It took 5-6 months to get mine too and that was at the begining of last year before all the craziness. I'm sure they are working hard to fill the orders, nothing but good things to say about the team at AXTS they are good people. It's nice that they keep you in the loop from the start to finish of the process, I know the waits a killer but it's worth it, believe me.

My two MRP/AXTS builds in progress. (Barrels cut from 14.5" to 11.5" and dimpled by Marvin Pitts...waiting on SBR approval before assembly.)
Cerakote color is FDE

I'm worried sick about getting mine. I just ordered in the middle of December so there's no way I could expect my lower from AXTS for at least another 90 days. I wish those guys would give updates on how soon they can get the product out. Yeah, I share your pain. Ordered mine on February 4.  I'm optimistic, nervous too.

Bump for the folks that should be getting their lowers veerrrryyyy soon
Another picture and I think I might actually be able to say I'm done now. Added a Vickers sling and sold the Aimpoint for a Trijicon SRS. It does make me a bit sad that it's this heavy, but I absolutely love it. Field of view is incredible and it really helps when I come up on the gun since I'm cross dominant. Much smaller in person than it seems in pictures...apologies for the crappy cell pic

Are you featuring the sling or the AXTS AX-556?
 The sling covers much of the receiver.
We sent AXTS a big box of selectors in a hurry, that usually happens when the receivers are rushing out the door 
Which selector did you go with, 90 or 45 degree?

They are shipping mine tomorrow. There were some communication errors on their part. They didn't know that I had already paid via check, and for a short while I was told to get mine they way I wanted (custom engraving markings) I would have to wait another 2 months until the next batch was done. After explaining again what it was that I wanted, they said that they had it and there was no problem. I'm guessing they have overloaded themselves with orders.

my order >350, shipping tomorrow. they're missing some internal pieces, but abe wanted to get them out sooner rather than later... im sure it's bc some folks are getting kinda antsy in their pantsy, but he said he wants to get them out before any legislation passes.
either way, i cant wait! |

Received mine last night. I'm glad they made the decision to send them out sans metal parts. Makes me feel more comfortable knowing I have it in-hand in case of any grandfathering legislation.

The rest of the build is sitting on a table waiting for a short barrel and a pistol buffer.
My order was lower than the 490 guy earlier in this page. They are somewhere between his 490 and 550 order.

Obviously have to wait for the metal parts from them still. In any case I put it together partially.

I'm getting pretty excited. I'm order #568 which was place on 12/27. So far I have a DD 14.5" LW barrel and a Noveske 13.5" NSR. I just found a Vltor MUR upper that I'll be sending payment for. I still need a BCG. Anyone? I'm thinking about just backordering a Fail Zero and waiting.

Raizo, when did you place your order? I'm in the high 600s, just hit my 60 day mark. Wondering how much longer I have to wait, kinda anxious. I have nearly everything else for the build.

In all honesty you've probably got another 60 days at least...perhaps another 100. Almost everyone in this thread waited 5-6 months for their lowers. It seems like they are starting to turn out more each run though so times might be going down. |

Mine was 253. Waiting for the parts from AXTS is turning out to be tougher than waiting for the actual lower.

Damn...if you were all the way down in the mid 200s and there are people up in the 400s getting theirs as well I'd say production is ramping up indeed.

The serial is low 200s also. What are the serials of the guys in the 400s? If the order numbers include the people buying Raptors that would account for a lot of it.

I think it includes a few, but for the most part I think those are lower orders since they recently suspended Raptor sales direct from their website. I think I saw someone say they had a 39X lower. |

Order 460. SN in the 230's
Don't know if the SN and orders coincide. I'm sure they just fill orders in the order of placement with whichever lower is closest to them. Waited 13weeks for delivery. Ordered mine the week before the Connecticut crap. Sn13

Yeah btm, I called in Jan when I ordered mine because I wanted the BAD CASS-ST rather than the BAD ASS-ST and he told me they were about 60 to 90 days lead time. He did tell me they were bringing a few more machines on line to help speed up production.
