SSK-50 update

[Mjshell]

Anyone have any updates. Anyone receive theirs yet?

[D. Sanders]

Here we go again. LOL Contact SSK/HOA. I'm sure that they'll assure you that it'll be just a few more weeks.

Nothing like giving a multi year loan…with zero return.

[Mjshell]

So I take that as a no change. I’ve got no dog in the hunt, but was hoping it was moving forward.

It seemed a little more real with the last "announcement" but 4 months goes by without anything happening. Looks like another misfire.
Interesting, though...looks like HOA is showing stock on new component parts for EZ-open Contender frames. Maybe some actual progress has been made. :)

:biggrin-new: I guess at this point, it's just a crying laughing situation. We've spent the money, they've promised delivery at least a dozen times. They're back at the original tc investment casting company, who supposedly was able to deliver castings compatible with ssk's required tolerances, and no frames. At this point, i should just request the refund and get out of the hunt. I'm not really sure what I'm waiting for, guess it's just the eternal hope that they'll actually be produced...

I really expected more from the last email update but alas just another "coming soon". It's becoming a joke at this point

It's been a joke to me for 2 years now.:rofl::rofl:

SSK is not Thompson Center Arms and look at all the longer it took for the G2.

The latest from Marty: "Ssk50, We have stocksets, barrels, scopes and ammo is available from Remington. All we're waiting for is to replace the frame with an SSK-50. We're expecting delivery very soon. We appreciate your patience, and it will be worth the wait!!!"

I can't remember if this December is 3 years or 4 of waiting, not including I bought mine the day they offered them, like 6 months before that.

I, for one, have had the patience of Job with this project. Like Job, my patience is starting to wear thin.

G2 seemed forever! When it happens i will consider it monumental. IF it does get here, i wonder how long it will be produced as well. Could end up with a “rare” action lol.

​I think it was October 2019.

Was it like a year? I can't remember but it sure as hell wasn't 4.

Here is a link to another forum and the post date is Oct. 2019. So yeah, it will soon be 4 years since they started taking deposits.

I bought 2 the day after they offered them also, at this point I'll be happy if it happens but I'm not holding my breath anymore...

Anyone here have the real story. It was the summer of 2017 when I first heard of the intent to build a few and the frame would be CNC, Something had to derail them.

[HandgunhuntingAfield]

At this point it’s pretty foolish if people don’t start demanding a refund.

[HandgunhuntingAfield]

The frame was going to be cast. Maybe cleaned up on the machines.

they tried going with second rate casting companies and got second rate products…

then they got tied up legally with S&W.

in short…. I highly doubt you’ll ever see a frame
