NFC Mystery Box Question
Posted by: Ed Kramer (---)
Date: September 27, 2023 11:07PM

I got my mystery box. Came through with no damage. Upon initial inspection, everything looks pretty nice. My one question is: Where can I get the blank descriptions and specifications based on the pattern numbers? I checked the NFC catalog and could not relate any of the pattern numbers to blanks in the current catalog. I also searched the website and could not find the information there. I like to compare the manufacturer's published data against the data I measure when I CCS the blanks and keep it for my records.

Here is a link to NFC’s Master list that Aleks Maslov posted a while back.

I too purchased the Mystery Box which arrived over the weekend on Sept. 30. So far I've been able to identify 11 of 20 blanks using the master list cross referenced against what I figure to be the pattern number printed on a sticker at the butt end of each blank.

Those 11 blanks have an MSRP of over $1,800 based on the pricing listed within the master list so overall I'm thrilled about the deal and my purchase ($500 for 20 blanks with 10 reel seats and components to 10 carbon fiber grips). Problem I'm having with the master list is it does not include 8 of the pattern numbers that are needed to reconcile the blank received with the specification. (The remaining blank did not have an identifier on the blank - the sticker fell off I believe before I received it.)

Missing specifications for patterns:
013
023
058
079
407
7379.78
7386.84
7411.94

Would love to know if anyone happens to know the spec for these above patterns. Again, I know there's a master list but the master list does not include the above 8 pattern numbers. Thank you in advance to anyone who has some ideas or insights!

Measure butt and tip, check for the same in the catalog, than make your best guess on your experinces.

I too have checked against the master list and have not found several of the blanks. In addition to the blanks Adam Schulz requested, I can not find specs on the following blanks:
381.81
074.33
409
054
53
47.78
58.84
020

Please provide the specs on these also.

Thanks.

Email nfc your numbers and they'll help you out. That's what I did and had a reply the next day. The decimal blanks ended up being a listed model that was supposed to be trimmed to that length.
