A buddy of mine ordered an OBR and a bunch of related goodies in mid-October and was given an estimated delivery date of mid-December. Anybody know what the current actual wait times are? Thanks in advance. Joe

Any new news? My buddy is at 15 weeks with no word. Tell him to pickup the phone. He has, I don't want to get into it too much. No biggie though, I just heard from Alfred and I'm sure everything will get taken care of. Joe lol, did he call the Bat-phone? |

Any idea what they're assembling? I'd like a 20" .308, but if I order it in and it doesn't ship until May, I'll just wait until fall. I'd step down to an 18" if I knew those were shipping faster. Everyone I know who is waiting has 16" and 18" 7.62 OBR's on order. I've been waiting since range day. |

I'm not planning on running and gunning with it anyway. |

Looks like I am in the process of cancelling an order for a 18" 5.56 predatar today. Order was placed first of December and today I was told I may or may not see it by April.
Some guy at the plant told me they have a big .mil contract in house. Understandably, civilian orders are on the back burner. Talked to my dealer a few minutes ago. Told him if he gets the same story, just cancel the thing. Hated to do so, wife ordered that rifle as my Christmas present. She was more excited to see it arrive than I even was. I needed to have it shipped and ready to shoot the TX 3 gun championship in April. Now I have to go another route. Dang!

Looks like i will be waiting it out and going with what I have for the big match. |

I've had to wait on longer than quoted on 2 out of 3 of my LT rifles so far, and have no regrets at all... I will say that being more proactive in updating folks on their orders when they go beyond the time quoted would be a good thing, both for the customer, but probably them too... I have no problem waiting, particularly if it is for parts out of their control, or orders for our warfighters, but commo is king! |
| Ordered my 7.62 18" Predator on 12/8. Picked it up today and am very happy. Will place my order for a 5.56 next week. Sometimes it's hard to be patient––in this case, it has been worth it. My only regret? I was hoping it would ship with steak seasoning––I cant get enough of that stuff! |
