I have one that is waiting to be built.
My only issues with it are.
The buttons are metal and not plastic.
The beer tab is not straight.
The Kobolt ring is shiny and cheap looking.
The Clamp Card is silver not gold.
and,my biggest gripe is the glass eye, since its just all metal. Would of loved to have it be hollow(so you can add your own "glass") and use the same design as one of the buttons
(the threaded pin is hollowed)
Though swapping them out for replica parts is still cost effective vs how much Graflexs are going for now.
That being said.
I think every thing else is flawlessly machined. It is made in a way that is more secure and rigid than a real Graflex.
Most people do not like the rotj style grip,but I think it adds something to it , even tho I do not like the 7/8. (TCSS and VV are working on a 1" adapter for this. )
I was pleasantly surprised the level of detail of the clamp and the hole upper portion as well as the easy to install grips. ( I can only imagine what it would be like screwing up the drilling on a real Graflex)
It has its flaws but its easy to fix.
Agree, lots of pieces look cheap, but is somewhat convenient if you are making a FX saber.
