GOD, I hope that is not the case ???:(
Emory's Bottom Line

Lack of Appreciation! A lot of people have taken Emory and his work for granted. He makes a quality product that has no peer. Then there's the new guy that couldn't even spell Browning last week and is going to build a better Crankfire this week. He just got enough of it. I don't blame him. Get your next one from the new "professional". Jim
Hopefully the cranks are just put on "hold" until the other projects get caught up to speed.
Nope the web site tells it like it is, talking to Emory after the
units that are ready to go, there will be no more fully built
Crankfires!! He puts a lot of man hours and builds a great
product, we have two and they run fantastic!!!!

Almost hard to believe, how could anyone who has used one "take it for granted" his units are desired as much as the gun itself, it doesn't make sense. It is easy to feel unappreciated though, been there myself. I thought about making my own until Shuft let me use his Emory six lobe unit, I immediatly gave up the idea when I realized that I might make something after a month or so, or I could work a week of overtime and have a much better unit. I immedialtly started saving for one of his and having nearly enough I called today to put one on hold and the money order is going out Wed.
ya know ,, in the year or so I've been on this forum, I've never seen anyone complain about a Emmory unit.. infact if someone had a fitting problem with one .. one of you guys or Emmory himself would respond with a easy fix to the guys problem..
you cant ask for anything better than that..
Personally speaking i really appreciate Emmorys work because it lets me own a
legal fast firing weapon..with out the expence of class 3 costs..
It is possible that the product was too good. He may have put so much of himself in the work that he just burned out and did not want to build a product of lesser quality and higher price to justify the effort.
Cranks:

Why couldn't someone else build them to his specs, and just pay him a royalty for each one they sell??
Emory's one of the best! QUALITY always!

New stuff! New stuff! New stuff! :D
Crank ?

I,m flabbergassed that Emory isn't going to make any more. I bought one ( I think from his first batch) about 4 years ago and another a couple of years. And have praised it ever sense. But now I guess I own 2 rare or semi rare cranks.
Bummer, if I wasnt saving for another project I would snag one, thats too bad. I always figured Id get one.
that's too bad

i got one from one of the first batches and my only complaint is that it can out-run the gun and suck up a whole lot of ammo. real cool

hope you continue in business emory
Bummer!!!!

Not that either of mine will ever break, but I hope he will make spare parts.
Maybe he really isn't going to stop making the crank but rather redesigning to add a little motor so all you have to do is turn it on and it cranks automatically.:D

Tailor made for people with nothing to do for the next 10 years! :eek:
