Hey there John, great work doing this project for Canadians. Glad to see someone finally stepped up to the plate of the AR-180b clones. I placed an order with you guys for one, I believe within the first 72 hours (under the first 1000 or so), would there be any way to find out an ETA? Or is it just a "when it comes it comes" type of deal? Fine with either, but it would be nice to have a little idea of when it would be coming.
Thanks,
Phill
It is very difficult to accurately forecast delivery dates at this time. Kodiak have assured me that we will take delivery of a minimum of 300 rifles in May. Machines have to be set up and every part inspected, Kodiak and ourselves are agreed that QC is the number one priority, rather than reaching any target production quota. As soon as production is running smoothly we will ramp production up to the maximum we can handle with out sacrificing quality. At that time we will be able to provide approx. delivery times.
In the unlikely event we run into a QC problem we will halt production until any issue is resolved. This may not be what you want to hear but this is how we will operate. So I refuse to predict any delivery dates, rest assured we all want to ship as many rifles as possible as quickly as possibly.
I do intend to keep customers updated as production progresses.
I thank everyone for their support and patience.
Well said Mr. Wolverine, that is exactly the way I would want you to proceed. There is no point in rushing junk out the door that will just shoot you in the foot on a deposit based preorder as people would just end up cancelling. Offering a solid quality product that lives up to its promises when it's ready to be released within a reasonable time frame will get a good word out and have many happy customers.
When can we expect to see some pictures with the barrel and hand guard of the production model?
That ethic is hard to argue against.
Godspeed, Wolverine!

Hi!
This looks great and I've been watching it with interest. Any idea what kind of accuracy we'll be getting out of these? Sorry if it's been answered elsewhere but 87 pages is a lot to look through.
