Heads up for potential Modern Sporter purchasers.

[alberta tactical rifle]

Just a heads up for those who have been following our Modern Sporter.

April 15th will be the last day we take an order for receivers in the 2nd production run. ALL orders received after April 15th will be made in the 3rd production run. We expect to start working on production run #3 of lowers starting in late September. Once we have the lowers done move onto uppers again. Each run takes about 3 months so if all goes according to plan complete upper/lower sets will start to ship out in about March of the New Year, depending on which upper style we do first.
Also with our costs for aluminum bar stock increasing along with the costs of tooling, power,heat,insurance and wages there will be an increase in the cost of the sets. The exact amount we are still trying to work out but it is looking like around $100.00 per set

How much will the increase be on your restricted sets?

Errr uuhhh, i mean, its very complicated...

 

[G.Mitchell]

I’m not up to speed on production runs, which run will have the forward assist added to the upper?

 

[ssapach]

Forward assist is production run 1.5

I would also be curious to hear if other offerings in your product line will be impacted by these operational costs..

 

[HotSoup]

Clarification please: If we place an order for a Slick Side receiver set in production run two, it is still estimated for a late august to late september delivery, correct?

IF we were to run a production run of our AT15's again (restricted version of Modern Sporter) the price would be the same or slightly more than what a F/A Sporter is going to be.
There is exactly the same amount of material used, a little more machine time due to the added features the AT15, Varmint and Hunter have that the Sporter doesn't.
The next production runs of both Varmints and Hunters will also have to increase simply to keep up with the increased costs of doing business.
We don't like it but the fact is we either adjust pricing to cover costs or quit making these products.

We have sold out slick side uppers from production run #1 and #2 so orders for SS uppers will be in production run #3. Production run #2 of uppers and lowers will start to ship out in late August and will continue into September depending on when the order was placed.

If we already paid a down payment last week or earlier on an SS upper are we still good to go for production run 2 as advertised, and if not is there a way to know?

IF the order was already placed and a deposit taken you are good to go. There is a high probability that the upper is already done, if not already done it is just awaiting being anodized.

 

[Joel]

Awesome thanks guys!

We are running them now. We are doing enough F/A uppers to cover all of production run #1 and #2 of lowers. Once the F/A uppers are done we start on production run #2 of lowers.

I’m also not sure when’ll mine be shipped out. I ordered with F/A upper in Dec 2018. I didn’t follow your threads closely and would appreciate an update on estimated timeline.

 

[jory]

I feel like I missed the boat on these

We are in the process now of machining F/A uppers which should start to ship out in late May or early June. If you ordered a production run #1 lower it is done, if it is a production run 2 lower expect to see the complete set late August to mid September depending on where you are in line.

Not really it just all depends on how soon you want a set.

 

[imark93]

So if i were to pre order a slick side receiver set today it would be apart of production run #2? That would be ready to ship in Fall?

No. If you ordered a slick side receiver set today, it would be spring of 2020. A Forward receiver set ordered today, is looking at Late September possibly October.

To clarify up above as well, forward assist uppers for RUN #1 LOWERS, will ship out May/June.

I'd be in for an F/A set. If I ordered soon, that would put me into fall?
