Don't get too excited yet, this is a long process, and we are the beginning of it. It has blown my mind how much work has been needed to put these frames into production. More than I expected. There are several major steps along the way that have to fall into place, and I have some ideas and concepts that means we are unlikely to be copying how other frames were done in the past. The innovation is usually what takes longer, but I think there is a better solution than we have seen in the past.
My plan is to have frames with internals. They are designed to use the same or similar components to the Empire Sniper and Empire Resurrection. I have had an order in with KEE for the internal parts since Mar 10th and still no idea when they will arrive (you are familiar with that from our emails). I am also moving forwards with making those parts myself (well actually subbing them out as I don't have the right machines) so we will have a solution.
Until then we will likely offer the frames with out parts (so you can change a Resurrection or Sniper to an 86* frame if you want) or just to be different.
I prefer sliders so can't wait to be able to simply put a frame onto my Empire Sniper :)
