| does anybody know how backed up they are? i ordered a stripped lower from aim for $100 on november 6 and they still do not have the double star lowers in stock! aimsurplus says they have no idea how long it will take and i'm starting to wonder if i should cancel this order and just get one off of gunbroker.com for $200 |

FWIW, Double Star anything isn't exactly know for quality. Do you have actual experience with Double Star products being poor quality? I have built four rifles on Double Star lowers and they are excellent quality. The Double Star complete rifles I have seen have also have been good quality. Please do let us know if you have had problems with Double Star I would really like to know. Regards, T |
| From working closely with a local gunsmith I have come to understand that they are very good quality. There are a couple gunsmiths near me who try to work exclusively with Doublestar because of their good quality and good price. The parts for Doublestar are from J&T Distributing and are well known in Tennessee and Kentucky. Put a question in the Tennessee, Kentucky, and Industry forum and you will probably get alot better answers than I can give you. And I want to let you know that I don't have any stake in Doublestar, but the upper I'm getting from them to complete my build. |

I'm part of a Doublestar lower GB on another forum, and we've been quoted about a 3 month wait.

I thought I remembered hearing something about that being one of the less than desirable mfgs, however it must have been some other brand. So, I thought I knew what I was talking about, but obviously I didn't. I should have done a bit of research to make sure before I posted, but again, I didn't. So, please pay no attention to my ignorant statement. My fault. I am wrong. Foot wedged securely in mouth. Carry on. |

to the OP: try to give DS a call and see what their timeframe is. better to hear it from the horses mouth |
| aim called me a little earlier and said they had bsa lowers in stock and because they don't know when the double star lowers will be in, if i wanted, i could change my order and get one of the bsa's for $139. i told them i would wait for my original order. they THINK it is going to be at least 8 weeks. |

I used several doublestar rifles in builds and I was very happy with their fit and finish. Personally they looked better than the Stag's I just got. +1 I just finished a 20" build with a DSC kit. Shot it for the 1st time today. Works perfect , and fit & finish is great ! |
