Id like to take time to make a post updating guys with orders in place. Were still on the month of January orders. More than half the way through them. There are still about 110 January orders to fill. There are 20-30 rifles in the finishing stages now and then we are in a small holding pattern till the next batch or parts hits the doors. I got a 2-3 week timeframe today so mid November best guess. We have 80-90 barrels done and ready for these and by the time they get here we will have the rest done. We also have all the BCG's and Gas Systems, so with the current plan in place January orders will ship by Christmas with a few February thrown in as well. February is alot easier as there are only 80-90 orders, then by March its almost back to normal.
So Id like to apologize to the guys in January that were told 4-6 months as this was a bad estimation on our part but the best we could do as nobody could know the amount of jolt the industry was about to receive from the Newtown incident and the subsequent aftermath. . By Mid January we were saying 8 months which is still off quite a bit, but Apologies here as well. The guys that placed their orders at the end of January were told 10 months and we are going to be close on those guys as well as February who most of were told 8-10 months.
Im guessing that after March of 2014 we will be back to normal and quoting 3-4 months again, Im keeping my fingers crossed.
Here is the good news, the parts we are receiving in 2-3 weeks will be the new handguard models, there are slight changes to the upper as well (very slight)
Here are pics of the approved prototype pre-anodizing.
Thanks guys
