Anyone have one? I understand Greg is making a batch. Price is a bit steep at something like $85 shipped. I like the ability to use AR-15 grips. But I wonder if his single stage design could be better than the two stage PRod trigger. It's tempting because it's something different and there really are some nice ar-15 grips out there...but does that justify the cost? Cuz on the other hand, for $85 + the cost of the grip, you could have someone make you some pretty nice custom wood for a Crosman frame.
good luck
hope he serves people better this time than he does with all the other ready to ship stuff he sells
I bought a barrel band from him and it shipped in a reasonable amount of time but was missing the solid pin. Contacted him and he said he would ship one out for me that has been over 3 weeks now.
Not worth the hassle. I purchased one sometime back and it took over 3 months plus tracking him down and writing him up on the forums before getting it. Same old story, "it's on it's way", I'll ship another", bla bla bla. Save your money and your patience.

Definitely..
time will tell!!!
It would be cool if HPA Sports did carry them. Joe's a great guy to work with. He's got the customer service thing down. Greg just posted on the green that he would have some available soon. I think for a little more money I'd rather get a BNM breech.

I got one around the same time and went thru much the same hassle. It took close to 8 months for it to materialize.
The trigger/sear is much the same as the 1377 and 2240.
The feature that set it apart for me and made the wait bearable was the ability to use Hogue grips or with an after market adaptor the 1911 grip choice is endless.
that is a nice feature
his reputation is pretty much mud around the forums
hopefully he cleaned up his act
Yeah that's really what was catching my interest...the grip possibilities. Google "Ar-15 grips", select Images and look at all the choices!!

From his site...
" have discontinued every thing I make but the 13XX barrell bands. I will still be offering those for sale. I will be shipping the remaining orders in the next couple of weeks or I will be issuing a refund."Huh? Never even heard of this guy... who-what-where and now, it seems... why? :D
Hee Hee, just ordered two frames via HPA.
I went for self Color so they can be polished up on my SS guns :-*
Joe had the two in stock so there will be no issues on that score for me.

i just checked they dont have them listed now so you might be good to go

Yes I emailed Joe direct at HPA. I guessed he would have a couple if Greg was selling some. No I noticed they aren't listed on the site yet. I took a flyer and asked the question.
I got a reply a few minutes ago then placed my order :)
So I have ordered the 2 he has in hand. They look real good too. Will post a pic tomorrow when back at my PC.
Gary
thats good!
hope you get them soon! cant wait to see what you put them on
Here we go:
They will be going on the Shiny and Boss stainless guns Ed

My bad, Greg has just replied to my query. I am sorted now anyway via Joe but he has replied with a photo for me.
Gary

Yes but to be fair, a lot of these custom suppliers haven't got the best customer service record.
Most of the ones I have dealt with are in the fortunate position of being able to pick and choose who they sell to. They know dam well that they are supplying a niche market and you can like it or lump it. I seem to go with the trend, saying that I do appreciate the parts.
Gary
i suggest you check out the boi
these are not isolated incidents
go to the green classifieds you will see some more unsatisfied customers look at the bluefork thread here
the list goes on and on.even after he said to was going to do better he fell right back into the same way of doing things.how many chances do you expect to be given? i think the ag community has been more than fair
is this product still made? and who do we trust to supply people living outside of the USA?
Yepper, things have improved somewhat since this thread started.
BlueFork parts are available from HPA who ship outside the USA
http://www.hpasports.com/ (http://www.hpasports.com/)
But they are out of stock according to the website.
Drop them a message and ask when they are due in.
Thanks Droid
will do
Wow!
They had some last week.
Only nutcases like myself spend $85 to upgrade a $50 air pistol and call that just a start, sure hope they get some more of those frames

Welcome to the club and the reality of being a Crosman airgun owner. ;)
If you will notice in the title of our forum there are dollar signs there for a reason. :P
