Dlask (RRA 10 round couplers)

[diggler]

Ok, Dlask did not originally make these. Someone else is the brain child behind this. This same person did approach Dlask. And now they are being produced by them.

Buy them, don't buy them . Boils down to supply and demand in the end.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and to voice it. Isn't that the purpose of this forum? You're whining about whiners, I hope you see the double standard. Or are people only allowed to post as long as they agree with you?

They are entitled to an opinion, and so am I and I expressed mine.. I fail to see why we have several threads on things and the same people complain about the cost of things..

 

[bear.23]

actually, i have been in manufactoring, all my life, i was raised into it, and so have the past generations of my family, and im very passionate about it. Do i have insight on this particular product, no, i do not know what was involved in making this product. i do however understand in whats involved in designing a product, testing, R&D, and manufactoring it, and it would be a waste for dlask to do all this, and not sell as many as they could.

Im not dictating anything, im simply a nobody, just a guy who likes this sport/hobby, and one of the guys who would buy one if the cost was lower, its just that simple. The cost turns me right off, i dont care if they cost more to make than they are selling them for. if the price never comes down ,then thats fine with me, theres lots of things for me to spend my money on out there, no skin off my back. however this is a small gun enthusiast forum, in a country thats very hard to get most things firearms related. from someone who supports this hobby/sport i would like to see everyone and every business succeed, though some from time to time either dont supply service or product thats significant and need to be called on it, and i believe this is a great product just priced a little too high, for mine, and quite a few peoples likings on this forum. I would very much like to see dlask succeed in selling this product.

The only person who knows what it really costs to make this, is the manufactorer, and dlask knows exactly what they can sell the product at their lowest dollar, and at thier highest dollar and still make a profit. I as a manufactorer like to hear feedback and if I could sell X amount more if the price was lower on B product, then I would either figure out a way to get the cost down, or "get off the pot" but by the looks of it, they have already put a lot of time and money into development and it would be a shame to just not sell any.


remember, things only cost what someone is willing to pay.

Actually things cost what they cost,, they only sell when someone is willing to pay the asking/negotiated price... Any manufacturer worth his salt should know that and the cost/price/volume issues...

They are selling them despite the constant cries of they are too expensive so I believe your arguement is moot..

The idea is not new, the execution is. I am more interested in seeing how these things affect Tac. Rifle/ gun game stage design...it would seem to me that they remove many of the objections gun games have had placed upon them. Between these and the Norinco M4 I would imagine attendance would go up. Now if we can find a decent priced non-restricted...shooting in the bush would be fun again...

I love that line.

... In any case.... I have two of these and will report on how well they work. Initial fit and finish were good although I will wait to load the mags to make sure that they in no way interfere with the 10 round capacity of the RRA mags.

They have the same dimensions as the 30/5 round mag but far more functional (will post picture soon).

As far as cost I dont complain much about that. Worth the $49.99 plus tax ... future ones will be cheaper, but as a CGN'er Ive learned to "buy the gear you want, when you want it" Its never cheap in Canada, but I know that I wont be crying like a baby on the internet over the cost etc. blah blah blah blah Yup argueing here is a waste of time - maybe save that for the political section of this forum.

In the meantime .. I"ll post a range report when I try these babys' out ....

I'm a tool and die maker and machinist so I know it's not cheap to manufacture a quality product. from design, to prototype, to production. the initial cost is expensive so sellers want to recoup thier money first. maybe afterwards when they can start making a profit, prices might drop

if you knew what goes into manufacturing, machining, mould making.....it's painfully slow until you get set up to do one thing. also the cost to run the machinery and tools. the only way to cut the cost is by mass production

anyways what I'm trying to say is, they are canadian made and top quality. I rather support canadian workers than buy made in china. sure the chinese made product is cheaper but the quality is just not there.

I know Joe Dlask. all his products are top quality and I support him

What sort of arm contortions do you have to go through to do a mag change/exchange?

I wonder if a straight adapter with the bullets pointing in opposite directions might not work better.

 

[Shazam]

The over all dimensions replicate that of a 30 round magazine (and they will fit into a standard mag pouch).. picture to follow as soon as I get it off of my phone

Awesome, late to the party with the bright idea, wicked.

Aren't you going to say this is an illegal magazine because you know what the law says?

Troll.

 

[Throttle_monkey1]

I think they're a great idea, not 50$ great though. Maybe 10-15$. But I just won't buy any at that price.

 

[edon]

The other thing you need to remember is that there is a very limited market for these things, basically only us here in Canada (you think some guy in the US is going to clip two 30 rounders together end to end???). Would we actually buy enough of them to make it worth while for someone to produce them in the quantities necessary to get them down to the $10-15 suggested price? Not that likely. It would be interesting to know how many of the 10 rnd mags were even sold in Canada. Aren't we used to costly accessories yet? Pretty much everything firearms related here in Canada is expensive due to us being a small market.

I'm guessing that if the guys here complaining about the price were 100% truthful, they, like me, realize that these are pretty much useless to them 'cause we can't even afford to buy the ammo to shoot our guns single shot let alone dumping 20 rounds downrange as fast as possible! lol

I thought your name was Stevo, not Troll. Any way, nice to hear from you Troll. Glad you liked my post about inquiring about magazines and such. I hope others are gaining as much information as I am from the helpful folks at CGN. It is great that guys like Mark at Questar took the initiative and got these LAR mags made; they are all I use. I just bought some nice CProducts floor plates from him. I liked your post Troll, if I may call you by your first name, about your idea that perhaps the mags should have been orientated differently for easier usage in competition. I can see where you are coming from, but for casual shooting they will probably be fine. It was kind of a kick in the nuts to the poor Dlask guys considering all the efforts put into this one. However, with all the positive feedback they are getting, like your post Troll, and the others about cost, perhaps Dlask may offer these as well once their run of these parts is sold out.

Actually things are only worth what someone is willing to pay.

I would buy my Aston Martin sooner if the cost was lower. Instead of complaining about the price though, I sent money aside every month for it.


I was once told by a vet who is also a great businessman:

"If someone doesn't complain about your prices a few times a month, they are to low."

Question: Why not make it a 4 way coupler?

 

[redbirddog]

hey look the price has been corrected!

I think the updated price is right on the mark.

not to high and resonable so the workn man can afford.

 

[Tuco Pike]

Question: Why not make it a 4 way coupler?

I read somewhere that a 4 way is in the works, I guess they wanted to see how the demand was for the current one. The guy who designed the item for Dlask has a post on here somewhere where he talks about the 4 way one being next.
