I had UPS leave a $3500 AK SP1000 on my doorstep even though it was an "on signature" delivery. I had to get a sub and race home to get it. Middle of the day!

Honestly the satin black looks a million times better.I trust this message finds you all well. Please find below some crucial updates regarding the RAVEN:
RAVEN Launch Edition – Mirror Gold:
I've been steadfastly present at the CNC, polishing, and coating facilities, personally overseeing the final touches to ensure our mirror gold faceplates adhere to the exemplary standard that was initially presented. Despite the diligence, we've encountered a series of setbacks, with an unexpectedly high failure rate due to visible polishing imperfections and cosmetic flaws, such as those evidenced in the photo below. After much deliberation and effort to rectify these issues, we've mutually decided to part ways with the current vendor.
Around 140 unit of the launch editions will have the mirror gold finish. The remainder will be finished in the new Satin Gold.
RAVEN Launch Edition – Satin Gold:
The remaining launch edition units will feature a satin gold finish, achieved through a meticulous process of ball blasting, electroplating, and ceramic coating, finalized with an anti-fingerprint layer. This alternative approach significantly reduces the failure rate and allows for a swifter production cycle. Though the finish differs from the original mirror polish, it remains a premium offering.
I understand this update may come as a surprise, and I ask for your understanding. Adopting this new finish is a crucial decision made to maintain the high standards of quality you expect from us and to expedite delivery amidst the challenges we've faced. I appreciate your patience and support as we work tirelessly to bring you a product that not only meets but exceeds expectations without further delay.
The remainder of the launch editions is estimated to be completed by the end of the month.
RAVEN Standard Edition – Satin Black:
Similar to the matte gold, the standard edition will sport a satin black finish, offering a sleek and modern aesthetic.
Standard Editions are set to ship by the second week of December.
That looks better than the original IMHO. Classy, less gaudy, and obviously far less OCD-inducing being fingerprint resistant. Great decision!I trust this message finds you all well. Please find below some crucial updates regarding the RAVEN:
