    EXACTLY!! The project concept was designed to involve the entirety of the community. Not just smash it with a hammer and then expect it to be anything worthwhile. MB

    Not that I would consider to be negative, but my involvement was to drive the project for the legitimate advancement of what it is we all enjoy. That's the reason "Vudoo Labs" existed (Vudoo Labs, Inc., dba, Vudoo Gun Works, LLC). What I will call a negative though, is actually my fault. Guys...

    Not by any hard and fast rule because the environment is the largest of all variables when it comes to spitting a light, lead projectile into the atmosphere. And by the way, one lot number of 22LR ammo shoots differently from the next, and so on, which is why it was always about the system...

    Yo Dude, great question and this is a topic I now have no issue speaking to openly. But first, I'll issue an apology (@grauhanen and others) to those that really wanted me to discuss data, and I refused as it was during the "course of battle," so to speak. So, I'll start by saying, the fast...

    Thank you, Larry, very much appreciated. MB

    As stated, a quick update, but I want to be very careful due to the "telephone game" that can and does take on a life of its own. I have formed a parent LLC and have continued to polish the model and plan. I have no definitive answers yet as far as liking or disliking what the numbers say, but I...

    Yep, Tony would be most everyone’s first guess. MB

    I’m actively working on structure, etc., and will be keeping everyone informed. I know I want to, just have to put some pieces together. 👊🏻 MB

    Exactly, volume can be an illusion due to the fact that revenue costs money. If one can't recover costs at lower volumes, it'll be worse at greater volume as the cash can't be turned over quickly enough. There are exceptions to this, but typically, the exceptions are industry specific...

    Ok, I hear you, but let's try it this way. Vudoo doesn't make any of the parts, in-house, that they use to ASSEMBLE a complete, ready-to-go, action Instead, Vudoo pays some number of vendors to make the parts listed on the Bill of Materials (BOM) that make up the total assembly that we're...

    I'm shipping out two small boxes today, but this empties the parts bins. I'm out of Gen 1 parts and all I have left is some prototype Gen 1.2 and Gen 2 stuff that were test parts....nothing I'd want to put in long-term service. I don't have any extra action wrenches. MB

    Yo Dude, I'm actually not selling parts, but instead, offering them up in exchange for an address so I can ship them. I'm going through a long list of PMs today to see what I have for those that have reached out, and if I have it, I'll circle back via PM and get your address. MB

    Yo Dude, not terribly often. I’ve been shooting my oldest one (40X, same spring material) for 15 years without any issues. The extractors are harder than the brass rim, so they wear incredibly slowly. Not too much to worry about. MB

    Absolutely, sorry for the confusion. MPA is a great company, with great products and Phil Cashin is a good Dude and smart business man. I just shot a Vudoo last week that was in one of his new chassis systems and it's on my list to get for one of my next builds. I've been giving away the...

    Your opinion is noted and certainly always welcome, but to the contrary, there's been no hand wringing (a feigned exhibition of distress without a plan of action) or blame casting (assigning fault to someone else). In fact, there's been a non-emotional presentation of facts in response to...

    Sure....Not "cheaper" as in the action is any less quality or doesn't shoot well, but if you compare built rifles on the respective websites. Look at the Apparition on the VGW website and the comparable rifle on the MPA website. The MPA sales price is less. So, Vudoo makes next to nothing on...

    Ok, but think about this for a moment. A marking variance was done with a vendor that makes actions, not with Vudoo, whom has never made actions. So how, again, was Vudoo not a middleman for the action maker? And when is it ever wise to create your own competition, especially since margin for...
