Hi there,

I know that I have a few customers that have been waiting for me to do the Mangalore grenade for almost a year I think. I am sorry for this as I have been so busy this past year and I couldn't make it happen yet.

And this is going to be a bit weird, but I want to reassure those patient customers that this will be happening and that, to ensure those will be the best grenades possible, they will also be based on those production made grenades I finally received :)

so, based on the real parts as well as those production parts, the machined parts will be 100% to the originals :)

I might be open to offer casts of the original grenades along the way as well if there is a demand for it, but this will have to be negotiated with my wife as well as she is the one doing the casts, not me.

I am opening that early WIP there for the sole purpose or letting you guys this will still be happening and to not give up on me in the meantime. Thank you for your patience, i swear i'll be making great grenades for you guys!

I still don't think I'll have the time by the end of the year as I still need to finish other things. But now that I have the production grenades, i'll do my best to finaly prioritize this early next year!

For the record, the original turn dials are very hard to find now so I can't do a big run of those. But there will be 3 or 4 finished grenades available for my customers that have already spoken as I have a limited supply of vintage turn dials, then I can do kits for people that will want them. All this will be seen in due time :)

there you go, sorry, I am aware this is a bit weird as I will leave this aside for a while again. But this will become a WIP thread as soon as I have the time to work on it :)

cheers all!
 
Matthieu!! Man, you even managed to get some RS 509-973 dials. That is awesome. I still have some Maglite grips, i did a 3D printed grenade some years ago - count me in if you will make this happen!!
