Well, I’ve been thinking it for a while… but now I’m just going to say it…
“I just don’t understand what is driving the high cost of this mechanical rifle?!!”
I know Daystates. I know how they are built. I’ve currently got 3 of them, my Wolverine R HP is in pieces at my feet, gonna put a new regulator in and swap bottle to 580cc. I’ve torn them down to the valve internals a number of times…
… these are simple rifles. They don’t have many parts. One of the best features of Daystates is their slingshot hammer system. The new Blackwolf isn’t even going to use it.
The lowest cost Blackwolf is like $2,500 with a “carbon” (polymer) stock!
These are just straight forward simple rifles with LW barrels. Ultimately, your specific barrel is going to drive the ultimate accuracy you can achieve.
I can understand the high cost of Daystate’s electronic rifles. They are somewhat unique in the marketplace. The Blackwolf is different, it doesn’t seem like it’s got many/any innovative tech… and making a valve stem out of titanium is not my idea of “innovation”.
Maybe I’m missing something….
