Topic pretty much says it.
Was UMI the ones that took over making the C5 brackets to bishop specs? If not who tackled the chore? |

Kevin bought/licensed/whatever the design from Bob Bishop and took over the business end of things, but I think the actual fabrication is still done by the same vendor that Bob used.
UMI, by their own admission here some time ago, produces an unauthorized copy of the Bishop design. There are some differences in the material and finishing process used, with differences of opinion on how that affects the end product. I am in no way qualified to comment on those discussions, but I'm sure they're still in the archives somewhere. |
