Title: ssp250/1389 loading gates
Post by: ped on June 17, 2020, 02:44:43 PM
a few years back i had some brass loading gates made but wasn't going to have any more made
a good friend on your side of the pond asked for a few so i'm haveing 5 made and if there is demand i'll have more made
until i get them i have no idea on cost and you'll have to get your own insert

I will take at least four.  Thanks.   :D

i'm not sure on cost as yet though

Are the loading gates themselves all the same size, and the inserts are what determine the calibers- or does the loading gate itself determine the caliber?  Did that make sense?  I wouldn't mind getting two of these.   ;D

gates are all the same size and it is the inserts that determine caliber

Hi Mike. I just emailed you about your inserts. If you don't see it, check your spam. AOL often goes there.

Forgot to mention in the email that I'm looking for .177 only.

Dennis  :D

Mike - UPDATE - My AOL send did not go though. I resent it via the email link here in GTA.

Let me know if you get it.

Thanks,

Dennis  :D

Ped - I'll take six of them.

Dennis  :D
Title: Re: ssp250/1389 loading gates
Post by: ped on June 18, 2020, 02:51:26 PM
currently only 3 left unspoken for but once this first batch is made and all is good i'll get another run done Dennis, i will though see if the order can be increased
Mike would it be possible to get a few of each inserts shipped to the UK as i have a few inserts i'm just not sure where they are ,and whilst i can make them from ptfe it's easier use genuine ones
i have in the past have had bits from you but it was a long time ago and i did hear you'd stopped shipping out of the US

If I can get in on those unspoken-for three, that would be sufficient for now. I really don't need six.

Ped,
We corresponded last year on this and you told me none were available.  I am thrilled to hear this news.  I would like two gates please.
Thank You

Post by: ped on June 20, 2020, 11:47:27 AM
i was quite suprised when my mate who makes them agreed to do them as originally he wasn't going to do anymore
looks like i better try to get him to do 20

If the order quantity you propose to him becomes a deal breaker, then I only NEED one.  If it is not a problem then I will buy two for future use.
Thank you

Mike,  two .177 inserts received yesterday.  Thank You, didn't think I would ever see one of those again if the one I have gets lost.

Guys, 
Mike was terrific to do business with.  I did not read directions correctly for using Paypal and stiffed Mike $1 on my $12 order.  I asked how I should make it right and Mike told me not to worry about it.  I inquired into another purchase which I would tack the dollar onto but he did not have any SSP 250 .20 barrels.
I hope that by putting in an especially good word here will make up for mistake until I can make it right.

I'll second Mike's sales performance. I ordered 12 of the .177 inserts I have like 8 of the 1389's, plus the one that my son owns). Great to have these available.

Ray - Did you get the white Delrin(?) inserts or the old amber waxy type? Those old ones deteriorate.

 :D

Awesome news!
For those of us on this side of the pond would it make any sense to get them all shipped to one of us and then reship to save on overseas shipping?


Title: Re: ssp250/1389 loading gates

I would be fine with that but since I am at the back of the line I don't want to hold anyone up either. I haven't heard if the line was cut off in front of me? So there is that too!

I went through the list too, looks like I snuck in just under the wire.  8) ;D

I need payment info. and it is OK with me if mine goes/ships threw superchikn to save on overseas shipping since he offered. When the time comes I will need to know shipping payment info from Ray too. I will pay as soon as I have/see the info because I don't want to hold anyone up by not being timely.  8) 8) 8)  ;D

 :D

I'll third Mike's sales performance. I ordered 10 total of the .177, .20, .22 inserts.  I have 4 of the 1389's, plus the one SSP250. My SSP already has a NICE brass loader and it is great to find these. If there is another batch of the brass loaders in the future and I see it I may get a couple of more to take care of the other two 1389's that won't get one this round. If not a least I will have spare plastic loaders.

got it Dennis i'm away tomorrow for a week fishing so i'll not be able to post till i get back
i'll get another 10 ordered Dan so i have stock and will be able to supply you some more
if all who are happy haveing theirs shipped to Superchikn can let me know and i'll sort that out as postage may be more on that parcel
price will be £17.50 per gate and from what i can tell postage will be around £12 for int signed and tracked but i'll get a better idea when i have parcel weight

Looks good and even though it is not a clone of the plastic original it is the function that is most important. The big unnecessary "handle" on the original design is not good if you put an optic on it and this design would be better in that case.  8)

Again to be clear, I am an OK on the shipping to Superchikn.

Post by: jab on July 23, 2020, 09:20:31 PM
if there any left over  I'd go for one gate and 2 inserts  for  a 22 cal.   I just today  put a 14" barrel in and hog'd out the bung/insert to take  a 22. 

It was  a .177 and is not mine,  still belongs to it's og  owner.   he says he bought it when he was 17 ?    and is now 52.  He broke the plastic loader soon after buying and it sat  until last summer,  we  got another plastic loader and  ebay bung/insert in .177.  of course the 177's where a pita to handle.  I shot it over the green speedometer     it gave a 499 fsp  by shot #5  was down to  450 fsp  and as loud as a rimfire 22
