shaft!

[jahlad]

ok im guessing im not the only one who got an email from planet this afternoon

who knows what!!!!!
spill the beans!!!!

 

[Booti]

my thoughts exactly

looking at a barrel package.....anyone want to make any other guesses

 

[H]

Yeah, i think a multi bore/back barrel system would be the most likely. Like the Evil Pipe system but a bit different, with 'e' logos all over and coming as standard with the top level Eclipse markers annoned to match (i hope)

Then again..maybe not...Look at the copyright

'2004 Shaft and the Shaft Device are trademarks of Planet Eclipse Ltd."

Shaft Device (capital D) eh? Hmm......maybe not just a regular barrel...might be somthing rather invovative. EDIT- Might not even be a barrel

PS. WD on the marketing Planet.....it's working

 

[Parksy]

Is it me or do the back and front (if that is what is pictured) seem really different in sizes?

 

[Gurney]

I did`nt get an e-mail........can somebody forward it to stugurnell@yahoo.com

cheers

I was thinking that if indeed this is a barrel system what you see here is just a front section...to the right of the 'e's is the conponent that some how conects into the back portion....I'm not sure though, just a guess.

looks to me like the front section of the barrel on the right of the pic (you can see the porting) does look a different size to the back....although that is a super close up so exagerates it a lot probably.

broz: by the shaft 'device' in the copyright thingy they meen the shaft logo

might have to take a ride down to planet and have a look later

If the front was on the right, that would mean that the 'e's were upside done/reversed. Normaly on barrel designs, logos and other such bits should 'face' forwards.

I can't say i'm convinced thats porting we can see.... the part on the right does not look much like an element that is external either. Seems a bit rough and unstyled, not the mention its diameer drops verysharply (at a right angle) which makes me think it is a conecting component.

 

[jahlad]

yeah you could be right there, i kinda twist lock thingy?

 

[Parksy]

You thinking what Matt thinks is the porting is some kind of locking mechanism for the back of the barrel? It actually looks that way to me now looking at it as the holes do not go all the way through the barrel
