ARES is in full production and building to order as we speak. Their Factory is full of WIP (Work in progress), but you won't see much in the line of finished goods as they ship as soon as they are built.
We order and get product on a steady basis. I would suggest you place an order for what you want to get into the flow. Their planners will schedule your order, and I think you will be surprised at how quickly you get product.
You may experience a de;lay if they are fulfilling a large agency or government order, and that would make sense.
Of course, you can contact you local ARES dealer who may have product in stock and ready to deliver.
Product is outstanding, and ARES is wonderful to deal with.... just busy!
Good Luck,
