Anyone received their's yet? I placed my order for the 13.2" version on 2/18 and it is still on backorder.

Same length. Same date. Same result.

Ordered a 13.2 and a 7 within probably 5-10 minutes of the initial email going out and they are on backorder. Just gonna have to be patient on this, at that price I'm sure they got a ton of orders.

Mine are also on backorder.

I inquired about delivery on the LAT handguards yesterday. Dan told me that the LATs have started shipping, but due to the amount ordered it may be a couple weeks before some people see theirs, myself included.

I was hopeful they had a couple hundred units of each size ready to ship before taking orders. Oh well...

Next week I'll have everything for my new 300 BLK build except the rail/barrel nut

From what it looks like, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the models had ZERO units produced until they started to receive orders.

He shouldn’t have listed for sale if he didnt have any to ship. pretty poor decision in my mind but I dont run a successful firearms company so what do I know.

coworkers that were waiting to see mine before they purchased have gone with other rails because they dont want to wait this long to complete a build. These were guys that I had talked up the rail to, and told them to wait for its release since it will be worth it...

2nd sentence of your quote hits the nail right on the head. Highlighted the important part.

Some of the time complaints are killing me...

The prices on the rails and MBT are crazy....quality on them is crazy...so whats the big fucking deal to have to wait several weeks? More than worth the wait.

I'm not that old. However, I remember ordering a Swiss Army knife from the Gander Mountain catalog. Filled out the form, paid my dad so he could write a check, mailed it and waited and waited and waited. I believe it was 2+ months. It was a nice surprise when the padded envelope showed up in the mail.

I still remember my dad looking through the mail and throwing me the envelope with a smile on his face.

Dammit, I might trip and land on my rifle with it's bendy handguard while carrying it from my Jeep to the bench. I could *DIE* if I don't get a LAT handguard on that rifle immediately.

Mark commented in the World War HG thread that there was an issue with the trademark on the name of the rails so the markings have to be slightly modified. That was the hold up. If you look at them on the website now the names are a bit different so that would make sense.

Well I’m selfish and only care about my order shipping ASAP for my own personal gain.

If I order an MBT today I expect it to take several months to ship. But....on a brand new product that I ordered an hour after release, I was a bit more optimistic that it would ship with a week or so. Because why make something available for purchase if you don’t have some inventory when you KNOW they will sell like hot cakes.

While I would love to order and immediately get my stuff, I know going into a Larue order that there’s going to be a wait. Where else can you get a free float rail and awesome trigger for sub $200? Hopefully at some point Mark will get all theses wait times down. I can imagine that at some point, long waits for almost everything you make will affect business.

It would be great if Mark got rid of all the ghey markings and just did them bare. He'd sell way more that way.

I agree. But I think they will sell more than they can handle regardless.

Order number 708888.... 7”. Forgot to order a barrel nut while buying my Raptor charging handle yesterday!!!! Current rail on the AR-47 has a built in barrel nut.... Which is why I’m changing it out. Built it out of mostly leftover parts just to get it built. Wife will never know better when I upgrade it!!!

If you mean you forgot to order a barrel nut to use with this rail, they come with a proprietary barrel nut.

I weighed the rifle after completion. I am not one that is too concerned about the weight. I will add that the barrel is a 16" PredatAR with a LT gas block and gas tube.

LOL the dremel wasn't for this rifle. I have a 7" coming on monday that is going on a Brownells FN Socom profile barreled upper I bought a few months ago that came with no handguard. I figured I'd get the FSB and and barrel nut off today. Taper pins came out ok but had a horrendous time getting the barrel nut off, so I dremeled off the delta ring to get a better hold on the nut with the wrench and threw it in the freezer for a few hours. That did the trick and finally came off ... I don't think there was even one drop of grease on the receiver threads, but I'll be good to go now on Monday.
