This is Geissele’s response to a different thread.
The ETA game is exceptionally tough, especially now within our industry. Demand is through the roof for everything, and that leads to external resources being spread thin too. It seems cliché at this point but there are still hurdles faced with the pandemic and its restrictions that certainly don’t help to improve timelines and output.
This is one of the primary reasons we wanted to be able to offer a backorder program and ensure that we do not charge you until your order ships. Also, while we would love to have your business direct, if you find the same rifle you are waiting for from us, from another dealer, go for it. If it hasn’t shipped, we can cancel your order so you can take advantage of their inventory if you’d like. That said we do our best to get backorders filled as quickly as possible but some things, like built firearms in particular, can have shifting ETA’s so our CS team often doesn’t have any set timelines to give out.
