Completly understandable, just not very realistic with the number of back orders and their almost infinite variety. If we were like some manufacturers and only offered approximately 10 models and they were built the way we wanted to build them and not the way the customer wants them, life would be much easier. We could batch build and assign rifles to orders raher than build to those orders, but that isn't how we operate. Even in the largest order surg ein the history on our industry, we stayed the course as a custome builder offering built to order rifles. As we get past soem of th ehuge order dates in Late december and early January, orders are catching up much more quickly. We might catch up by a month or two on specific models with a single batch of parts received, rahter than just part of one day's orders with the same quanitiy of parts when building against orders from some of those "big days". when we get bad parts, or even quaestionable parts, we're still rejecting them, rather than just using them to catch up more quickly. We're still commited to building your rifle as well as we can, rather than a whole lot of rifles that aren't quite what they should be, but they're out the door....
