update okt 31

Made a batch of 6 CE and black/good LE each in September that were sold quickly, and made 4 gun metal style SE’s ( or LE) that are up for grabs.
LE/SE 289,- euro’s shipped , CE at 329,- euro

Three left , I reached out to all who applied via PM, one replied back so if you missed the boat I have tried to follow the line.

Probably the last for now, maybe 2020 I do a little run for the marooned few

Ahoy matey’s and thanks all for letting me get into the high 60’s produced with this mod .

Yes, if there’s anyone interested in LE specs, let me know. There’s so many styles that can be produced .

Works just like a standard plunger !

I thought of mounting the gun to the cab and using a trigger switch. That would terminate a pearl or tortuga shot though

Ofcourse, then its a one piece mod . I need to see if I can fabricate just the barrel piece and bracket at a reasonable price
Will come back on that option

It will hold up wel, its metal and wood. I walked into it full force myself, did more damage to me than itself

Ball goes underneath the barrel, so the escape is fully usable.

Thats the thing that stopped me making it so the ball would actually exit the barrel

Its just like any plunger action, pull back accordingly and release , but I will try and execute all 3 skill shots on video

Hi everyone,

I sent out e-mails and/or pm’s back to hopefully all who enquired for a CE shooter kit.

If I missed anyone, let me know .

Aiming at CE kits first, and filling up what is left of the remaining 14 replica pistols I have been able to aquire at short notice here in Europe with LE orders.

Kit is marked at 300 euro’s as it stands .

I have no idea yet of lead time, and am not asking any money upfront either, in case it takes too long. but this batch will give me a good time indicator for future.

Wish me luck , and thank you to all who have shown support !

update 29/3

Received a batch of pistols this week , and chopped, gutted, filled and milled them to drilling and threaded for the lengthened rods ..

Bigger batch didnt save much time

Hopefully beginning next week I should have the first CE kits out.

And a solution also for just the shooterlane barrel cover .
Solid resin cast , painted , plug and play, 99 euro’s

And a possible LE handle , the ivory one

Thanks again to all who ordered , Geert

Update:

The first CE shooters are underway to their new owners, and setting up parts for more to follow.

I got my hands on some cool pistols that it now looks like are no longer being produced.. Damn!

So for following LE orders, I will fall back on the original models also used for the CE , but in blackbeard black, and weathered brown. Options of gun metal or brass barrel and fittings

Should have those ready for showing in a week or two .

Pricing is 250,- for shooter and inner barrel kit

What I have in the pictures is part spoken for but they are available . The black one with the beads on the handle bottom is gone and so is the ivory handle

If you like one of them let me know, they are gone and them done!

Yes, the barrel is 99,- solo .

Paying it off is wiser than buying this for sure

Any pics installed from this set will be hard , as none have gone out yet...
I will ask for some pics of the 3 proto LE’s that got sold. All black /dark.

Or those buyers might post themselves

Yeah I have had others ask also so a mini run of say 4-5 of these versions are up next.

I will have you and another, leaving 2 available for sale

CE are now only 3 left. I didnt count my own so in total there will be 28 out there in the wild .

I am sending the “creator” of this lovely pinball machine a complimetary shooter handle set #001 when I reach the last one on my little profuction line

Captain “ Bladefury’s” edition has been reproduced 4 more times,all a little different to each other .

All gone to pinsiders who sent me a Pm.

I noticed a few “ I want one” in the thread, but I always feel a little hessitant to reach out and “ beg” for a sale..

I am now truly running towards the last of the donor pistols , so if you want a specific shooter, now’s the time !

Went out UPS monday, some others in the same shipment allready got there yesterday , let me check the tracking

Yep, you certainly did!

I removed the decal and bubble level to make it all more clean looking, but then again I also chopped off the metal rail hanging over it so I might just be a little too overboard in some ways

Starting to get really close to the 50 I initially planned to make ..

Only one CE from this latest batch left, and all of the “bladefury’s” are sold with some “pending” payment.

I have a few donor pistols and parts left that I will make into potc one off collector items to display as art here in my atelier, and a few for warranty or “last chance” orders.

After that Im leaving port to head out for open summer seas again , plunder new parts, ideas etc..

If I run more it’ll be end aug/sept, but sometimes enough is enough,

Thanks everybody who had faith in this , and bought one ( and some who did two of them)

Chrs, Geert

Last LE and CE kits from the last batch are being shipped today.

I have had a number of pinsiders approach me to ask for another run of the “ bladefury”

To make it so I will need to source some more compatible pistols . I will make 10

The price is 289,- shipped, and I have multiple versions, ie scrolls, thin, fat squid EIT logo etc. so if anyone wants one let me know and when I hit the 10 I will start up again for an August run

Thanks all agsin, who allready bought a kit !

Lol, “ Catp blafury” is a less succesfull pirate roaming the Chinese seas, distant relative but not the sharpest tool in the shed..

Got it , noted !

Thanks

Yep, thats a design trade of for this rod. The added weight compared to the standard shooter definitely decreases the acceleration of the gun.

It functions and shoots less powerfull because of this. A drop of lube on the shaft works wonders.The standard fitment internal blue spring is the weakest, if you want the old strength adding a stronger one ( orange/medium ) one will help, this is all personal preference ofcourse.
I dont suggest the strongest, it’ll whis round at full plunge but it just doesnt feel right when plunging for the pearl or tortuga.

Excellent! I included orange springs in the first 20 or so pistols but I depleted all stock here in nl. Only other option was “ super power strength” but that really shot the shooter towards the cab at lightspeed , plus most seem content with adjusting/experimenting with their own springs .

I sent back a PM , but , Yes the inner barrel is included with the shooter

I made the latest batch of 6 end August for all who showed interest.

Out of the 6 only 2 were actually purchased, so after a week of silence , there are 4 kits up for grabs!

Handle plus inner shooter barrel. 289,- euro’s shipped to the US.

Thanks all, Geert

Good call on that screw from underneath. It was something I considered but havent seen my barrel come loose , but I did remove the decal underneath to improve the sticking power!

The shooter should NEVER come in contact with the cabinet itself. I test all of them for clearance on the housing assy before shipping but I had one CE early on in the run that had a shorter rod barrel on the housing itself , so needed an extra outer ring .
The outer spring should take up all of the force to decelerate. You’ll know with the first plunge if its whacking something, and the ball wont make it up the ramp either

Will send you a Pm Craig to see how to fix this

I had no idea this setting is available . Good thinking

George, you and made over 70 pm’s over the pistol, over weights, over springs , over how this, how that.. I answered everything , and in the end you wasted my time by never getting back .

I bit my tongue for a while , but to now go and ridicule others who actually commited and bought one, is a bridge too far for me.

Leave it alone, please. Owners can choose however they want to treat their possesions, pull, stroke, jab, or just admire , its all good !

You still want one?

Apologies George, I went a little overboard on this .. you are correct it was indeed 46 messages

Last chance of the year to grab a shooter..

Special edition, only 4 gun metal design and fittings, added sparkle in the matte clear coat .

Spring 2020 I will step up and make some if interest is still there.

All sold out for 2019 as of today , but send a message for another run sometime next year .

Hello all, I recently ran another run of 10 pistol shooter kits, which were all shipped out to pinsiders who sent me a pm. I was 2 short, so another run in the making that will be done next week ish

I will reach out to people interested in this thread , @hesdwires Jstripe11 , CE or LE, so I know what models to make .

So 8 available .

Geert

I won’t forget you Rick, still aiming for next week to get things rolling !

Allright , I have 14 interested through pm or thread reply, and only 10 pistols ready to either decorate in 12 LE or 2 requested CE styles, and then actually get them paid for and sent out.

Usually 20% drop out or quit communicating just before that point so I hope I get this right and everyone gets what they want from this batch

Game on

Shooters done , Inner barrel assy’s following close by , a day away .

I will be reaching out to all who sent me a message in order, ask what trim they want until either is depleted , and see how things go.

4 brass, 5 gun metal and a CE ( or 2)

Thanks again everyone !

Hi all,

Im not super active on pins or pinside anymore , but I have had a serious enough amount of inquiry’s about new shooters .

If I go ahead , it’ll be summer before I can start a new batch .

Fingers crossed . Will reach out to all in due time

There’s been quite some interest lately , so I’m actively sourcing parts to do a mini run .

I will inform everyone inboedel of application as soon as things get going.

Please don’t expect immediate results . End july earliest

No problem . I wouldn’t mind trying that actually , nice to get new vibes on a project

Etien, and others , when I have sufficient parts , I will make a final calculation , as everything from parts to postage has increased , and inform here .

Then I work down the list in order of application , history has shown about 30/40 % buyers lose interest so it’s hard to say who will be in and out

Yeah sorry about the lack of communication

it’s been a little bit bumpy on production , I just can’t get time free’d up to spend considerable time on these without stepping out from my regular work projects that also eat time .

Will get there at some point , looks like EU is going into lockdown soon so that could free up time when people stop throwing money at motorsport ..
