I ordered GAP-10 Jan 24 2013. I received notice my rifle is complete Jan 16, 2014 and ready for delivery. Just FYI for those in that crazy Jan ordering time.
For those of you at GA Precision that read this. I sincerely applaud you for *NOT* rushing orders for the sake of pushing rifles out the door!! If people can't figure out that when they order a made-to-order rifle, in these political climates of weapons, that it'll take some time, they should just get a shelf gun. So, THANK YOU, George and crew for keeping to your standards and making some of the sweetest supersonic lead slingers out there!!!

Talked with Noveske at Shot, switch blocks will be shipped in the next 2 weeks. If your Jan 2013 order was made with a switch block it is probably done but waiting on this one part. This will have some Early Feb orders with the standard block passing up January switchblock orders. Sorry Guys its out of my control but were doing our best.

George, can you expound on the issue with Noveske a bit more? Any idea why orders made a year ago are being held up by a single part that a supplier should have been able to source or make within that year? I have a hard time believing that switchblocks from a single supplier are THAT in demand. I'm not pointing the finger at GA, because your explanation is backed up by my own sources at SHOT. It just seems like totally BS service from a supplier that they can't deliver a part in the original 6 months much less a year+.
Also is there another supplier of a similar part that could be substituted for the Noveske? Is there something magical about a Noveske SB what makes the GAP more accurate? It just seems to me that at some point, someone at GAP might have thought to themselves..... "I'm going to have a LOT of pissed of folks that have been waiting on a rifle for over a year because of one small part. Maybe there are alternative sources out there that are just as good". Or is Noveske a single point of failure?
Thanks for the heads up George,
Will you be getting enough Noveske blocks to run out February orders as well?

There is a standing order for the noveske parts, alot of companies use them. And last year there was a 700% increase in sales of AR parts for the months of Dec12, Jan 13, and Feb 13, march was 300% its not even possible for all those companies to just increase productions to those levels. like I said we are doing the best that can be done. I understand the frustration but its just as frustrating being able to do nothing about it. There is not a substitute for the block they have a patent that protects it. Noveske said they will be delivered in a couple weeks, I believe them! There are enough parts in this order to complete Jan- And February orders. there are more parts from them on order backing that up.
This discussion is fairly good too:

Switchblock is only useful if your running a suppressor, otherwise it's a waste of $$.

George, what is the best way to get an estimate for a build? Thanks in advance.
Ok, I keep checking this thread. Man, my 12 month is fast approaching and I keep thinking this is the week I'll get a call for my can. Anyone besides me, getting more anxious as time goes on?
Ok...I have been really...really...really....really, patient. I am not one to whine and moan. BUT...I have had a gap10 on order since Feb 12th last year. I have nothing special ordered for this rifle. No switch block. No fluting. Nothing really additional than the basic .308 gap10. I was quoted 8-10 months delivery. Its quickly nearing a year wait now. I have not whined about it, as I know there are others that are also waiting beyond the original quoted delivery. But, I have to ask...with nothing out of the ordinary that others are waiting for, is there any part or parts that could be holding my order up??
Secondly...a buddy of mine and myself placed an order for a 6 Creedmoor bolt gun via re-barrel within 2 days of each other. The only thing I ordered that my buddy did not, was cerekote of the stock parts. My buddy got his rifle 3 weeks ago today. What gives? I am pretty patient and granted, I do not have a competition I am needing my rifles for by deadline. But, I really cant understand why I am waiting now going on a month longer for the exact same rifle when I placed my order exactly 2 days after he placed his order for the exact same rifle.
I understand that there is a high demand and orders are coming as quickly as they can. I just hope that I have not slipped through the crack somewhere. I know GAP makes the highest quality rifles and they are worth their wait, which is why I remain patient and have mostly been quietly waiting. But, it would be really nice to get some kind of update of where my rifles are at in the build process.
Any help guys?

Thank you for such quick response, George! I will remain patient. And, I have no doubts whatsoever that I will be happy with the rifle work. The quality of the work has never been a question
with me. I just want to go shoot!!
