A buddy of mine ordered an OBR and a bunch of related goodies in mid-October and was given an estimated delivery date of mid-December. Anybody know what the current actual wait times are? Thanks in advance.

ive heard 4-6 weeks.
seems like for some the wait is way longer, for others its on time or shorter |
|
I think I remember reading that with SHOT coming up its going to slow the times down a bit.

Quoted: ive heard 4-6 weeks. seems like for some the wait is way longer, for others its on time or shorter Hmm, my buddy is pushing 12 weeks at this point. I'll tell him to give a call. |

Ordered my 556 OBR in November and had it before Christmas. Trick is, you have to send $100 bill as a tip!
I would love a 762 OBR.....maybe someday soon....OR if they have the hybrid... |
|
Ordered my OBR at the range day. Was told 6-8 weeks. It's been 10 weeks and was told AGAIN today, 2 more weeks...at least.
Getting tired of waiting. |

I ordered mine today and was quoted 12 - 14 weeks. Stupid range day orders.
|
|
I was told 6 weeks when I ordered mine, but I realized that this was optimistic. Good things come to those who wait
Btw, anybody know what "regulated" means in the order status? |

Any new news? My buddy is at 15 weeks with no word. Tell him to pickup the phone. |

Well, at least you have an order placed. What I want I can't even order yet.
|

Range day PredatAR 556 order still 3-4 weeks out... info fresh from Leander today.
At least I got the 7.62 quickly...
|
|
Heck...I bought one from EE and be done with it. Sure, it's used for couple hundreds rds, but I looked it as my friend shooting it. |

Ordered my 16" 556 OBR on Jan 23 and it just shipped 2 days ago. Tracking says its here on Monday... Wondering if I should call in sick now or wait till Monday.
|
|
What?! I ordered my 16 inch OBR 5.56 on 31 Jan and was told 14-16 weeks. I hope it takes that long, I wont be back from deployment til the end of May and don't want it sitting in my gun store very long.
|
|
Any idea what they're assembling? I'd like a 20" .308, but if I order it in and it doesn't ship until May, I'll just wait until fall. I'd step down to an 18" if I knew those were shipping faster.

Everyone I know who is waiting has 16" and 18" 7.62 OBR's on order. I've been waiting since range day. |

I'm not planning on running and gunning with it anyway. |

wow ?? Really
Cause I'm looking to place an order for one once the $$$ transfer. And w/ the 14-16wk wait should arrive just in time for my 40th |

Looks like I am in the process of cancelling an order for a 18" 5.56 predatar today. Order was placed first of December and today I was told I may or may not see it by April.
Some guy at the plant told me they have a big .mil contract in house. Understandably, civilian orders are on the back burner. Talked to my dealer a few minutes ago. Told him if he gets the same story, just cancel the thing. Hated to do so, wife ordered that rifle as my Christmas present. She was more excited to see it arrive than I even was. I needed to have it shipped and ready to shoot the TX 3 gun championship in April. Now I have to go another route. Dang! |

18" OBR 762 at1 6 weeks and counting...
Alfred is on vacation until next week. |

Looks like i will be waiting it out and going with what I have for the big match. |

I've had to wait on longer than quoted on 2 out of 3 of my LT rifles so far, and have no regrets at all... I will say that being more proactive in updating folks on their orders when they go beyond the time quoted would be a good thing, both for the customer, but probably them too... I have no problem waiting, particularly if it is for parts out of their control, or orders for our warfighters, but commo is king! |

When you guys ordered do they charge the full amount to the card that day or do they charge when they are ready to ship?

Ordered my 7.62 18" Predator on 12/8. Picked it up today and am very happy. Will place my order for a 5.56 next week. Sometimes it's hard to be patient––in this case, it has been worth it. My only regret? I was hoping it would ship with steak seasoning––I cant get enough of that stuff!

I ordered my 16in OBR 5.56 on 31 Jan. It was delivered to my FFL on 23 Feb. Unfortunately, I can't pick it up until May when I return from Afghanistan. (yes, I know the rules. I will post picks as soon as I get it)
