Only 16 remaining slots for 16” 551 with gray upper and gray steel lower. There are 93 slots for the aluminum lower.
|
|
If JDI was smart, they would cancel the alum lower models.
Anyone ever hear anything about the stocks and magazines that were supposed to be in by the end of Aug? |
|
A better option would be to offer NATO aluminum lowers instead of the rock and lock aluminum lowers.

Quoted: A better option would be to offer NATO aluminum lowers instead of the rock and lock aluminum lowers. View Quote They did, they sold out very quickly, I don't recall how many were available. Seems to be all over the place on what JDI will order, more PE90's would have been nice since that has some collector value to it. Then they order 300 551 16" rifles. At least the type is coming in, which is nice. |

Will the 551p be compatible with a (US) Sig 556 lower?
I want to be able to shoot the thing while I wait however long for magazines and buttstock.... |

Quoted: Will the 551p be compatible with a (US) Sig 556 lower? I want to be able to shoot the thing while I wait however long for magazines and buttstock.... View Quote Yes and no. It will fit, but the trunion isn’t relieved to allow all AR15 mags to fully seat. Twenty round USGI spec mags work without issue. Pmags work, but are tight and won’t drop free. |

JDI should import 16” optic rail 551s with both AR mag lower and Swiss mag lower, both lowers serialized to the upper. And import extra stocks and mags for each firearm imported, offer to buyers.

Quoted: JDI posted this on their Facebook page 5 days ago: “…black stocks came in late last week and are shipping… all other stocks are coming with the 551s early next month” View Quote Good news, thank you for the update. I don't know why I seem to miss updates from them on FB, but others don't. Admittedly, I haven't been using FB lately. They need a better method of getting information out there, FB just ain't it, and it's lazy IMHO. ETA: Found it, going through the comments to get information is not good. |

The 551s with steel lower receivers are showing sold out. There are still 93 551s with aluminum lower receivers.

Quoted: He did say they would be in Nov/Dec when they went back up for sale. But he does say a lot of things.

It took almost 7 months for my gun to get to me after paying in full, so what’s another few. |

Just curious, has anyone received their backordered stock/parts from the recent shipment or heard anything else about it?
It's been 3 weeks since the parts arrived per Dave on FB, and I confirmed via email that the items in my backorder were part of that shipment, but I haven't seen any updates since. |

I received an email from Dave yesterday. He will be back in the country on 11/19 and will then resume shipping back ordered items.

I received my back ordered mags and 751 parts yesterday. I got a shipping email w/tracking on Wednesday.

Quoted: Your gun was here, you paid in full, then it took seven months for them to ship it to you? View Quote That's on his cerakoters taking their sweet time and not really doing a great job (the gun has more debris/grit in the coating per square inch than any of my other painted or cerakoted guns) On the plus side at least they know how to rivet the dustcovers correctly. |

View Quote Your malcontent is misdirected. Be upset with JDI’s sales model, not with people who got lucky in calling in and buying items to flip. I was not one of those people for the record.

The guns were available in every configuration for months, and there was no dealing with clogged phone lines. If that's how he does things in the future going forward, I have no problems remaining a customer. |

Be happy they are as close to available and the price that they are. I wouldn’t be too sure that flippers are driving demand or are a big part of JDI’s calculations, they’re just riding off Dave’s efforts to import guns at reasonable prices. Otherwise Dave could easily raise his prices and make his operation more profitable. If these people really want to get even more entrepreneurial, they’re welcome to do their own form 6’s and get a distribution channel from Sig AG, and get even better margins with JDI out of the picture. One significant reason Dave is able to bring in so many guns is because of his business practices. Past importers like Sigarms and Trident don’t ask customers to place a 50% deposit on products they don’t have in hand yet, let alone full payment and months/year long lead times on items like stocks and mags. This allows Dave considerable leverage to increase his volume, because we know this is a capital heavy business. Many importers have gone out of business, but very few if any were relying on customers to finance their inventory in advance. Furthermore many of these importers did not actually directly sell to customers, as their clients were exclusively FFLs. Dave deals with customers directly and the community itself is effective at marketing for him by referring prospective buyers to him. The way Dave does things allows him to scale his operation to demand, so he’s not bringing in an excess amount of product that sits unsold at his own expense. As for more Sigs being imported, that’s not strictly a trend exclusive to Sig rifles. Gun manufacturers have stepped up volume domestically and abroad. Supply/Demand for all guns has increased. So what if Sig 55X’s weren’t as common in the 80’s? You couldn’t find AR15s as plentifully either, let alone guns that haven’t been developed/introduced like FN SCARs, BT’s various 5.56/7.62/PCC guns, CZ Brens and so forth. |
