my_plague_666 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 dont think dobey is even active any more. there was a lot of controversy regarding shoddy workmanship, poor communication and not completing commissioned projects. Link to post Share on other sites
mattmanic Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Is he the guy who did the bullpup rifle for someone which fell apart? Link to post Share on other sites
Docv400 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Ferrarilove1 Those of us who have been here for slightly more than the 5 or so weeks that you have, know that this will be finished, and sooner rather than later . Be patient, it will be worth the short wait, I guarantee. Damn. Looks like I was very wrong If I had a bigger lathe, I wouldn't mind doing something similar... Link to post Share on other sites
Phil_Ger Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Damn, this was such a nice idea. I wish i had the know how Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Is he the guy who did the bullpup rifle for someone which fell apart? yeah and the WA2000 that he never finished. shame, he showed some real skill and promise Link to post Share on other sites
Neko Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 He did finish the WA2000. It's in my local shop. And he is still active. Link to post Share on other sites
BFOUR Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 He built the Bulpup for me and it was held together by pure friction, once the screws and loosened the thing would fall apart. Ridiculous work. For the almost $1100 of my Iraq deployment money I gave him I got maybe $100 back in pure aluminum dookie. After It fell apart I did my own mods to it and got it working fine, but before that I requested dobey to send me the original M40 stock for the rifle at my own cost. He said he would get a quote and send it out and then he kept changing the subject every time we talked. Then he disappeared. Link to post Share on other sites

Username_Here Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Now is that Co2 one or the GBB pistol one? Because the Co2 one was the one I trade my VFC M82 for to build. That build was canceled here on the forums when I got my M82 back. Link to post Share on other sites

Ledpocket Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Lifted these from my local boards... Dobey (as far as I know) is busy running an airsoft field. I am not sure if he is doing custom machining anymore. From my experience, it is easy to get wrapped up in other people's projects, and to try to be a "hero" and build whatever they are asking for. Even if it means your own little projects have sit idle. Might be why he doesn't swing by Arnies anymore. The sheer volume of requests for thread adapters and airsoft gunships can be a bit much. Kind of kept me from posting for a while. Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hey led, can you machine me a Huey gunship with a 14mm negative thread adapter so I can mount it on the shell ejecting GBB OCSW I'm going to ask you to build out of an 1979 pinto carburetor? On a more serious note, it's sad to see people like dobey drift away from the more interesting projects, but it's good to hear he's running a field and not completely out of airsoft. Led it's also nice to see you back you had some interesting projects going I hope you have more to share. Link to post Share on other sites

vorpalbunnie Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 It's like reading a sad book. I found this thread, and read it all, eager to see the product, only to be denied a happy ending Link to post Share on other sites
