Re: XLR Chassis Stock
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> probably 2 more weeks , because the buffer tubing delays, so at 11 weeks. Everybody so polite, and happy to not getting in time what they ordered. I understand other companies has a longer order period, but it was promised 6 weeks, and after 7 weeks, no it will 11 weeks. When cnc machine shops take more orders than what are capable of this is exactly what happen. The buffer tubing is made by a different shop , so it isn't Kyle fault, but If this would happen with me, I would push it more or would find a different "tube maker " shop to keep my schedule tight for my customers.I wanted to take my dad to the range to try my rifle, and because this delays I can't do it because he will fly back to home, and I don't think I will have a chance in the near future to let him try it. I'm kinda upset and make my stomach moving when I'm reading all of those "honey sucker" post how wonderful is the delay , and it is not a problem. It is a problem, and I know Kyle is a nice guy , and he makes perfect chassis , but I was hoping I will get in time what was promised..</div></div>
First let me say that I'm sorry that you and your dad couldn't take the new chassis out shooting. I lost my dad last year and shooting is something that we did together that I miss dearly.
With that out of the way, Kyle is about as stand-up a guy as exists and will do whatever is in his power to satisfy his customers. I had a problem with my chassis bolting up due to having a timed and trued reciever that was shorter than a Savage spec'd reciever. Kyle fixed the problem free of charge and in a VERY timely manner. Didn't even ask me to pay return shipping, all for something that WAS NOT his fault.
As far as getting a alternate supplier on board, well that is an option but not as easily realized as some might think. I'm sure that he has an agreement for the parts that he contracts out. With that agreement a price is established, I assume, that factors into the cost of the chassis and his profits. Going to another supplier may throw his pricing out of whack or erode his profit margin. And that is if he can find an alternate supplier in the midst of performing other operations within his company.
I'm just trying to open peoples eyes and let them know that I'd be totally suprised if Kyle wasn't doing everything in his power, and within reason, to get chassis' out to his customers.
For what its worth I understand that it's easy for me to say this as I already have my chassis.
Just my two cents, I hope that everyone waiting on a chassis get's them soon. You won't be disappointed in the product.
