Need a Gunfighter Mk.II

I've been trying to get my hands on one for a while now on a Gunfighter Mk.II tabletop with MCG PRO. Website says that they will be back in stock September 2018. Any way to pre-order one or do I just wait for them to become available and then order? I live in the US.

Pretty much have to wait until available again unfortunately. Unless you find a third party selling theirs.

I bought my Gunfighter Mk 1 Pro early last year, and waiting until little over a week ago to be able to get the MCG Pro grip to go along with it.

Best thing to do is just keep an eye out for availability again and get an order placed asap. They tend to go fast.

Will not deliver to US (where the OP is)

Curious, because Gladiator and some parts can be delivered... Then rest await September. :)

BTW - Contact VKB sales@vkb-sim.ru may are some "forget" in drawers.

I ordered a Gunfighter II w/ MCG pro from Aliexpress back in Feb. Shipping address was a US APO address. Had it rush shipped. Went from China to the US back to my APO address in Korea in about 8 days.

I'll be happy to wait till September for the next batch, but how quickly do the runs sell out? Wondering if I need to write a script to check the VKB site every 4 hours or something and notify me if the 'out of stock' message changes.

They should allow pre-orders, or at the very least have an in-stock notification system set up on the site.

Send rrhode a message, he is pretty good at informing NA customers when they get stock available to order.

I think he may send it to everyone that has signed up on the VKB NA website.

That is how I snagged my new MCG Pro grip.

So I have been VERY disappointed with how VKB has been handling stock.

I've been waiting for the MCG for almost a year. My wait started in December of 2017 when I was told new stock would come in February.

Flash forward to then, nothing happened. Date pushed back to March.. Then April.. Then! They announced that they were getting a shipment via their newsletter. "Oh boy!" I thought, "I better get in on that!"

Within the span it took for me to log into my account the day that they became available, they were sold out. How many did they sell that day? 14 units!! Now, I am not an expert on the manufacturing process, shipping, or delivering. However, I am acutely aware that if you have something that is considered long-awaited, you may want to get more in stock than 14 of them. Or at least let people pre-order the things so it's not a mad scramble within the span of ten or so minutes to grab as many as they can. VKB's lack of being able to pre-order something has been by far the most frustrating part about this.

Earlier this month, the MCG was available for all of a single hour. No clue how many they sold, but it once again highlights the problems at play.

I know this isn't rrhode's fault, but at the same time it's absurd how this just keeps happening. I'm convinced the September period for ordering them is going to last all of eight seconds. :doh:

Anyone have rrhode's e-mail address?

I also bought it from AliExpress and I'm waiting to receive the Gunfighter Pro Mk. II w/MCG Pro Grip and extension. 399 eur + shipping.

I CANNOT wait to get my hands on a Gunfighter Mk.II Pro MCG Pro with the extender.

Been flying with my extended Mk 1 Gunfighter and MCG Pro grip about three weeks now, it is for sure a very sweet setup.

I'm jealous bro. Did you switch out the cams and springs to compensate for the extender?

Springs yes - I settled on one #50 and one #20 spring per axis.

I stayed with the #10 soft center cam - and it is very soft.

Is this typically the best config for using the extender? I am guessing I should change out the springs/cams for the extender as the first thing right out of the box before I plug it in to calibrate correct?

Yeah depends on what springs come installed. If you ordered the Pro Gunfighter Mk II it may already have the #50 springs installed, not sure. I ordered the Pro Kit which was the extension and springs after I ordered the Gunfighter, so mine had much softer springs installed in the base.

You will just have to play with it and settle on what feels best for your usage, just the #50 spring was not enough for me, was still too soft for my taste. So I added the #20 also and that is about right for me.

You can see my review in the below thread where I go into a little more detail.

I see, so you staggered #50 and #20 springs for each axis? i.e. you have 2 different springs both on the same cam?

Yep, the rods they attach to are made to accommodate two springs. No problem, just have to make sure the coil on inside spring is facing inside and coil on outside spring is facing outward so they do not interfere with each other.

Good to know. Thank you. Ready to get this bad boy on order along with the MFG Crosswinds. Just got 2 Virpil Desk Mounts along with the TMW Throttle plate on order. I think there is someone around here on the forum who makes and sells the Gunfighter Mk.II base plate to fit the Virpil Desk Mount.

Should be coming in stock soon right guys???

Been waiting patiently for these to come in stock. I didn’t realize it was going to require a month long browser refresh clicking session to possibly buy something.

If it’s that bad I assume obtaining a vkb throttle is pure fantasy

Unfortunately that is the downside- the waiting.

They are well worth the wait, but man it can get to be a frustrating long wait. I had my new Gunfighter Mk I Pro sitting here in box for just over a year before I was able to order and get my hands on my MCG Pro grip for it. Now that I have it, I don't give it much thought anymore.

If anyone is interested, I’m selling my Gunfighter MkII Pro, along with the Monstertech desk mount. Both as new. As well as a set of Saitek Pro Combat Pedals...selling only because I managed to get my hand on some ex-military parts
