shibiwan Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 Been working too long today and got klutzy. :eek:
Armed Eye Doc Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 That sucks. Looks like it was a good camera.
98Z5V Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 Shib, you shouldn't try to lock the bolt carrier to the rear so hard... I'm just sayin'...
shibiwan Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report 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. Edited July 3, 2014 by shibiwan

I've been doing concrete in 90' weather this week I'm a lil burnt out too bro. (90' here is unheard of) 6am - 10:45pm at the shop... clearing the manufacturing backlog so I can start running billet lowers! Can't wait!! Edited July 3, 2014 by shibiwan
sketch Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 You are the man put your head down and move forward full speed!! You got a web sight for your stuff yet?
shepp Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 That sucks!!! I got mine insured on a rider off my home owners 3500$ est in equipment cost me 60$ a year and it covers dropage, water damage and theft
imschur Posted July 3, 2014 Report 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?
shibiwan Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) 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? 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. Edited July 3, 2014 by shibiwan
shibiwan Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Posted July 3, 2014 dibs on a AZ made billet lower. oooh... just had a thought. A limited run billet lower with the 308ar.com logo. :D
washguy Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 Shibi.... Hate the bad luck,but at least you found another :) Wash
planeflyer21 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 oooh... just had a thought. A limited run billet lower with the 308ar.com logo. :D Bummer on the camera but SHUTUP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!
edgecrusher Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 oooh... just had a thought. A limited run billet lower with the 308ar.com logo. :D Dammit! I had no more plans.... Hmmm
gnatshooter Posted July 4, 2014 Report 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?
Rsquared Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 ONE 308? Are you kidding? This is the 308 AR place right?
edgecrusher Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 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? 600 per lower? Your insane! No way, not even for Shibi. Good thing you aren't setting his prices.
gnatshooter Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 600 per lower? Your insane! No way, not even for Shibi. Good thing you aren't setting his prices. 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 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.
Rsquared Posted July 4, 2014 Report 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>).
shepp Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 Yea wtf's the point of having toys if you ain't gonna play with them?!
unforgiven Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 ^^^^^^ Exactly right brother.Then put it on the wall and make room in the safe.

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. $600? F*** that. 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
