I've come to the conclusion,I may never field it. That being said,I've seen a VFC BAR in action,or should I say INACTION, so...

I sent an inquiry to Evike this last weekend and received this:
I know most say they "SUCK" and it's not gonna happen but, since I can I'm gonna hold on and perhaps maybe sometime someday am going to end up with the BAR I want for my collection... Call me crazy but I'm gonna hope and wait... Maybe someday I'll post pics when and if I get it....

My CNC version VFC BAR works very well and is quite a long range accurate AEG. I does however require constant care especially because the screws tend to loosen easlily.

theres only one problem with that inquire from evike. its says that there is still HOPE?? that wouldn't be good enough for me, i would want a definitive YES, not a maybe or still hope! I will only believe it when i see photographic evidence that is fully built, or until someone receives theirs and does a review of it

does anyone know if the new black bear website is done yet, since it says they are working on it. but if it isnt that makes me believe that it could be a very long time until we see this BAR, cause if they dont even have time to finish their website, obv it will take them forever to do the BAR.

So it's Oct now... wonder how long they will keep pushing it back a month at a time until they finally admit it's not going to happen.

ya i just see this being a scam! they just probably wanted money to do stuff to their business, cause imagine how much money they made on this deal, so imagine if everyone canceled their order, they would be smurfed!!!! luckily i got my money back

I dont think Evike is scaming anyone... I think they just have crappy customer service. I think the manufacture of the BAR is the scammer/unreliable company here.

I agree. I also think we've beaten this dead horse enough. Anyone who ordered from them and wants their money back will get it back but obviously you won't get it back immediately just like everyone can't withdrawal all their money from a bank at the same time
It is really starting to get old with everyone posting nothing but "oh this is a scam scammy scam scam" ten times a person and not contributing anything else...

I like beating a dead horse. It's a good harmless way to vent frustrations.

Misery is less annoying when it is shared. I can't wait for some one to break the spell an announce. "Dude I just got mine and it's aaaaawwwweeeessssoooommmmme!!!!" Okay don't hold my breath!

ya i agree with 2nd Bat! how could a company slash the price that much and still produce a good alternative to the VFC with only 300 dollars, it just seems risky to me. Im guessing it will be all pot metal, cheap wood, and average to poor internals.

I don't think it's an intentional 'scam', I feel they jumped the gun big time announcing the thing. The manufacturing climate keeps changing obviously and I personally doubt their affordable BAR will come to fruition. I was one click away from preordering back in...I think Jan this year when it was $270 but just held off as hadn't ordered from them before and read nothing but bad things about them. Coincidentally I just made my first order with them, just a simple flash hider and I can say from experience their customer svc people need to go back to flipping burgers.

I've asked to Evike if they could confirm that the guns exist and that shipping is the only problem. They replied:
Hello , Yes the manufacturers have produced them we are just awaiting for the shipment to arrive. Thank you for Airsofting and thank you for shopping with Evike.com. Your #1 Airsoft shop!
My next email I'm waiting for a reply on is why there are no updated pictures. I'll post the response when I get it.

Also...
I asked I shipping is the problem, why have I recieved an order from Redwolf within a week.
Evike's reply:
Hello , The reason being this is a different manufacturer and this is a large bulk of items coming into the states. Thank you for Airsofting and thank you for shopping with Evike.com. Your #1 Airsoft shop!
