I just wanted to take a second and let everyone know where we were at these days. We have been really busy and I have been really distant on this site for the most part. We have had our nose to the grind stone for the last 6 months. Our wait times on complete builds were approaching 11 months. At this point we are in the 6-7 month range on a new complete build and still closing.
My primary focus has been on the "work" list which consists of action truing, barrel jobs, thread jobs etc. That's primarily all I have been personally working on while everyone else worked on the complete guns. At this point bedding jobs are around 2-3 weeks, coatings are 1-2 weeks, bolt knobs under a week, and action truing and barrel jobs are around 120 days. My goal is getting the barrel jobs under 45 days if we have a barrel in stock or it's supplied. We are closing in on that fast.
New additions:
We have two new additions to our shop that most are not familiar with.
#1 would be my brother Chad. Chad is running all the coatings and has been training on the machine for about 8 months now.
#2 is Jason. Jason was honed by his grandfather a master tool and die maker. His skills and attention to detail are off the chart.
These two additions to the team and some new machinery are bringing our wait times down. While Dave and I have been working over time like mad men on barrels, these guys have been taking up the slack in other areas. I just wanted to let everyone know where we were at and where we are going. Within a month or so we should have the barrel jobs where I want them. With quality our number one goal at all times we will continue to shorten the leash day by day to serve you guys the best we can.
Thank you all for your business and support.
