Armed Eye Doc Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 That sucks. Looks like it was a good camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Shib, you shouldn't try to lock the bolt carrier to the rear so hard... I'm just sayin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Canon EOS 5D. Trusty, old, reliable. Probably not worth fixing since the actual LCD is cracked. Probably able to find a used one for under $500 (this was a $2500 camera back in the day). At least it still works. Shib, you shouldn't try to lock the bolt carrier to the rear so hard... I'm just sayin'... It wasn't the bolt carrier. It was the hammer on the Sig when I slung the camera on my shoulder.

imschur Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 thats sucks indeed. Now I know why my Nikon came factory fitted with a big hunk of plastic over the screen. Does Canon offer a flat fee rebuild, refurb sorta thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Canon offer a flat fee rebuild, refurb sorta thing? From what I hear the price of the "glass replacement" is already $200. Add the LCD and it's $200 more (quoted by a local repair place). Being my EDC camera for a long time, it severely needs cleaning (mirror box is dusty as hell) so that will add up more $. Picked up a replacement off ebay - $429. :D I don't see the point of upgrading to a newer one. The trusty old MK1 5D is more than enough for my needs.

gnatshooter Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 oooh... just had a thought. A limited run billet lower with the 308ar.com logo. :D So here I thought one .308 would be enough, and now you tempt me... You'll want some media behind this product release, which means a minimum price for a limited edition of lowers at somewhere around, say, $600 per. But of course we'd get a group buy discount, right?

Well like I said, we'd get a discount, the $600 would be for the collectors out there. Just imagine having a safe queen with the logo for this place... the envious stares at the shooting range "Dude, nobody has one of them anywhere!" And so on.

edgecrusher Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 No one would buy them at that price, and he can't price himself out of the game with the opening act. And wtf is a Safe queen? I don't believe in that, even the LaRue gets down and dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yeah. Safe queen would only be for extremely rare (or unsafe to fire) rifles in my book. Other than that.....everything gets used......from the MRAD to the cheesy SKS (no offense Bubba <laughs>). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assure that it'll be competitively priced. I'm a cheap ass - and I pass the savings on to you!! Besides, I don't believe in safe queens. (On a related note, just got a contract for semiconductor manufacturing parts - $1200 per unit!) Edited July 4, 2014 by shibiwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
