Ahhh not looking to start anything here buddy but if he has your product and is to busy to list it its not gonna sell very well thats just a guess here on my part. I was @ that show today and Did not see any of your product anywhere. i think it would be in your best intrest to light a fire under his ass and have the stuff listed I would also tell you not a lot of people even know he exists out side this thread I belong to most of the gun boards and believe only 1919a4 knows of him. I would be sure to advise the other boards of your product and its location if he listed it but i will refrain as they would bite my head off when they went to the site and found nothing listed get my point. just a thought

C'mon,Rocco-dont be shy-tell us how you really feel!. Really,that is a good point,I had trouble with the web site having nothing on it,also.By the way,look on the site for Pirates tutorial for the 42/53.It is really good,lots of info,esp if you add the other stickies. ---bil

Bil in all honesty when I visit a Gun/Parts Site and they have as little listed in the way of product as this company I disregard it as not a major player in the parts game thats just me but i'm sure that i am not the only one who clicked on this site and said oh well nothing here by! not a very good marketing strategy make em call & beg for it or let me see do you have any XT? no O.K do you have any TX? no that could get old real fast + The long distance phone call bill to ask him what he does or dont have in stock. seems pretty silly to me just list what you got and stop selling the mystery box behind door # 3 (I'll get off my soap box now.)

Wise lite Guy sorry I just want a Receiver already I'm down to workin on my Suomi kits now only have a 1919 to bang together with a friend then what Cold Turkey I tell ya!

Rocco-I know what you mean! Have you guys thought of doing a re-weld of a german gun-42? I know it is more work and more $$$,but if you dont find a receiver soon,I'm gonna start worrying about you!

So:fire two clips and call in the morning. ---bil

APEX was set up out in the tents at the Phoenix show.
I help out at their warehouse quite a bit. More stuff than you can imagine in that place. I ought to know as I have assisted receiving truck loads of goods. I have spent many hours sorting, grading and organizing parts and part sets. I know I will be up there again in a week or two when the next shipment arrives. I am sure my back will be wrecked the next day!
The owner is pretty responsive to E-Mail and phone calls (when he is at the shop).
You would be suprised just how well known the shop is to folks who buy specialty parts and bunches of parts sets.
They stay busy and ship to lots of customers every day!

Yes but if your looking for something specific like the Wise lite Parts and there not listed then what? How many People out there call or e-mail company's that dont advertize products not me if i hit a site and theres nothing there listed I move on this is the crazyest way I have ever heard of doin business. You work with or for them so this is o.k for you see what they have. But you would be hard pressed to find any one that would think this is a good buisiness practice "Mystery Sales" Like I said before lets see whats behind curtain #3 It seems he's the Montee Hall of Gun parts Sales.

P.S. Wise Lite Guy I'm sure you see my point If your stuffs not listed your not makin money...........

Water? Whats that? this is the desert ever see an old western all we drink out here is Whisky

I have to go with Rocco on this one. If a site shows 98% of what I want I may call them to ask if they have the other 2%. If they show nothing I assume they have nothing. Learned that from Wall of China Mart.

I gotta go with Rocco too....if it's not on the web site, they must not want to sell them very bad...at least that's the message I'm getting.

Good news for all you folks who have been patiently waiting for Armory Parts Exchange (APEX gun parts) to get the Wise Lite Arms products posted.

I called the owner (who was slogging through the heavy Colorado snows on the drive back from Phoenix). He allowed me to post the WLA products under their own category and they can also be found under "Machine Gun Parts".

What's the status on those rachet plates with the groove cut in them? Are they available yet?

So is that $149 per side since it's listed twice?

Post by **true.believer** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 6:10 pm

The listing for the camming stamped section states that it is for the Yugo M53--does anybody know if that means it will only fit up with a Yugo-made barrel shroud and/or rear receiver, or will it also mate with the German-made parts as well?

Post by **Bil** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 6:28 pm

This should mate up to either part.The originals are the same,I am not saying that the new one is made to the exact measurement,nor am I saying it isnt,dont know.But the original are the same.The reason for the caveat is that I have an older repro rear receiver that will not match up without some work. ---bil

Boss 429-look at the pictures again,there are 2 pics of each in case you are building 2 guns at once!

It is good to see them posted at last,now we need to ask every day if the full receiver is out yet-are we there yet,are we there yet..... ---bil

Currently we don't have enough on hand to be able to meet the demands of the primary customer and our retailers.
As soon as the situation changes and our retailers receive their orders you will see them listed.
