This is still happening today his website shows 4 week lead time I just cancelled my order after 12 weeks and a month of him telling me “one more week”. Called Joel at Terminus and gave him my money instead!

I did this and I'm mad that I didn't go with a Joel to begin with!
I asked Joel and he said he is having trouble keeping up so he is at 4-6 weeks. I made sure to let him know others are at 4-6 months and to keep up the great work.
I'm still in no hurry as my barrel I ordered from straight jacket in August is still a month or two out
I spoke with Joel directly he has great customer service. I had great luck with my vector but horrible customer service trying to expand my collection

You can’t go wrong with a Zeus and terminus as a company. My next action order is going to be a Zeus his turn around time is just too fast for me right now as I wont be able to pick it up when he would ship it so I’m waiting some before I order. He is always quick to reply and a veteran owned business.
I’m about to order two more actions from Joel @ Terminus. They are that good.
I'm running a Terminus Zeus Gen1 (I didn't even know there was a Gen1/Gen2 thing and wasn't told this when I ordered).
It's basically a Vector with a few machining tweaks such as some rounding off of bolt lugs
I was pretty shocked when it arrived and was a 0.750" bolt and old style trigger pins, not 0.725" bolt body and threaded trigger pins. The reason I actually chose it over a Vector.
Anyway, do I like it? YES, enough that I just took delivery of a second one.
The action is slick and the 60deg throw is a delight (to me).
AICS mags with BR kits, as well as using the MPA Mag Block inserts in my MPA BA chassis and 6BRX runs sweet.
AW mags definitely drag across top of 0.750 bolt body, even with mag block inserts. I can see why this would be an issue with a Vector.
I'm assuming the Gen2 Zeus with 0.725 bolt runs AW smoother?
I've tried both hand torqued and using an action wrench and torque wrench to fit barrels - my barrels were machined to "hand torque" tenon spec.
I don't note any real difference in chambering.
I do choose to use torque and action wrench method then tightening set screws on the Zeus to fit barrels. Kinda reassuring when creating 58,000psi in front of my face.
Also, I figure if you are fireforming 6BRX/6Dasher etc if I torque my barrel versus you hand tighten yours it may mean my formed brass shoulder may be say one or two thou shorter than yours, but so what. It's brass made for my chamber so I don't see an issue.
Just my theory

Curtis customer service sucks. Get a terminus. Just my opinion.
Just saw this. No i did not get my action. Credit card co actually came through on the dispute so i am whole now. Just wanted to try the short bolt throw was all. Got a deal on a used Cadex sheepdog based rifle which has a short throw. Initial impressions are good.
