Just curious if there is other Bulldog activity that I am not aware of.Edit: Nevermind, I realize you meant Matt, who indeed made the first ones by hand and very fast after the issue was documented here and confirmed by others. I had mine within a week!Actually I called Matt at Pitbull on January 2 and asked him if he was reading this thread and what would he think of making a stronger handle for his Pitbulls because there was a need.Simultaneously, Travis also saw a need and filled it. This was QUICK WORK from both! Capitalism in action! Competition creates better products!(But but before that I had ShakySarge make me one of his hand made ones to use to give credit there)And now we will see which stands up... the steel one or the aluminum MkII one!Firstly, no one "had" me make anything. As a bulldog owner I recognized the necessity for a stronger lever and came up with the solution myself. Sadly, I made the mistake of sharing that information in the thread, which will not happen again. Spent hours upon hours figuring out what to use and then did so. Secondly, if my mind doesn't phase me, I sent most of them out for free save yours that went out in exchange for some cast slugs, which, I am not going to turn down when offered. Lastly, both aftermarket levers came solely from my hand made levers and to charge 50 a piece is more than absurd especially when using mills instead of doing the work by hand. At the most, I charged 20 bucks shipped. Guess we know who takes advantage of folks and who doesn't don't we?Anyways, I am already addressing other issues and resolutions with the levers to allow further seating of cast slugs with an oversized port. You can rest assured this information will not be revealed in any thread again.

Peek won’t seal but the gen 2 version is much stronger for those wanting to use 4000 plus psi.
I am actually wondering why Travis doesn't get PEEK to seal, as I see lots of posts where people are making poppets from PEEK. Is it the shape of the Bulldog seat or what?
Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.
