Matt.Cross Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Posted June 13, 2014 As much as I shop online for goodies, I must say, I don't see lots of keymod stuff, and I gotta wonder if something like this will stop the standard from being widely adopted. That's a very good point, completely valid. I guess that's the price I'll be paying to try to push leading-edge design and technology onto what is still a fairly narrow market, I'm hoping the fact that I'm not just copycatting a bunch of stuff that's already grown tired in the aftermarket components market will play well with my customer base. I mean, Tom has already found a Geisselle rail that's very much emulating my own idea. GEISELLE, no less... The "Celtic Cross" pattern has a lot of traction in the market, but I feel I'm well positioned to threaten the difficulties that design throws into the equation.
blue109 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 PM sent about investing my life savings in your endeavor. I really think you are on to something here.
shibiwan Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 I could manufacture this en-masse if you licence the design to me!!!
StainTrain Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 I could manufacture this en-masse if you licence the design to me!!! Yes, but he would have to reveal the blended metal ratios with you and the patent is still pending.
Microgunner Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 OK, so now I'm intrigued. Seriously, how much for one?
washguy Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 ill take 3 of em.....you need a deposit? :) Wash
shepp Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 ill take 3 of em.....you need a deposit? :) Wash Well if wash wants 3 I'll take 4 no matter the cost
unforgiven Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 Nothing needs to fit cause it's perfect just the way it is. :))
98Z5V Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 Talked to Matt extensively on the phone tonight - we can make a RRA version. One of you RRA bastards just needs to remove a handguard and send it. There's nothing that can't be solved here. Once we solve it... We don't have to listen to any more RRA crying again... <lmao>
MaDuce Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 Spray paint it black with color palace flat paint and oven bake it at 300f for 3 hours. Then it'll look professionally done.
DNP Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 Hmmm. Anyone make a key mod gun rack yet? You could just hang these bastards on a peg on the wall.
unforgiven Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 ^^^ That's something Damien would do... He would also add another 30lbs. Just sayin.
Matt.Cross Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Posted June 14, 2014 I'm thrilled to see this much interest in the product! With regard to those looking to invest, you probably know very well that startups aren't inexpensive to get up and going, so PM me about that, I've got some good profit-sharing options that I think you'll like a lot. I don't yet have a time frame for mass production of these just yet. The parts and assembly are incredibly complex and I'm trying to find a way to simplify and expedite machining and assembly processes in order to widen the margins on these enough to make it both worthwhile and competitively priced.
planeflyer21 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 If that ticket won last night, I can get you through the first 7-digits of engineering and prototyping. Should cover two prototypes I think.
Microgunner Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 I don't think I'm quite up to investing but I'm definately up to buying a couple. I hope your financing comes through so you can make this a reality.
planeflyer21 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 I hope the DIY is affordable, seriously. ARs were originally engineered to be manufactured to save costs. It has to be some sort of conspiracy that they are so expensive now!
