You have to submit a support ticket via the website, and you'll probably get an email confirmation.
But they'll just ignore that too.
Aero precision shipping times

But they'll just ignore that too.
Word on the street is that they've lost a LOT of their staff, parts are piling up in some sort of storage area (I saw pictures of thousands of rusty rifle barrels) and the majority of the remaining staff are staying silent about what's going on. Take that for what it's worth as I read all of it second hand.
That photo doesn't show a whole lot.
That could be a shipping area or any other part of the manufacturing process where items get stored. The other photos showing the "coolant" leak are apparently "normal" for machine shops.
There are a few disgruntled employees posting on reddit. Who knows what their MO is. Ultimately, things are weird over there but we have no real idea what is going on.
Really too bad to be honest. I have multiple ARs built on Aero parts and have a couple lowers and uppers in the safe to build more.
Ive been considering building another AR10 with M5 parts, but if its going to take 2 months-never to get my stuff, I wont bother.

NO ,they were at Shot Show
There's an Email avenue listed at the bottom of their web page . NOT certain but it appears they're over whelmed with orders and have diversified as to multiple color scheme finishes . This might account for delays ,depending on who's doing the finishes .
I'm NOT defending them ,as I ordered in early Nov. and Yesterday picked up MY stuff from MY local FFL . Shipping too Me takes 4-6 days normally and Ditto with FFL . Local FFL says there are a butt load of manufacturers late with orders including Aero Precision .
That's All I know but have a word out with an insider ,so as soon as I know something concrete ,I'll post it .
Have you tried the email on their website that I linked to on the first (or second) page of this thread?
The create a support ticket one? Yes. Tried calling multiple times as well, just put earbuds in at work(self employed) and after maybe 1.5hrs first time and almost 3 the second I ended the calls as I had other things to do.
At least Three things are broken at Aero Precision : The chat box is a sick joke ,try 5 hr. to finally connect and after closing time !.
The issued a ticket as our staff is reviewing your request ( or some silly bullshit to that effect ) .
Production too Shipping expediency is totally malfunctioning !!!!.
Don't waste your time calling ,as they use Caller ID and apparently ONLY answer if it's a financial inquiry CC ,Bank , Etc. .
OK where to apply pressure ?. Linkedin , where people within the industry, WILL SEE YOUR COMPLAINT . A Billion Strong

My friend is still waiting for him mid-December order (it's just a lower parts kit). Last week he tried the I'll email them to cancel the order because that seems to prompt them to ship it.
No luck

This is sad to hear because it seems something similar has happened at Ballistic Advantage, their barrel supplier. I know a few people who have quit over the last year or so. Sadly they were actual shooters which is why they couldn't stick around with how much management has totaly ignored QC and only cared about numbers. Apparently they were trying to bring too many new products online at the same time while having apparently no actual shooters on their engineering team?
They last person I knew there quit ~5 months ago saying they had also stopped giving raises and changed the pay structure from when they were hired, with yes men being placed in positions they should not be in.
The other thing I was told is that Aero and BA are constantly shipping qc failed parts back and forth across the country increasing overhead rather than just slowing down a bit a making a better product.
I have a bunch of Aero parts and have had no issues, I even have BA barrels that are as good as I can shoot. I don't want Aero to disappear but they seem to be trying to make it happen.
I really hope this bullshit is about them trying to relocate to a more friendly state but I have a feeling they are just going to continue on with
Aero sent me a valentines today. I just received the shipping notice for my solus action ordered on 12/17.
Just a little teaser for those still waiting... 
New video is up going 5 for 5 with the new 8.3" Solus .300 BLK pistol & TBAC Magnus @ 300 yards. Sorry for the audio, the gongs didn't pickup very clearly in this video, so you have to listen carefully.

I have some news that I received yesterday, that came straight from a high-up inside source @ Aero... That douchebag GM the hired, Ryan Donahue (creepy weirdo), who was the root cause of the problems at Aero... Has now been fired, and they are in the process of rebuilding their reputation and trying to get things back to normal.
So, fingers crossed, things will go back to being normal soon, and they can start having excellent CS and sales/shipping, like they were before that assclown got hired and fucked everything up.

Something is happening over there.
If you look at the website, they've actually marked a TON of things out of stock. Whereas prior, they were in stock but...well, we all know how that goes.
Interesting.
I really hope they turn this ship around.

Yet they're actively advertising loads of stuff again !. Lahar 30 being one at reduced price $799.00 .
I really wish someone up in DC would declare suppressors , NON NFA applicable and knock off that Fed Tax stamp crap !. Can't slip a sear in one ,can't load one and there's NO trigger too pull . Crock of shit ,IMO as Capone and the boys are loooong gone !.
Better order now if you want it before Christmas 2026!
I mentioned something about that in the other big Solus thread in the bolt action section. One of the reasons why everything was taking so long to ship, was the retard GM (Donahue) was making them advertise out of stock items as "in stock" to push sales, and not telling the customers they were backorders. He was also the one pushing all those annoying ass email flyers 5x a day... That shit was irritating. The insider that shall remain nameless said that immediately after his firing last week, they started changing things that were out of stock, to saying "out of stock" to avoid this bullshit from happening again.
I'm glad to hear they are following through and fixing this shit. Baby steps, but they add up to full-correction if they keep at it.
Reading any interview with that jack-wagon was nothing but CEO fad of the month club buzzword bullshit. Hopefully it is not too late for them to right the ship.
The guy who helped ppl with their order is no longer with Aero.
I just filed a dispute for an order I placed 11/24. Might try it in the future if the situation improves.

That's a bummer to hear. He helped me get my Solus action shipped after a couple months of hearing nothing from Aero.

Yeah I'm thinking about a 300blk pistol for "close to the house" coyotes. This just confirmed my thought process.
I don’t think the O’Neill Ops guys like 300BO for coyotes when they tested them. Not sure of the ranges they tested at.
@skinney_7?
Especially not with subs, with a 50 yard zero you'll need different holds at 75 and 100. Utah Airguns with a .30 slug sleeve in a M4 Impact set up with Thermal is going to be more beneficial.
Wha? lol you lost me there. Are you talking about one of these airguns?
The terms "M4" and "Impact" made me think for a sec that you added an airgun slug barrel to an Impact 737 action inside an M4 and somehow got air to the system lol. Man, my brain was spinning for 30 secs there.
A lot of AP stuff is still out of stock in most places I look.
I recently completed an Aero build with a BA barrel... 20" fluted DMR 8 twist Wylde. Rifle length gas of course.
Tried running a carbine buffer system with it. It was a bit "punchy" so I threw an Aero AGB and a rifle length stock and buffer on it... Immediate improvement in function and accuracy. Sub MOA with some Frontier ammo I tried.
Finished up a carbine upper build a few weeks ago... Just cobbled it together with some components I had laying around. Again, the system was overgassed and function/accuracy weren't what I was looking for.
Went to get another Aero adjustable gas block for it from the usual outlets. No joy. Out of stock everywhere... Bought a CMMG AGB and tube instead. Never again... Horrible workmanship. I made it work and saw improvement... But it left a bad taste in my mouth.
Hopefully AP is able to right the ship and move on.
I keep hearing it said that "no one wants to work" as the underlying cause for all the shortages...
In my experience, bad management will wreck a company 1000x faster than shitty floor hands... Especially when it comes to machining/manufacturing... It's always some jerkoff with a crusader mindset who thinks he's going to "take the company to the next level" by saving an ⅛ of a penny on some critical part or process. And he fucks up a proven performance process every damn time.

Ordered an AP part the same week for around $125 (now priced at $180+). Item clearly said "in stock" but was not really in stock. After nearly 3 months I finally said "F you" to Aero and filed the VISA dispute. Got my $$ back as a permanent resolution as even VISA could not contact them or resolve the dispute. Morons at AP sent me the part 1 week after my VISA win. Thanks for the freebie AP assholes! Great way to run a business.
They will hit your card back more than likely and show it shipped.
This is the same thing they did to me. I tried contacting them to cancel after a long wait and nothing happening but to no avail. I disputed the charge with my CC and, for over a month, they were unable to contact Aero as well. The charge was removed pending Aero contacting the CC within 90 days. At almost the 90 days, still no contact with my CC provider, I got a shipping notification. It was signature required so I refused the shipment. Never again will I order or even use any Aero product!
The semi monolithic upper is actually a solid piece of kit
I do like the M4E1 and M5E1 uppers. The rails are a bit fat, but work great on target guns or guns you need space to tuck a can into. I was wanting to buy one of their new ambi lowers. But until they get shit sorted, I will not be buying anything directly from them which is a shame because a lot of rifles are built on blem Aero parts.
