I highly doubt that there will be reg. stock since it's a "made to order" item. If there are some leftovers there might be some in the store I guess, but I highly doubt it. I heard that there are about 100 to be made? Can anyone confirm this?Is this a limited run or will there be regular stock once the pre-orders or filled? I’d love to update my SH v2 to this at some point.

I suppose Lewis will fulfill the pre-orders first then it will be a made to order.Is this a limited run or will there be regular stock once the pre-orders or filled? I’d love to update my SH v2 to this at some point.
...the model mods are well documented but this week I think he’s finally able to put them to bed and get the updates into manufacturing.
For our benefit to verify quality control and visual accuracy (and for the customers benefit to feel fully confident in what they’re getting)… yes we’re making another prototype to sign off on before commencing the full run (of bodies and grenade sections)Thanks for the update! So does a final prototype still need to be made or can production completely commence?

This should be the final (3rd) prototype.
It will come to me and I should be able to take complete photos prior to signing off and releasing the rest of the machining for production.
Considering many opted to pre- order I think this is absolutely necessary to ensure people get the most out of what they’ve paid for (or intend to)
We’re looking pretty good collecting the other bits,
I am *particularly* excited about how crisp the mystery chunk has come out. Looks exactly like the one I hand extracted for the V2 from the first boot set I found!
It’s a slightly taller profile than what’s been offered elsewhere with the correct geometry on the spikes. I believe the height and width profile is a good match with our available V2 reference. It’s carbon steel so it can be darkened. Or painted silver to match zinc plate (or a mix)
The cone sizing is replicated from a pool of cone reference from members on this board, it features a bottom chamfer and a machined ring tell on the bottom so it won’t be confused for vintage- however the threading is the same so it can be swapped directly if you were to find one (or have one).
There is some main body conversations regarding detail that should be wrapping up our machining decisions this weekend, and everything else should be in full swing.
Thanks again for your patience.
Also seen in the photos, the neck reinforcement “slug” bolt, emitter blade plug, emitter spin bearing, pcb insert cup, and carbon steel emitter shaft insert (pre machined for accuracy)
1” standard blade (not heavy)It's looking pretty good! Can't wait for them to be shipped out.
I have a question about the emitter (FX-related): what will the blade diameter be for this hilt? I heard things about an 1" emitter plate and a canon" plate, if my memory was correct.
