Does anyone know if Aadland Engineering is still in business? I need to order some more flip up caps and sent them a couple emails with zero response. Their phone number now is also like (555) 555-5555...sounds totally legit.

Yeah, I bet the first set of URLs are some default set from his hosting provider that he has failed to delete or simply fwd to the correct pages.I finally got a hold of him. Seemed to be related to the issues mentioned above with the two different contact pages. He also confessed that he would never get any work done if he responded to all the emails he gets. I suggested an auto reply so at least there was some contact established. Whatever, I guess I can cut him some slack because his caps are fantastic.
There is something incorrectly configured on that aadmount.com domain.
There is:
https://aadmount.com/shop/, which links to https://aadmount.com/contact/ (this page is the one that lists the 555-555-5555 number and also lists the owner as “Fashn” with an address of 123 Example Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85260)
That page returns a 403 forbidden error when I submit my question…That website sure looks like a scam.
I've always used the form on this page http://shop.aadmount.com/contactus.sc to start an email/conversation with Jon. He would usually responds within a few days.
Not for me just now...twice. Took me right to the contact page.That page returns a 403 forbidden error when I submit my question…
That has been my experience as well, I just order.I have ordered probably a dozen things from Mr Aadland over the last several years. I just “backorder” them online and then several weeks later they appear.
When you submit, buddy.Not for me just now...twice. Took me right to the contact page.
Oops, over looked that one. LOLWhen you submit
You are the doctor I presume?Oops, over looked that one. LOL
Hey, I'm old...but it has its advantages. This is me:

Read this thread from the beginning and you will find your answer.So has any one ordered recently? I ordered a throw lever on 02/28 and other than the confirmation email I haven't heard anything. I uses the contact form on the webpage 3 days ago and nothing.
I did. So he is either super busy or a procrastinating bastard. Being that this thread is from last year I thought maybe things had been updated.Read this thread from the beginning and you will find your answer.
1. Things haven't changed, nor are they likely to.I did. So he is either super busy or a procrastinating bastard. Being that this thread is from last year I thought maybe things had been updated.
What are they made out of? They look 3d printed.1. Things haven't changed, nor are they likely to.
2. Jon has a full time job in addition to Aadmount.
3. I am not of the impression that he is a procrastinator. I think he stays super busy.
4. His caps are arguably the best on the market.
You will get your caps, just be patient. His lack of comms is not ideal, but that is the way that it is. Do I think he should improve his comms ? Yes, but I don't get to make that decision. Someone above stated that Jon had said that he'd get nothing done if he tried to respond to every e-mail. I believe him.
It's been a couple of years, but I received the wrong ocular cap on an order. I e-mailed him and he got back to me right away. He sent a replacement quickly (it was 2 or 3 days, he had to make it). He even knew where my (the correct one for my order) ocular cap went. I offered to send the wrong one back, but he said "nah, don't worry about it".
So, yeah, comms aren't good In general. Would I buy his caps again ? Yes, without a doubt or concern. They are my first choice.
They are. I get the impression he has a quality printer(s). The caps seem to be free of lines that you'd see from a lower resolution printer. For all I know, he could have a shop full of printers and he downloads various files to different printers, depending on the types of caps that need to be run for that day.What are they made out of? They look 3d printed.
I get it. I suspect that he's made the decision that this is the way that he needs to do business and he understands that he's going to lose some because of it. I don't have the impression that he's a dick or is arrogant, it's just that his time is very limited. In fact, now that I think about it, our comms back and forth were quite pleasant.Never owned or ordered a set of Aadland caps, but I do know that I would not do business with anyone that can't be bothered to respond to potential or existing customers. I don't care how good the product is. And I don't care if it's a one man show, or a large company. If you are in business, and accept other peoples money, you can find an hour a day to respond to your customers. I fully understand that the firearms industry operates under the "the customer sucks and we are doing them a favor" philosophy, but luckily there are always other options.
I’ve ordered 3 sets of SB PMII 5-25 covers from him, about a year apart. Each time they were out of stock and a backorder had to be placed. Every time they showed up in about 2 weeks, so you’re probably getting close.So has any one ordered recently? I ordered a throw lever on 02/28 and other than the confirmation email I haven't heard anything. I uses the contact form on the webpage 3 days ago and nothing.
Easy for you to say. As someone that has a full-time job as well as side gig, an hour a day for emails is NOT doable most days of the week.you can find an hour a day to respond to your customers.

I don't know what material he uses, but it's tough stuff.
Well from what most are saying these are quality products so I guess I’ll save judgement for when I receive it and use it.
Yeah interesting.Looks like he got the whole webstore refreshed:
Indeed they are but they are very well made. I believe they are made of nylon 11 or similar. They are very tough and robust.What are they made out of? They look 3d printed.
Nylon 12, via SLS printing.Indeed they are but they are very well made. I believe they are made of nylon 11 or similar. They are very tough and robust.
An engineer’s engineer…less talk, more results.Ok I see what the big deal is this thing is awesome. Showed up after 2 1/2 and fits perfect. I still think the lack of communication is a bit annoying but he backs it up with his work so I get it.
If I remember correctly, I had to take a flat blade screw driver and "gently" open up the gap a "slight" bit where the screw is to slide it on.Has anyone bought Aadland caps for a Razor G3 6-36x56? I bought one set and I almost had to hammer the ocular cap onto the eyepiece. Trying to figure out if that was a one time issue or if those caps are just undersized and always need that.

My only complaint with them is that they DO fit tighter than they have to. I've only used them on SB PMII 5-25s (three sets). Since they have the clamping screw to tighten it, I don't know why the fit has to be so frickin' tight with the screw completely loosened. I mean, there's plenty of travel/clamping force available from the screw for a very tight fit if he just made them an easy slip-fit with the screw loosened. As @Baron23 mentioned, it does help to remove the screw and pry the slot open with a screwdriver when sliding them on.If I remember correctly, I had to take a flat blade screw driver and "gently" open up the gap a "slight" bit where the screw is to slide it on.
Just be patient, you'll get them and you'll love them.Welp, just paid for a set of caps for Athlon Ares Etr Uhd 4.5-30x56
Hope it's 7-10 days like stated
Thank you, Mr. Sugar Tit'sJust be patient, you'll get them and you'll love them.
