da backpacker

[DiMP]

if they had mentioned last week I would have bought one on sale...

They said in THIS THREAD:

Backpackers will be sold out very soon, we will likely have future shipments of outlaws.

Which sounds like no more backpackers. This was said Dec 15th

do you know why they are discontinuing the backpacker? quality issue problem?

Real glad I got one free with a Boxing Day order over $500.00 before they were gone. I tore it apart and gave it a thorough cleaning because it felt gritty in the hinge once clean it is super smooth and will close really easily and smoothly with a light flick of the wrist.
Really very impressed with it over all but can anybody give me feedback on whether the protrusion in side the barrel where the bead sight is attached makes it unsafe to shoot and if safe to shoot should I stick to the 3"specified on the barrel?

They mentioned in the other thread that the cost of production vs the retail price wasn't profitable enough for the factory to continue.

Damnit

Dont be too dissapointed. I'm not super impressed by it but for $99 I would never write an angry letter.
My handguard keeps poping off under recoil. The barrel stays on but friends and family are a bit warry to shoot it when it keep breaking in 2 when I shoot it.
I fixed it by putting heavy rubber padding where the barrel and handguard touch. That keeps it nice and snug.

I did that to mine. It caused rust spots where the pad touched the barrel.

Try tightening the screws on the hand-guard.

Just curious, how does one add an item to a "shopping cart"; do I have to create an account and log in first (at the Armsbargain.com site)?

I couldn't figure it out either so I just sent them an email saying what I wanted and my contact/payment info.
