Does any one know if Spider Firearms is still building 50 BMGs?

It would appear they do.

I thought so 10 months ago, I'm not that sure now. Wondering if anyone has delt with them recently?

Any idea how long the order took? I was told "About four months", It Has been ten. With No End In Sight.

Yes, and the conversations always end up reminding me of something akin to "Judy Garland" "On The Yellow Brick Road"................. Off To See The Wizard! He never has an answer, just another stall, delay , valid reason! I'm considering a trip to Florida to see his shop. A long trip from Alaska!

DATE 30 JULY 16
I do have an A-10 style receiver in stock. Only barrel I have in stock is a Supermatch with a short throat. If I put these two together we are looking at about a month delivery time. If we go with the stainless with the longer throat then it would be early Fall before delivery.

DATE 10 AUG. 16

DATE 10 MAY 17                                            "I can make the remaining parts in the next two weeks."

DATE 20 MAY 17
           
Materials are in route and production schedule has been changed to give me a slot of time to make your parts ASAP. And now you're complaining that I havent sent an invoice yet. -- In other words you have requested your upper be finished in fluorescent pink........ROGER THAT SIR. ??      

THIS IS THE SHIT I'VE BEEN GETTING FOR 10 MONTHS

I can't sort out he huge delays on these things either.  The only thing I would consider at this point is an AR50, BA50, or a Barrett.  At least those are in stock.  All these other companies either make 1 per month or do it as a hobby.

ETA: Add State Arms, I had a great dealing with them, but they are not really in stock.

I agree, I have a couple of AR uppers in 50BMG and if I could do it over again I'd just have picked up an AR50.

Just ask for your money back and walk away.

This!

He Will Not Refund, Period.  He Says It Is "Finally" Ready And I Will Not Just Send More Money Like I Did A Year Ago. He Won't Or Can't Take  Take A Credit Card. So A
Friend Is Driving Up From Marathon On The 25th To Pick It Up And Ship It To Me. Quite Frankly Scarlet, After A Year, I Do Not Trust The Prick At All!

PS: I'm Going To Sell It As Soon As It Arrives!

Why buy that POS when you can get an AR-50?

Rewarding Isn't It?

No end in sight yet?

13 and a half months, I finally settled for an upper I was originally quoted could be done in 30 days! It was not the barrel I ordered nor the paint job I paid for!
"Theft By Deception" a Federal Felony, accepting money and NOT producing goods or services!  It took the threat of filing charges with the Osceola County DA and a trip to St.Cloud!

BOTH, I paid the prick, got the upper and sold it, to the penny for what I had in it, Less the time and stress!

I'm sure glad to know that somebody, somewhere has received something from this guy. I ordered a 50cal upper from David Moore on Feb 2, 2017. I have sent multiple emails requesting updates and always have received the same answer as everybody else ... 4-6 weeks more for delivery. I have visited his shop in St Cloud Fla on 2 different occasions and have never seen him working on anything and his 2 CNC machines were idle both times. This last time I visited I looked around and he had a bunch of receivers done but I didn't see any of the barrel shrouds, legs, bolt bodies, or barrels. It is my understanding that he can not get barrels. I suspect he has burned through his money and nobody will ship him any without the cash up front. It is now March 22nd, 2018 (13 months) and still no upper and no answer to my last email which was sent about 10 days ago asking for an update. I have seen that he is selling off personal weapons (for ridiculous prices I might add) to possibly raise the funds he might need to get barrels. This has been the most frustrating thing I have ever had to deal with. He will not refund money under any circumstances and as far as I'm concerned is nothing more than a common thief. I have retained an attorney and plan to sue him for the deposit $1,500 as well as attorney fees. My attorney also plans to pursue this with some local TV station advocate there.

How did your story turn out with your suit if you don't mind me asking?  I just bought one from a pawn shop with a DPMS lower and 200 rounds of API for 2100.  I'm looking for a scope for mine currently (I posted a thread here on what I bought).  I'm still waiting to see if they are any good or if I got junk.  Hopefully it's a good weapon even if the owner isn't.
