Black Arts Design barrel band

[rsfrid]

Anyone have or heard of the Black Arts Design 3D printed barrel band for the Wildcat Mk3 ? I ordered one, but the company seems flaky to me. No verification email, their email reroutes to a gmail address. Gmail returns "no such address". Phone call goes to generic voice mail stating no one is there to take call.

I haven't heard of them; where did you find them at?

I have two, and it's a solid design. Easily 5x as robust as any others I've tested. I've been wanting/meaning to do more testing with mine at long ranges, and various "torture" tests, but my work, and newborn among other things has kept me from getting out anywhere I can shoot at much distance.

Roelf from Air Tac Hunting has STL files posted that you can print your own parts.

I bought their little gadget that goes on the end of a Wildcat tube to check your pressure. They’re legit, but a new startup. They might be a bit slow to respond.

Thanks to those who have purchased. It relieves my mind after getting taken by the spammer oft discussed here. I'll just be patient.

Anyone know why all the emails to his email address reroute through gmail and get returned to me? David contacted me with tracking number so we're good. But I'd like to thank him and can't get email through.

RS- have you considered the ones that Stuart makes at smwengineering? His is of a stout material, can be had with or without pic rails. 

Maybe you haven’t heard about him? Here’s the link-

Those barrel bands look really bulky

I have designed me own of my own. As sleek as possible. 19grams weight and strong enough..

It's made on a resinprinter with a 50 micron resolution. After sanding it with k800 for 20 seconds, I've spraypainted it once.

I know this is an old post but wanted to clarify a few points above. Black Arts Design has been in business since 03/2021. They were a start up but are still around and adding products frequently. Working through email set ups was a little quirk but was resolved. The WC barrel band weighs in at 15.5 grams. Inquiries are responded to very quickly by phone and/or e-mail.
