GAP Production Rifle

What info are you looking for? Should just be normal 419 accessories for regular or slightly less than regular pricing.
They will be making their money on accessories and rebarrels on this one.
Value of the gun aside, didn’t I read somewhere that few people shoot production class. is the thought that the extra 500 increase can lead to more guns like this and people will shoot production class?
Just placed a preorder for one in 6cm. It is under the Ready to Ship Rifles.
$1k down, starts shipping 3/1.

Any word if the Gladius action is the Ruckus private labelled for GAP?
This rifle presents alot of value, in my opinion.

same. 6 CM for me. I don't think I'll buy an optic specifically to go under the PRS production price tree. I'm leaning towards another R2 4.5-27 or NX8 4-32, but there are so many great choices. What i really want is the NF7-35, but that is a lot of coin and would greatly depreciate my fun money fund in 2020.
I would mark 5 or gen 2 razor. Think you can find both of those used at a decent price
someone had said it was the price in the market not MSRP which are often inflated...my apologies
when I spoke to GAP last night I was told they would have an accessory package as an add on in the next couple of days. it was indicated this would include a muzzle device and rail (probably an arca) and at least some items could be added a-le-carte near the time of your rifle's completion as long as there was understanding this would cause a minimal shipping delay.
I spoke to them last week and got in a little early. I added a few things but it was more a la carte. Since then ive heard of maybe a package. Just was curios to what people were doing. I will get back ahold of them and maybe make a few changes.
For some reason, I had an issue at checkout online- I called and Ken got my name on one over the phone.
i left a voicemail and was called back the same day. (Monday). when I was on the phone I placed my pre-order
Gotcha. I know hes their head sales guy. I know when ya call it just gives 2 of their sales guys as options. Not that they are bad or dont know there stuff! Don't mean that at all. Just know everyone talks about ken. Would love to pick his brain about a couple things
I can’t wait to buy one of these used from one of you guys! ?
BigPrince, good info. I recommended this rifle to a friend. I see now they have the old school sling swivels on the bottom of the pictured rifle. I am definitely telling him to go with flush cups for his sling.
GAP isn't just a couple guy's in a garage "trying" to get started
A. I know that
B. I still stand by what I said. I know how to run a mfg business pretty well.
c. You sound like you don't have a clue about the importance of cash flow to a business
I’m guessing this is why they have an order cutoff and delivery a couple months later.
Work it out ahead of time with vendors they will be bulk ordering soon. Get orders with $1500 down and then pay for the amount they need.
Again, assuming here. But I doubt they have it all just sitting around.
Something like this without payment up front that covers a lot of the material cost is how you get a ton of cancelled orders and stuck with product.
I doubt they have the parts on hand yet and have worked this out far in advance not to need to put up a ton of cash up front before having down payment protection.

They didn’t. But I’m almost sure it will be the 419 rail and adapter and likely close to normal retail. They got make money somewhere.
I think it’s more of an ask for upgrade options than an actual kit at this point.
I was listening to the Shooting USA podcast (episode 88) with George Gardner and Jason Hornady and they briefly talked about this rifle. Similar to what you said, they collaborated with vendors, will get components in, build in March, then start shipping. Very generalized summary, but the discussion on the rifle was brief.
no word yet (order placed Jan 27) and I'm not sure where I'm in the queue. what date did they begin taking pre-orders?
The video said shipping from March 1st to April 1st. I have a feeling that the run was 100. I don’t have any info to back that up, but a guess. I ordered the weds after shot show and when I got the call, Jeremy said they had already sold half of the run.
I got an email yesterday about confirming final option details like ARCA rail, muzzle brake, etc. Maybe that means they are getting closer to shipping.
