We have about 2500 more forged uppers to build on a contract and then we will be offering our brand. We have a bunch of standard billet uppers to build first.
Thank you to everyone for sticking out the long wait times. It was impossible to see that coming and logistically it was a nightmare to sort out. We are up to 34 employees now and have been running 24/7 since January 2nd. We are soooo out grown in our existing building. We were able to purchase some land and will begin building the new facility in a couple of weeks. Hopefully move in there around mid December 
Keep up the good work, Glen (and all the fine folks at Seekins).
Glad to hear that things are continuing to grow and develop for you/Seekins Precision. There is a reason that I, and many others, consider you to be at the pinnacle of the industry and your innovation, incredible products and customer service are a shining example for all to follow!
P.S. - Rob01...I did manage to get my SP3R 15" "colored up" as we discussed in your Seekins thread. Not quite as "purdy" as the S&W red, but it looks damned good if I do say so myself. I'll get pics up this weekend hopefully when I can swipe the camera away from the wife. Thanks again for the nudge to do it.

Glen, it is great to see your business continue to grow and prosper. Best of luck with your future expansion!!!
Also many thanks for the exceptional customer service and turnaround your company provides. I called Michelle with an issue regarding one of the original Sniper's Hide lowers from over 4 years ago and she had an email with an RA to me within five minutes. Kudos to you and all your employees for a job well done!!!

Anyone getting their complete rifle orders shipped with an iRMT-3 upper and Magpul UBR stock? Coming up on 10 months since I ordered mine. I hate waiting.
Seekins really needs to work on their customer service. What is this whole keeping their customers informed garbage? You're supposed to just sit back, take people's money, and sue when someone says something you don't like.

But really when I move out of this state, I'm buying a Seekins billet upper and lower. I know they aren't technically "matched", but do they have a matched fit?

In my experience...YES, they do have a "matched" fit. In fact, my most recent SP223 billet lower and iRMT-3 upper were so tight at first that it was difficult to get the takedown pin in/out, but after some "break-in" they are still tight, but smooth as glass to run the pin now. Definitely worth the money and it helps knowing the quality of the people and service behind the scenes too!! Glen and co. are first class all the way!
Yes, they are a matched fit, as ORD mentioned. That's one of the reasons Glen started making uppers/lowers, to ensure they would fit together properly unlike so many other "mil spec" uppers and lowers.
Checking back in again, anyone getting their complete rifle orders shipped with an iRMT-3 upper and Magpul UBR stock? Coming up on 14 months since I ordered mine. I hate waiting.
I'm not sure what most people feel is a "match fit", but I'm a little disappointed in my upper/lower fit. I have approximately .008 gap between my upper and lower. Although, the gun functions fine, I don't like seeing light between the two assemblies. Also, there is a considerable amount of rocking back and forth. I will say that the machining and finish are second to none. Oh well, at least JP makes a tension pin to tighten the fit...
Just to note, I'm not bashing Seekins. I would purchase another upper and lower without hesitation.
Kind regards,
Jared

Didn't the jam nut that came with the Seekins help with that? If I hold mine up to a light I can just barely see a bit shining through. There's no longitudinal play at all and just a slight bit side-to-side if I grasp the handguard and try to rotate the buttstock...not something that would happen while firing.
Yes, the tension screw did help. Although, it doesn't eliminate the problem...it just puts a little tension on the upper. Call me a stickler, but I don't like to see light through an upper/lower....and I think it gives an opportunity to let dirt and dust into the lower. The JP tension pin actually pulls the two assemblies together for a tight fit.
Kind regards,
Jared
If I look real hard, I can enough for a piece of paper to slip between the upper and lower. No much at all. If you play in the sand pit, maybe the Adcor BEAR elite is more suited. Or an AK. I have not had any problems with rocking, flex or dirt. The tool has served me very well.
