Lasar taking deposits on no-back spring kits

[FlyingScot]

FYI - Lasar is now taking deposits on no-back spring kits. They are currently quoting a 32 week lead-time, the clock for which starts after they receive 45 deposits.

ETA:  What I just asked makes zero sense, since LASAR is a MSC.  Just ignore me

Can we order these directly, or they have to be ordered by an MSC?

Unless something has changed, LASAR is an MSC.

Yeah, I tried to self-correct before suffering the indignity of a reply

Man, you were fast -- 2 seconds after I pulled the trigger, I corrected by spelling.

They sure are proud of their stuff.

LASAR needs them if they are going to maintain their actuator overhaul capability. Maybe they are having to front a big setup charge. Or, maybe they are just marking them up a lot because they may be the only source. Or, maybe the factory will get a bunch from the order and other MSCs will be able to order with better prices. And, is the deposit refundable if the delivery slips by a lot? A lot of questions to answer before plunking down that much money.

BWA HA HA HA HA!!!  They've got some moxie to call this 'deal' good news!

In what world does a SINGLE piece of formed and tempered wire, in a lot size of 45, represent $115,875??? (And, that's at the 'bargain' introductory price!)

Sorry there is just NO way I can believe an implied set-up charge that expensive can be justified for such a simple part.  This is a 'bend over and take it' because we can price!

Glad I've got the Duke's actuator....can't wait to see LASER's price for the gears

Now I feel like I’m getting a screaming deal on my intake duct for only $600
