Same. Not going clone correct because different optic and using Otter Creek but is the Gen 3 better than the Gen 4? After reading through this entire thread, is sounds like the Gen 4 may be better and/or suit my needs better. The Mod H is fairly new to me. Curious because I only want/need one or the other. |

Gen 4 came about to address issues with the Gen 3. We changed the lock up with the tube to increase the strength, and we went with a wider castle nut and an ambi end plate to allow the nut to be torqued down to eliminate the wobbling issue the gusset allowed. Jesse |

Jesse Understood. So both Gen 3 and Gen 4 have been and will be restocking a little at a time until done? Decisions, decisions. 🤣 Thanks, Jesse! |

Yes, Gen 4's will most likely hit this weekend, the Gen 3's are still a bit out. Gen 4's will be available more often than the Gen 3's, the retro's we'll run every year or two when we have the demand to justify a batch. Jesse |

Next drop for Gen 4 SOCOM's will be Saturday May 31 at noon EST, barring any complications. The Gen 3's will be available around the first of July, I'll know specifics closer to that date. Thanks, Jesse |

| I did the same thing as 11boomboom, he beat me to posting saying they were in stock by a min. Your best bet is to subscribe to the thread, the last 2 drops were posted in here and then you will get an email at least. They probably only had about 30 or so for sale and went out of stock at 11:40ish |

When I saw them go live that early, I knew I had to spread the word here so some of us could get them. Like I said earlier, I've missed out on these and other hobbies before, so I camp out these things all day.  ETA: Just an FYI, the Gen 3s are supposed to drop in about 2 weeks, so sub here for when they get a drop day. |

I apologize for the premature population, everything on the backend of the site was set to go live at noon, but something happened and the inventory uploaded early. I'm looking into why the issue occurred and working to resolve it. We'll do better on one. Thanks, Jesse ETA: Our web guy populated it early to make sure everything was GTG before noon, but had not anticipated the early traffic on them. We'll make sure to populate inventory at the time specified next drop. |

This could change if the demand is there, but I doubt that I'll be keeping the excess inventory like we were previously. Thanks, Jesse |

Makes sense as things have slowed down, just seemed like there was a fair bit of demand as they sell out so quickly. As always, appreciate it. |
There is a demand currently, they've been out of stock for quite a while which helped drive the demand. It was hard to tell if the demand is actually 50 units or 500 units, so we opted to ease into the process. I made sure to keep the posting updated so everyone knows what's going on so hopefully there isn't a huge amount of flippers since they're coming out fairly regularly. Keep your eyes out on our social media next week, that's where we're going to announce the next release since the stocks were gone before the announcement went out due to the premature population.  Thanks, Jesse |

Thanks, Jesse What's your favorite wrench for installing the castle nut? I thought I had the right wrench, but I didn't. I did get to test fire it today, but I'll need to tighten it down all the way so it doesn't loosen up like it did at the range. Attached File ETA: I ordered a Midwest Industries spanner wrench for castle nuts. I'm hoping that one will work. My other spanner wrenches weren't quite right. |

Thanks, Jesse For the folks in this thread, is there anyway we can signup or prepay for specific one/Gen? I'd be happy to prepay or be on a dedicated buyers list for a Gen 3. This problem for myself and possibly many others is we aren't on social media all the the time and email blasts don't always get to the intended party on time. Thanks |

Thanks We've been trying to come up with solutions for this issue. I have been part of exactly one group buy and one pre-sale. Both went sideways due to situations out of my control because of the actions of third parties. I will NEVER be a part of another group buy. I am adverse to taking money for products I don't have in may hand to sell, and I don't believe the lists that people get on to purchase something when they aren't required to make a non-refundable deposit. We'll continue to think of possible solutions for this and I'll post with what we come up with. Right now we're trying to do this the fairest way possible, I know it's frustrating when you miss out on a drop, I've missed out on them for concert tickets, patch drops, knife drops, etc. They'll start dropping more per release after the Gen 3's get finished. I appreciate everyone's patience! Thanks, Jesse |

I appreciate everyone's patience! Thanks, Jesse I'm not worried about missing a drop if I have the date and time. Just as long as they drop at said date and time. Unfortunately for some, they missed the Gen4. Will there be any sort of email, message, social media post for the Gen3 or will they go up like today, no warning? Edit** or post here about the time and date of release? |

It looks like Noveske and WetWorx got together for some barrels. https://wetworxoutfitters.com/noveske-mk12-mod-h-barrel-holland/ |

I'll post here the time and date of the Gen 3 and next Gen 4 drop. I'm waiting for parts to come back from coating so we can start getting them assembled, and I can give an ETA. Since we had the premature population issue on the last drop, we sent notice through social media for the last batch. We're trying to do this the most fair and honest way possible, I know there is a demand and we're trying to fill it as efficiently as possible. I'll keep updating as things progress. Thanks, Jesse |
