Hooray, 5160 is on the list. I think I might be the first non-voucher order. 18 weeks down, 6 to go.  It does make me happy to know the latches are nearly done and will ship with the lowers. No hate, I know manufacturing is tough business. A lot of the stuff for my company has a 6 month lead time, so order forecasting is a pretty crucial part of our business. |

Anybody who has been involved in the firearms or manufacturing industries should be well aware that both you and Harvey have gone out of your ways to bring revolutionary products to market in remarkable time and that slight delays are part of that process. Seriously, you have gone out of your way to be both transparent and helpful in ways that should set the standard within the gun manufacturing industry. I mean, seriously, look at how long it took Ares to bring the Shrike to market, or the lack of progress from Cryostructure, or the crazy business antics of John Willis or John Ceiner. You have absolutely NOTHING to lose sleep over. In fact, you probably need to consider booking a vacation so you can catch up on sleep before you find yourself getting hot and heavy in the design and manufacturing processes of the lower for the Lima-7. |
I will not compromise!

Just don’t know what to get. |

You are doing good man, everyone knows you are doing your best, and everyone knows they'll ultimately receive a great product. In time you'll get caught up! |

| Well, after a bit of USPS drama (and some legwork by Ryan), my lower arrived today. Now, I just have to order my Lima-6, which won't happen until March or April. |

Regarding the issue of USGI nutsacks working with the IGM7, I tested two prior to listing them in the EE and both locked up perfectly. Attached File Attached File |

It's been like 19 weeks for some people. I do in fact lose sleep over this, I can't fathom how it's taken this long. That is why I have been quiet. I sat back while others got theirs. I'm still waiting just wanted an update. Thank you in advance again... |

I have also noted a good amount of core shift I guess you could call it between the two. I will post more after I get some pictures taken so if you want to run these sacks you know what to look for. Either way we are going to open up the area on lowers going forward. |

Finally got to town to pick up my second lower, and lo-and-behold! Two separate orders but ended up with consecutive SNs. Thanks Inoculum! RRH Recce RPD upper arrived last week, and my Cerakote for the lower got here this morning. Things definitely lined up. |

By the way, Catches are at Heat Treatment tomorrow and we did an expedite on them, so they should turn and burn them back to us in 7-10 days. Super excited to get them out, because it truly completes these things. |

Just going to do a simple black Phosphate most likely. |
