I received my set earlier this week and, as a fellow machinist, I definitely appreciate the quality of manufacture of this product. Great fit and finish, and while I was originally just going to sit on it, having such quality in hand makes me want to throw together a rifle ASAP.

Give updates and you get a bunch of e-mails asking if their sets are ready. Give less updates and you get a bunch of e-mails asking why their sets aren't ready yet.
He said they were shipping March orders, those who ordered in February had the right to know why their set didnt ship yet..!

I shipped some orders in the beginnings of March, there are clearly a number of orders specifically around late February that have not shipped yet.

Thank you.
Some people truly blow me away. I placed my order and haven't really thought about it since. I know its coming, do I know exactly when? No. Do I care? No. I feel sorry for all of you that are so impatient to sit here and try and argue with these guys putting out a great product with a great price. I understand the excitement and wanting to get them ASAP hell I feel that too, but the last thing I'm going to do is pester these guys with questions. Remember, they don't have to give any updates at all, it is great of them to come on here and update timelines and be honest about setbacks. The less we bother them, the more they can just keep working and getting them out the door. For those of you making a big deal out of "I paid for it, it hasn't come yet" blah blah blah. Ive paid for stuff from mass producers and waited months for it to finally get to me, if you're so concerned about the deposit you put down, or the price in full you paid, maybe you shouldn't have ordered it to begin with.
Yes, there was a problem with the mill that was doing the finishing step on the SS uppers. I can't remember if there was a ETA or not. I won't be getting out to shoot it until spring anyways, so I'm not in any rush lol.
So when did you preorder yours?
I think I'm patient, I was supposed to receive mine in August / late September of 2019. I think it's fair to ask questions, I'm not insulting anyone.
When I pre ordered mine has nothing to do with this, I placed mine pretty early into run 3, fully expecting to wait longer than they said, if it came before or close to the date they ESTIMATED completion time would be, I'd honestly be shocked. Not because I don't think the ATRS guys know what they are doing, but because the stats from runs 1&2 that sales were drastically increasing. I wasn't stating you specifically, I'm saying I check these threads when the ATRS guys update them and I see more people questioning them consistently about where they are, instead of just saying thanks for the update and going on with their day.

Another challenge is I have no idea who StockHausen is. Perhaps this is a question best handled via email, before I start throwing out guesses for who you might be on a public forum ?

Those whom the delays have affected, and who have contacted us, have gotten an answer.
Posting on a forum, while appropriate for some questions, is not actually considered contacting us.
It's bad enough with people using fake names on their email address, let alone trying to figure out what forum names match what real names on paperwork.
Those who feel everything needs to be a big "social media spectacle", can keep on wondering.
Hey , I know this is a Firearms Forum, but do you not use it as another means of advertising for your business?
To me it’s the same as shopping in the sponsors store,from the convenience of my phone.
You post something for sale, I like it, I ask a couple of questions, you respond, I buy it.
Pretty easy business transaction for both parties .
Anyway my point was that, seeing how there was only a few left, it would have been easier to give a general date as opposed to answering multiple emails,phone calls etc.
I’m not b!tching as I’ve went through this a few times with you guys and know the routine.
Anyway,all good, no need to get exited lol

Why are you reacting defensively, I received an answer that a large number of FA upper was returning from anodizing next week, but that was 3 weeks ago.
You asked us to stop emailing you because of the delays it can cause. Out of curiously, I just asked my fellow waiters if they received their set. I'm not hiding behind a nickname..

Despite my better judgement...
I'm going to reply to this 3 post-account, created less than a month ago... 
Run 2 has definitely not wrapped up as fast as I would have liked, that's for sure.
Almost all lowers are done excluding some specific serial numbers, all of which are either at anodizing right now, or being switched out for lowers that ARE done and sitting here.
The delayed uppers are where the issues really are and on that note:
The remaining FA uppers are finishing up, we have enough to finish off the 2nd run orders. I'm being told the remaining SS uppers will be be going into the machines for their final operation within the next 1-2 weeks. Given the general turnaround for anodizing, my best guess for the last orders from the second run should be shipping out in 4-6 weeks.
To keep this in perspective, and I apologize in advance as this won't be a comfort to those of you who are waiting, but there are roughly 30 orders that this affects... out of a little over 1000.
Ya, I don’t think they have any trouble reselling .. lol
I know your pain , but at the end of the day , it is what it is.
Once you get it in your hand , you’ll quickly forget about the extra wait.
That I can guarantee
