Production Update - We are in production!

Posted by Brad Hellyar on

Keeping in constant contact with the manufacturer this week in regards to the receiving the raw materials, Thursday they let me know they got the materials in and would be ‘shooting’ our mold on Friday. This is great news!

To avoid any more delays Friday afternoon I headed to the manufacturers shop to give the final approval on the parts as they came off the machine and give the go ahead to start the first production run! What this means is come Monday afternoon I should have enough parts to fulfill all preorders! 

What this doesn’t mean is you will be getting your order on Monday...I need time to assemble the parts. I have the hinges cut and the ‘magnet polarity alignment tool’ made and tested (pictured).

So as this week comes and goes we will have more details on how many we assembled each day and when you should expect your order to ship. So stay tuned and check you order status on our site to verify you have the correct shipping address entered.

But the main take away is that we are assembling and shipping our first units within days!!!

Production Updates - 6/11/18

Posted by Brad Hellyar on

No new updates since last week. We have been in contact with the manufacturer and are still waiting raw materials. We have put in shop time to get all we can get  done before the first production run but are at the mercy of the supplier and manufacture. 

We have been to a few local gun shows this last week showing the latest production sample with great feedback and most visitors giving praise to the design and features. This is good for those that haven't seen it in hand as it shows the production version is a quality part that people are willing to purchases. 

On a legal side we still have the patent pending, but we also submitted the Trademark for 'Mag Feeder'. While not experts on the legal side off this we felt it will protect the name from being poached in the future.

Thank you again! Can't say it enough for your support and patience in this process!

Production Update - 6/1/18

Posted by Brad Hellyar on

End of week update. We fine running the magnet choices, apparently not all neodymium magnets are created equal, we have enough on hand for the initial orders but since we have time to get the strong(er) magnets to keep the "Spoon", or pusher block, in the tray we may as well make this the best magazine loader ever!

As far as timeline the manufacturer is still on track to receive the raw materials this month and run the first production run. We are currently designing and printing shop tools, brackets, etc to make assembly more efficient. We are also finalizing the retail packaging design and partnering with several companies to offer exclusive discounts on ammo, targets, and other shooting and EDC gear to be included in all our preorders.

The next two weeks we will be attending the local guns shows to further get our product and name out there and show the community the production samples we have and how close we are to launch.

Production Update - 5/25/18

Posted by Brad Hellyar on

End of week update, just met with the manufacture to discuss the last small changes needed to run the first production run and we were met with some bad new as far as timeline.

After sending in the purchase order for the initial production run I was given a soft June 1st for a first production run. Today the manufacture has hit a delay in getting the raw materials as we changed from using a standard polymer to a glass filled polymer and the supplier has a 4 week delay on the material we need. So the first production run has been pushed to June 21st, with a hope to find the raw materials from an alternate supplier that can meet our needs.

More Updates to come as we look for a new materials supplier and as the launch gets closer. Thank you for your patients to this point and your support. We are getting close and this is in our hopes the last delay we will have.
