"The 1st ones should go out in the next week or so, all we are awaiting is the buffer systems and some of the furniture. Some of the suppliers have been slower than they predicted getting their products to our export agent."

Does this mean there's a chance We'll start getting phone calls the second week of August?

If it turns out that we've selected something specific for furniture that's going to cause a significant delay completing a rifle will you give us a heads up? I'd be willing to consider a change in configuration if it means avoiding a 1-2 month delay waiting for furniture. Even if it costs me a little more.

Those who have ordered with stainless barrels and either standard furniture or PRI hand guards will be getting the 1st calls. Fortis hand guards will be a couple more weeks. Proof barrels are taking longer.
Changes will increase the delays as we ordered the parts based on what the orders for the rifles spec'ed.

I ordered a Fortis hand guard so I guess I'll be waiting a few more weeks. Thanks for the update though!

Holy bejesus!!! i need to start putting some test loads together! sooo stoked for this!!! Anyone have an idea where they are going to start in respect to load test or does anyone at ATRS have any suggested loads already worked up?

I'll start with Hornady vmax 53 g and CFE 223. That combo haven't let me down yet.

I'm going other end of the spectrum, I'll be starting with 69gr tipped sierra match kings, and non-tipped to see how they work on some varget. I've also got a handful of 50, 53, 55gr hornady amax/vmax that i'll try out as well but I'm expecting the better results from the heavier bullets.

I got my hands on 750 50gr Nosler ballistic tip for a great price. So I think that and cfe223 for myself

I did some test loads with the Nosler ballistic tips (55 g maybe) and they weren't so great for me. But that was a diff rifle though. I find that the Barnes TYSX bullits are really good but pricy.
