I have a Rugged Obsidian 45 on back order. Any idea when you guys might receive them? Many thanks....
|
|
We are receiving batches every 2-4 weeks. Just waiting on the ATF to approve the form 3's.
|
|
Because we have a lot of backorders on them. Once it clears out a bit we will open it back up.
|
|
|
I would guess about 4 weeks to let about half of the back orders clear out.
|
|
SilencerShop folk(s). This raises a couple related questions:
Thanks. |
|
Lots of questions so if I miss something or need to clarify let me know.
The silencers are on form 3 to Silencer Shop and then we form 3 them to your FFL. The manufacturer doesn't form direct to the FFL's. Great idea on the transfer page. I will pass that up the chain. Your Obsidian is one of the first back ordered based on your order time so it should be within the next 2 weeks or so. The ATF approved over 1500 forms to us in one day. On top of that it was about 4 weeks earlier than the previous form 4's. As you can imagine we are working hard to catch up on the form 4's that need to go out from that batch. They should all be done this week for sure but if you send me your order number I'll bump you to the front of the line. |

The F3 procedure makes sense, I was just hoping for the faster path. :)
I think you misunderstood me about the transfer page. Either that or I'm misunderstanding you. I meant to ask when a backordered suppressor would show up on the transfer page. Is it when you submit the F3 to our FFL (as happens with a non-backordered can), get F3 approval, or send in the F4. Or are you suggesting that the F3 status from the manufacturer to you could also go on the transfer page, because that would be awesome. On the approved F3, while I'd love to be front of the line, I can wait my turn. It's only been since yesterday, so I'll just be sure to bug you if I don't see it go through this week. Thanks for the quick response. One final(?) question. What's your backlog look like for the Griffin Checkmate QD? |
|
For the F3 I was talking about adding it to the transfer page. I'll pass it along but it might not happen anytime soon.
For the Checkmates they should be here either this week or next. You want to back order one because they won't last. |
|
I placed a backorder for an Obsidian 45 back on 1/11/16. Do you think I will be seeing a serial number assigned pretty soon or am I pretty far down on the backorder list?
|
|
You are close to the top of the list. It depends on how long the ATF takes to approve the form 3 as to when they come in.
|
|
Sounds like there were a bunch of us that back ordered the Obsidian, as I placed my order on 1/7/16 as well.
|
|
January 15th for me, the date of 41F.
Maybe I should shift over to a Griffin Armament Revolution M? Looks like they're in stock. |
|
Glad you guys posted this I ordered on 1/7/16 also and was starting to wonder.
I feel better knowing orders in the same time frame are in the same status. Its my seventh trip throught the NFA roller coaster but never had a backordered item. I think we should all still make the window we before it closes. |

View Quote Agreed, knowing others in the same order time frame as me are still waiting makes me feel better. |

Oooooo. The Obsidian is "backorderable" again, previously it said "out of stock".
Maybe some units came in and MY backorder (1/15/2016) will be filled! |
|
Just curious but how is pricing set for the different dealers, is that dealer driven? When I backordered my Obsidian from Cold Hand Arms I paid $799 but now they have it listed for $654 is that due to different shipments? |
|
Yes it's decided by the Powered by dealer.
$654 is the base price if you leave the zip code blank and once you enter your location all the powered by dealers are listed. There can be a variance in local dealer prices but not in my area. I've seen other powered by dealer in other states offering it for under $700. Seems kinda high to me at 799 that's why I haven't ordered it through my powered by dealer |
|
Yes the dealer has control of the price. They could change the price everyday if they wanted.
Also several customers have called their local Powered By dealers and had them change the prices. |

View Quote I would assume it's probably too late for me since I've already placed the order? I might go stop by this weekend and see what they say. |
|
That would be your best bet. We can't do anything on our end.

FYI for those that back ordered Obsidian 45's.
I back ordered my Obsidian 45 on 1/11/2016. I just got notification from Silencer Shop that I got a serial number assigned. Now the wait begins.... |
|
|
Back ordered mine on 1/22 and got my serial number today too.
|
|
When we know that the next batch is close to being approved. We prefer not to do backorders but the climate of the industry right now makes it almost a necessity.

View Quote Do dealers get some extra details about approvals? Or is your "knowing of closeness" based on recent approval times for other batches? Just curious of the process. |
|
We know the exact dates that the forms are filed and also how long form 3's are taking based on previous orders. Form 3's fluctuate between 2-8 weeks for approval so it's not a big gap. We receive shipments every week so we have a good idea of how long they are taking.

I need one of these before 41F. I've joined the waiting list, is this prioritized or do we just get a notification and first in first served?

View Quote According to this 2013 SS blog post, waitlist people get 24 hours after notification to accept or pass. But I have a feeling this is outdated as I seem to remember people reporting within the past year or two that they received in stock notifications but were too late when they went to buy them later in the day. I also seem to remember a temporary glitch where some didn't receive notifications at all. I may be wrong, but if I'm not, it is just an in stock notification list. I feel your pain. I think I add 50+ Obsidian page hits a day on my own just randomly refreshing throughout the day |

I placed a backorder on march 23 for an Obsidian. Any idea of how long I could be waiting? I'm hoping to outrun 41p...

According to Rugged we will get another shipment in well within the time to be submitted before 41F.
