This may already be known to you, and it may already have been posted elsewhere, but I just noticed it on the CMMG website. It appears to outline major changes in ordering from CMMG--both existing orders and new orders.
Disclaimer: I know nothing more than is on the website, and part of the announcement is quoted exactly below. I am not affiliated with CMMG in any way.
"CMMG UPDATES FOR 2022
Changes to Order Processing
Starting Feb. 17, CMMG will charge your card at the time of order in order to help speed up order processing.
Why the change?
Our old process resulted in fulfillment delays due to credit card companies allowing a 30-day authorization window before expiration. Lead times in the firearms industry far exceed that authorization window,and getting updated payment information has caused many issues. Therefore, CMMG has decided to charge at the time of order starting on Feb. 17, at 12 a.m. EST.

New Products for 2022
On Feb. 17, CMMG is launching a new lineup of firearms, uppers, and lowers for 2022. All Firearms from 2021 are being discontinued.
What does this mean for your back-ordered 2021 model orders?
All of our customers with backorders for firearms and parts will receive a series of three emails allowing them to Cancel My Order or Update My Order.
Update My Order
If you chose Update My Order, you will be required to place a new order on our website. After selecting Update My Order, you will receive a follow-up email with reorder instructions and a discount code to use on your new order for the new 2022 model. (Please allow 24 business hours before reordering once you receive the coupon code.)
When you place your new order, you will stay in the same production slot as your old order if you reorder before March 20th; no delays will come to your place in line with this change. ALL OLD ORDERS WILL BE CANCELED. Once the new order is placed, please use the new order number when contacting our Customer Service Team with questions or concerns about your order.
Cancel My Order
If you chose to Cancel My Order, no further action is required. CMMG will cancel your order. We understand your frustration and hope to be able to serve you better in the future. If you decide to reorder after selecting Cancel My Order, you will be placed in the back of the production line and will not receive the discount code. "
