aardvark is the best.
what's pbc got? some different anno. all products they've got are rip offs to aardy (that's me though, and I am almost 100% right on that though).
rumours have it that dye, and kapp are gonna try and make custom matrices, but to me; it's just not gonna happen.

Mr. Y2k maybe if arrdvark got its act together and got a big U.S. dealer they would be bigger. But instead they r in Canada with outrageous shipping . THAT is why I and i;m sure many others pick pbc. Plus the trinity is a regulator. The pbc reg is the same but most lpr's are gonna be virtually the same for the matrix. I get very tired of your endless aardvark is the best nonsense.

right now they're working on a guy in cali., a guy in texas (diesel paintball), a guy in michigian, and a guy for utah (I think that's the last place). yes I do realise that aardy is canadian, and screw that over. but how do you think I feel?!? most, no ALL big companies are *ahem* american. so lets see for me, once I get something, I have to pay boarder tax, plus shipping that's worse then yours (oh trust me, for what aardy does, it's a god send), plus even if I ask for something overnight, I may have to wait for up to a month to get it now.
the one reason why aardvark isn't working for the next 2 weeks is to a) catch up, and b) to get more american dealers. now I know the have one who is american, that's over on pbnation, and they're really, really trying, but aardvark doesn't just trust anyone with stuff that he makes himself (practically everything that's aardy, he did himself). he's just like palmer, and oh boy the only way I can get his stuff, is if it's used.
like twitch said, "think, then post. always in that order". it's alot harder for a canadian to get paintball items on the internet, then it is for an american to get canadian items.

I know arrdvark is great for the canadien players. And I don't mean to do dis arddvark, seems like he works very hard. But i dont like it when people ask what they should get and you are immediatly like arrdvark is the best. You should show people their other options(like pbc).

I try to remember that stuff, but it can slip my mind. however, their front reg they've got (whatever it's called). I know of a guy in ohhh....crap where the monkey was it? NEVADA! that's it. anywho. I've got a friend down there who order 10 of their regs, he had to send them all back because they leaked. it's just to me; why would you bother telling about the other guys who have sub-par products at the current time, and just go ahead and tell them the best bang for their buck. lets face it, 3 months ago, it would have been alot more expensive for you guys to do this. feel happy!

You are basing your opinion of the company on 10 regs sent to nevada. then you call them a sub par company. you canadiens need to think more logically

do you really think those were the only ones that may have had problems? i agree with 2k on this, i would rather have some one recommend products that are proven to have great quality and work well then tell me about some shady products that are not of the same quality and caliber. though it is only fair to at least mention other options, i think 2k is just trying to help and would rather have someone happy with what they buy than suggest something to someone that may have problems . . .

thank you venom. it's nice to know someone is behind me on this. he's not the only one to have problems pb. there's alot of complaints over at pbnation about the pbc front reg. check it out, I'm not kidding on this.

Well i happen to have one. The leak is caused by the o-ring on the piston being damaged. to fix it you simply replace it. With thematrixcenter's great support just callem and they will send you a new oring

Venom you call them shady products. oh ya they are only made by the best known distributor of matrices in the U.S.
look I'm sure arrdvark parts are good but what makes his parts better than pbc parts when you havn't even used pbc parts. I am not saying pbc parts are better I am saying it is a good option if you don't wanna mess with a company in Canada. And by the way go to the pbnation forums(which has a way better matrix forum) people have problems with your sacred trinities to. Oh and arrdvark ripped all their names off the movie. At least pbc can come up with something original... like named after their company lol:laugh:

I'd say the quality problem is the o-rings and not the reg. Maybe the threads in the front of the reg are too sharp, but they should probably use urethane o-rings or something.

pb you know what happens when you assume?
you make an *** out of u and me.
I have used a pbc reg, a friend of mine had sent one to me. all it is, is the same thing as a trinity (exact same thing to me, looked pretty similiar on the inside). I have absoluetly nothing againt the matrix center, heck those guys were willing to hold one of those regs for me when they first came out, as well as a couple other products, they're that friendly. and I know that in the matter of months, maybe even weeks, their products will be at standards that would make me buy their products. because right now compairing a pbc reg, to a trinity is like compairing a dragun, to a matrix. but for now I'm aardy all the way.
plus pb, it looks like you care for the other guys in the business, what about gforce? or diablo's own stuff? haven't seen you made mention to them yet.
can't we just accept that at the current time, aardvark has the better stuff. I'm sure pbc can, and probably will get their products up to the same level. it's all about reliability in this sport.

Mr. Y2k the whole point of me posting is to bring people to the realization that arrdvark isn't the only option. In fact for the players in the U.S I reccomend pbc. For the players in Canada i reccomend arrdvark. Location Location Location

well the main reason that aardvark products are better is they have different tighter tolerances than TMC... not to mention that aardvark designed the bolt kit when he worked for TMC.four years he was with them and now he has gone on to better the bolt and chips and boards...the trinity works the best on the matrix...hell the c/f regs that were sent to tmc were put togeather wrong by tmc and customer complaints came galore...that info is on the web from c/f...because of all the recent customer calls direct to c/f... the plain facts are that aardy made the bolt kit and continues to improve it and the trinity.. ;-)

What are you smokin. You say aardvark worked for tmc for years. the matrix hasnt even been out for years. TMC is in north carolina. aardvark lives in canada. I might be wrong but i would thinc centerflag would assemble their OWN regs before giving them to tmc. I would also think that airtech would put the centerflag reg on and not tmc. I DONT CARE IF AARDY MADE THE BOLTKIT. if you read any of this thread you would realize that my purpose was to let people realize there was another option. Noone enjoys paying 25$ for shipping

more importantly is the fact that i'm 100% correct, and for me to save $15 on shipping just to have lessor of a product is not worth it...yes you do make another option to the forum, but get your facts in order first. just call c/f and you will get that answer right away...there is 2 different regs they made some they c/f put togeather and the ones marked tmc were put togeather by tmc.
to many things to really put into words, but keep your eyes open,soon the new aardvark "entity" matrix will be released.
