I placed an order last night for a mid length kit, what are shipping estimates these days? I remember after the election wait time were 4-6 months.

We're doing much better than that now! We've caught up, for the most part!
As long as everything is in stock, we're shipping within a few days now. If something isn't in stock we'll send you an email and let you know.
Hope that helps!

Awesome! I remember ordering one some time ago and it was 4 months roughly. Thanks for the info, might have to order another one this friday!

The long wait is what stopped me from ordering online before. I too just ordered a kit and am happy to hear about the quicker shipping.

Mine arrived on the 30th. Everything in the kit. You need to call them if something is missing. I'm sure they'll take care of you.

They absolutly will! Some of the best customer service in the industry... I was quick to jump the gun once when I was missing a part, fired off an email, then noticed 5 mins later that another part was missing... ended up sending 3 seperate emails, cause I'm a dork, and they had the missing parts to me super fast! no questions asked.. That is the reason they are the only place I will order kits from... I think I am up to 9 once this last order gets in... I have a problem... wonder if there is a group called AAAR...lol

Wow, you guys got your stuff quick. I ordered on 11/26 and don't even have a tracking number yet. No worries though, I'm sure it'll ship soon.

there are two different issues here.

i ordered mine in july. it took 4 days

you guys talking about the black friday sale, are going to have to understand that Del Ton is swamped now and you may have to wait if you have a custom order. it wont be too long, but certainly not 4 days.

Maybe parts are out of stock or on back order. Seems to be a lot of chatter about midlengths...

I ordered on 11-26 and am hoping to get my parts in time to build my dad his Christmas present. He turned 80 on Dec 7 and wanted a .204. I didnt think I could get it by his birthday on the 7th from the 26th but I really hope I can get it all done in a month. My last kit from Del Ton was this summer too and it took about a week from order to the door.

Just called them to order more parts and they said they don't have any barrels for the kit I ordered on the 26th, so it'll probably be a while :( :( Hopefully it'll be here before the new year.

I'm not rubbing it in or anything, but today's range session with my wifes Christmas 2010 gift went very well. I just had to shoot a few hundred rounds through it before giving it to her. It was flawless and looks beautiful. I cant wait till she opens it up on Christmas morning.

just got an update on my order via email. The 1x7 mid CL barrel is in the process of being chromed, phospated and ported. Might be a few weeks. Won't arrive before Christmas

Yep I just heard the same thing. She said it may ship out just after Christmas.
Del-Ton  [Industry Partner]

Ok, I've been a little slack about letting y'all know what is going on. Soooooo, we are in the process of sending mid-length molys to the shop. The middys 1x7, 1x9 chrome-lined are at the chromers'. We are getting H-bars in very soon. The LWs are out at chroming and some at phosphate. They are running dissipators now, then I think more 20".

We are currently entering in orders from 12/2. We are putting as much as we can in the shop for building. I think that November builds are pretty close to being shipped, if we can build them to ship them. We aren't guaranteeing anything before Christmas at this point, but I promise you we are working hard to get the parts in, built, and shipped.

Thanks for your patience!!!! I hope that helps a little.

Thanks for the update. I don't even have a lower to put it on yet...this way I can put off buying one until maybe after Christmas when I have more money
Not in a hurry and I realize you guys are probably pretty busy with Christmas coming up.

We are suppose to be back tomorrow, but we got 6-8" of snow. Not many can drive in this condition in these parts. Not to mention I'm sure our parking lot is a scary disaster. I'm sure some of us will try to make it in tomorrow, but if you call and there is no answer, that is why. I HATE SNOW!!
