Breach

Sureeeeee there was. We believe you. Honest, we do. ;)

Psstt.. Ram.. I think you are talking to yourself! :P

Congrats man.. Glad my nomination helped.. muhaha ;)

Don’t forget us little people! :)

Would springs and coils from Eikon or Pulse work on these machines? I read that the Hildbrandt machines were not compatible with standard parts from higher brand equipment. I was just not sure if this was true or more of the elitist crap you read everywhere.

If I need new springs, I might as well but a Pulse or Eikon spring set.

Since the machines came in today, and I read this post, I grabbed the calipers and did some measurements.. Oddly, the specs on the springs for the .44 Magnum was exact, but the springs on the .38 and .444 did not match the specs listed on the Hildbrandt website…

Off to a bumpy start.. Ordered on 4/10/13 at 1:50pm PST. Didn’t receive a tracking number (not in my spam folder either). Emailed a couple times with no response on 4/11/13 (in the afternoon and late evening). Called a few times today, got the answering machine. Finally left a message (42 hours after ordering) stating that I didn’t get a tracking…[Read more]

It really seemed to be the best ‘Bang for the Buck’ deal I could find anywhere.

I really don’t mind dropping a grand on a few high end guns if this turns out to be something I like. Right now, I just wanted something with decent quality to get to know the machines, practice with (on…[Read more]
