They're taking a head count to come up with a total quantity for the order.
So, if you ever wanted new 16 ga paper cases, 2 3/4", unprimed, make yourself known or forever hold your piece.

Thanks for the heads up. The wife will never notice another 1000 hulls  . |

Apparantly, Mike Graf knows a good idea when he sees one.

They're not in stock and are about 50% higher in price than our bulk order.

They are well past 50,000 and counting!  Think about how many would be sold if they were a one piece plastic hull

Here's the latest:
I ran into this post and thought that I would give you all a heads up that we are going to be carrying this hull in stock and are expecting delivery from France this coming summer of 2007. You may place orders for the hulls on our website.
Here is the link to our web site where this item may be placed on a backorder status for summer 2007 delivery.

Sad to say, it's starting to look like this bulk purchase deal is going to fall apart.
Several of the interested folks on DGBBS are starting to moan louder than debutantes with dysentery.
We'll see, but right now, I'll give odds that it never happens.

I called Mike early this spring about the 16ga paper hulls I heard that some might be in production. He told me that was probably not going to be no run. I also told him I read that maybe they would be around .10 to .12 ea. He said if there was going to be any they would be more than that.
I give it no more thought cause I did not expect any runs was going to be made. Now I see on the advertisment that Graf's were taking orders at .17 ea. ( Business first. )
I would have been willing to go for 2000 at.15ea which is steep but I think I.ll pass at getting speared in the end. |
