Dr Bob Vendetta PP Block

[JLB]

A fool and his money perhaps ? Dr Bob should have just refunded everyone and kept some of his reputation intact, instead he presses on with the MK2 version and people still kept feeding him money Good luck to all those who didn't get what they were expecting.

It's a real shame it went this badly. However, I often asked myself if I'd invest in such a project and thinking about it, none of it made financial sense. The potential market for a good product is extremely limited in that...
1. Only Rapid fans would buy one, and maybe not.
2. You then need the ancillary parts plus a stock.
3. You need to be technically adept to build it up into a working rifle.

Sales projections would be low enough to scare off any real investors and perhaps that's the way the engineering production company were thinking when they cocked up.

that's the whole idea with pre-production to establish what the issues are and resolve them for the production version, which was going to be a direct swap pp for production

Personally am looking forward to getting my block from Dr Bob

Totally agree with you ref the PP blocks, hence why the 2nd part of the review will cover the production block (mine needed similar work to above in addition to their issues)

I didn't get one, so there may be details that I'm unaware of,
BUT
as long as it was clear to all, that this was a prototype with untested changes they were buying in to, then I'm afraid it's a chance you take & I don't see that he should have refunded the buyers.
As for errors with threading/machining where does the fault lie ? the CAD drawing, the conversion to CNC file, or something else entirely ?

Is/was the mk2 Vendetta a sorted design ?

Well as far as I am aware the mk2 is and all things being equal I should receive mine built up in the next couple of weeks

As stated above the mk2 vendetta block is suffering some of the same issues and other issues as above..... I also have a mk2 as well as the PP block. Hopefully this week will put a review together
