I would have to start from scratch, new valve and asa so its going to rack up quite a bill. Is there somewhere I can read up on how this works? The T-Rex, the Lpr, how the sidekick works with all that...

    T-Rex is a pneumatic firing assist, it incorporates a firing ram and pneumatic switch in one small package.
    LPR is simply that. The T-Rex runs on low pressure, approximately 30-60 psi but handles the same pressure as you AGD valve. The lp airline is ran internally so really you cant tell its a LPR. Can be adjusted as easily as the AGD valve without disassembly.
    The Sidekick (for me) is the ultimate setup. It positions the tank and regulator so that it does not interfere with shouldering and firing your marker. It's the most comfortable and natural setup I've ever used.

    I bought one from you recently, I quite like it myself I found a 72 ci works great with my frame.

    So air goes into the foregrip, picks up your LPR, then there is a tee somewhere in the foregrip and they leaves through the tapping on the right side to serve the valve?
    Should I get the whole kit, would you need to assemble? Or with the latest generation it can go to anno, and then re assemble myself?
