THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I've been away from the forum for a while and with all my searching I couldn't see when the NDS-16A1 lowers will be available. The web site says February, but that has passed and I haven't seen any posts about them. Anyone know when they'll be for sale? Dustin |

No firm date on the A1's yet.
We have to finish processing the XM's and 601's we have orders for first. I will post updates when I have them. We are machining all remaining A1 forgings we have in-house (around 300). I can say with certainty that there will be blems for sale. And that we have a PO in for another 1000 forgings. |

What is in line after the A1s Mike? I am waiting on my XMs, I had ordered 601s but they ran out, emailed Harlan and he changed the order to XMs. I hope to order an A1 and then some 601s again.

Man, some of you guys are getting way too pushy with the "When will they be ready" & the "Any updates?" questions.
 Mike puts out a great product for us & is extremely busy trying to fulfill our every needs. Without Mike & NDS, where would we all be with our Retro builds still? Likely behind the controls of a Dremil tool. So please just give the man a chance to breath a little.
I too, am wanting a NDS-16A1 lower but will wait patiently till he announces the go ahead, then it will be on like Donkey Kong!! But until then keep up the good work NDS, & thanks for all you have done for the Retro community. |

What I think it boils down to is that some of us don't know how many receivers will be available, how long they will be available, how the whole thing really works. I need a gray and black A1 lowers to complete builds. Not all of us can drop cash in the mail on a spur of the moment so that could be some of it too.

One thing I've been wondering about: How do you handle idiots that are too stupid to follow directions, or wiseguys that try to game the system by sending in early orders? I hope you send their orders back to them "postage due"! EDIT - I'm not referring to ANY of the above posters as idiots, OK, so nobody take offense! But knowing human nature, I would suspect there must have been attempts to jump ahead in the que. Hopefully, those devious and misbegotten efforts are not rewarded. |
