What is the wait time on a grey nds m16-a1 lower?
|
|
|
Once a pre-order is placed (no payment taken at time of pre-order), we are estimating a wait of 6-8 months for an available receiver.
We are currently out of lower receiver forgings for NDS-16A1's; there is an order in place for more forgings, and the earliest we will receive forgings is late September. We expect to have an opening for CNC work when the forgings are delivered to NDS. Each CNC machining run takes about three weeks, and we will then prep and send NDS-16A1 lower receivers out for gray (or occasionally black) anodizing. Batches are sent out for anodizing about every 7-10 days. We are currently working on pre-orders taken in January, 2017 for gray anodized NDS-16A1 lower receivers. Thanks. Harlan NoDak Spud LLC |

We are currently doing CNC machining (in house) for the NDS-16A1 lower receivers. This machining run is expected to be completed by the end of December, 2017. We will then begin to process machined NDS-16A1 lower receivers for anodizing. We will do a few gray anodizing batches, and then do a black anodizing batch or two. We will begin to contact customers about gray anodized NDS-16A1 lower receivers towards the end of January, 2018, in order to re-confirm orders. Pre-orders go back to January, 2017. Thanks for your patience. Harlan NoDak Spud LLC |

We just completed prepping a batch of the just machined NDS-16A1 lower receivers, and have shipped the receivers to U.S. Anodizing for gray anodizing work. This batch is expected back at NDS in the early part of February. We will then do final inspection, and do the contact work with customers who are waiting with pre-orders. Emails and calls are the methods we use to contact customers. Thanks. Harlan NoDak Spud LLC |

A batch of gray anodized NDS-16A1 lower receivers is expected to arrive at our facility by the end of the week. We have already notified those customers with orders for gray NDS-16A1 lower receivers that we think we can fill with this batch. Harlan NoDak Spud LLC |

We now have fully machined (in the white) NDS-16A1 lower receivers and NDS-603 upper receivers in house (for the first time in about seven months). This will allow us to begin a heavy emphasis of sending out prepped batches of these lowers and uppers for anodizing (mostly in gray, but occasionally in black). Pre-orders go back to January, 2017 but we will steadily be working to whittle down this built up back order list. Those with pre-orders with us will be contacted (by phone and/or email) as we get close to having available receivers for orders. For those that get contacted and no longer want to make the purchase, it is very helpful to us if you respond and simply say you no longer are interested in making a purchase. We can then go on to the next customers in line. Those customers who have NDS-XM16E1 lowers and NDS-603 uppers on order, you will have to wait until we get caught up with NDS-16A1 lower receivers, by order date. Harlan NoDak Spud LLC |

Earlier this week we sent out for gray anodizing a batch of NDS-16A1 lower receivers and NDS-603 upper receivers. These are the first NDS-603 uppers we have sent out from the most recently machined batch. All customers whose orders we expect to be able to fill from this batch of lowers and uppers have been contacted by email, in order to re-confirm the order and also to get more order information. This batch should be back to us as anodized parts in about ten days. We expect to send out another batch of NDS-16A1 lowers and NDS-603 uppers next week for gray anodizing. More customers will be contacted. Harlan NoDak Spud LLC |

A batch of gray anodized NDS-16A1 lower receivers and gray anodized NDS-603 upper receivers passed through final inspection last Friday (2/23/2018). As many orders as possible were filled and shipped from this batch of receivers. The customers with these orders have been notified of the ship outs. We are expecting another batch of gray anodized NDS-16A1 lowers and NDS-603 uppers to arrive back from anodizing during the first full week of March. Customers who we think we can fill their orders have been contacted for re-confirmation of the orders. Harlan NoDak Spud LLC |

We recently received a batch of gray anodized NDS retro lower and upper receivers. All of the cosmetic first grade receivers went to already taken orders. The filled orders were taken in March of 2017. We are preparing another batch of NDS retro lower and upper receivers this week to be shipped to US Anodizing for gray anodizing. This batch should be back to us during the third week of April. Customers whose orders can be filled from this batch have been contacted. We have a few available gray anodized NDS-16A1 lower receivers and NDS-603 upper receivers with minor anodizing flaws.

Another batch of NDS gray anodized lower receivers has been graded. Customers whose orders we can fill have been notified. These orders were originally taken in April and May of 2017. We will begin soon to prepare another batch of NDS lower and upper receivers for gray anodizing. The beginning of this process has been slightly delayed because we are grading through a batch of NDS-WM mag bodies. All of these mag bodies were originally parkerized, and then media blasted and black oxided because of corrosion caused by residual salts from heat treat. There will be some BLEM grade mag bodies which still show some splotchiness in the finish appearance, as well as mag bodies that are uniform in appearance. We have more mag bodies than floorplates so there will be an offering of only the mag body, as well as the usual offering of a floorplate with each mag body. When this NDS-WM product grading is completed, we will contact persons on our waiting list. Thanks. Harlan NoDak Spud LLC |

For those not on this list, but interested, please email us for current availability (or call us at 952-942-1909). This week we sent out another batch of NDS lower and upper receivers for gray anodizing. These are intended for orders from customers taken in May of 2017. Once we get back anodized receivers, customers whose orders we can fill will be notified. We are currently prepping triangular charging handles to be sent out for anodizing. These are slated to fill an order from Brownells. Currently on the CNCs is a batch of lower receivers for the NDS-52 partial fence XM16E1 receiver blanks (80%). Harlan NoDak Spud LLC |

Available right now are a few gray anodized NDS-16A1 lower receivers that are graded as BLEM grade. The blemish is a slightly larger than spec hole in both pin bosses for the bolt hold open pin. With each one of these NDS-16A1 lower receivers we include two split pins that are sized for the slightly larger pin boss holes. Only one of the pins is needed for assembly. The second pin is sent as a spare. These pins still allow for proper pivot movement of the bolt hold open and no modification of the bolt hold open is necessary for proper function. The BLEM grade NDS-16A1 lower receivers are priced at $150.00 each, shipped to the firearms dealer. Please call us at 952-942-1909 to place an order. Thanks. Harlan NoDak Spud LLC |
