Has anyone ordered from SOTA Arms?  If so, how was the transaction?

Also, the website says 6 to 8 weeks to ship a complete upper.  I am ok with the wait and they seem to have decent prices for the current market, I just don't want to wait 3 or more months.

SOTA complete upper


I'm happy with mine. It took about a week longer than they quoted. Before the panic.

Ordered in the end of January and it came in about 10 weeks, appears to be probably one of the better quality uppers I own especially for the price, haven't shot it yet though.

I have worked with a number of their x39 uppers and have been happy with all of them. Each had some tiny cosmetic flaw but not anything big enough to complain about. The times listed on the site are pretty accurate. They do not give status updates or respond to questions about when items will ship. All the uppers I have handled from them have worked perfectly.

Ordered a 300 blkout upper without bcg and charging handle in Feb and got it in less than 4 weeks. Looks and shoot really good. I would go for it.

The times listed on the site are pretty much dead on. Ordered a 300 BLK barrel received 8 weeks later. I do not think they have live stock on the site though.

Thanks for the info guys.  Sounds like a good deal.

I notice the gas block's rail seems a bit lower than the rail on the upper itself.  Wouldn't that put the front sight lower than "normal" or would I need an adapter / riser?

I just received both a stainless and regular upper in exactly ten weeks as their web site states.  Not my first order with them and I've been very happy with the quality of their work and the promised time schedule on delivery.  Good people.

I know people that have ordered from them.. They have been happy. But I would call to check stock.

Bought one of their budget M4 black phosphate barrels on 3/25, got the shipping notice today.  Spot on with shipping time, they said 3-4 weeks.  Can't wait to run it and see what $99 buys...

I took the leap and ordered from them April 1. I heard good things and they were very nice and helpful answering all my questions through the process. However, since i ordered they have not responded to emails or answered the phone. Would anyone here know how the forearm is attached? I am looking to put on a midwest industries free floating quad rail when i get the upper but am not sure which "generation" i need.

I ordered a 300blk barrel and a few parts on April 4.  Got a call from them today and then shipment confirmation.  2 week turnaround, maybe things are getting better?

Well, $99 buys something that isn't as advertised.  I ordered a barrel with an M4 profile cut and got something else that doesn't match the picture on their site.  Other than that, it looks fine, the M4 feedramps look good, rifling looks OK, no chips in the barrel around the gas port.  I sent them an email with a picture, we'll see what happens.

So after two weeks of emailing both through their site and to their actually email address, and calling and leaving voicemail, I have yet to hear back from SOTA arms.  Very poor customer service.

When they called me they used the number that is on their website.  Keep trying, maybe you will get through.

I ordered upper on March 29th and received it last Friday, May 10th... 40 days, by my count which is under six weeks.  I called with a question this morning and they answered by mid-day.  I think that since they are one of the few companies that are actually FILLING ORDERS RELIABLY and they are a small company, they are swamped and would recommend patience.  Their prices are worth it.  Quality seems pretty decent but haven't used the upper yet.

They are GTG. My father-in-law ordered from them and their turn around time was right on within a week or so of their original quote. Nice parts for a great price.

Well, I guess I'm just SOL, I didn't want an HBAR, I wanted an M4 profile, that's what I ordered and not what I received.  Oh well, looks like I won't be sending any more business their way
