Mopar makes some good points . But have bing been a founding member of cgn. Some 15/16rs now??
I have seen some epic fails on pre orders.
Ans I have seen some very well organised and we'll planed one's.
I think it all depends on who the comany is and who is involved in making it happen.

I think moderate deposits to hold place are fine, but I do not agree with pre-sales, especially with the roll out of a new product. I genuinely don't believe Maccabee will meet their estimated delivery dates. This is nothing against them, it's just from my personal experience in manufacturing. There's always something that can go wrong. Of course, I could be totally wrong. Maybe Maccabee has everything ready to go.
For example, just recently I had a case of totally unexpected issue completely destroying a delivery time. Prototype parts worked excellent, so I made a larger batch to fill the order. Final operation on one of the parts is a slight bend and they all cracked at the bend. Just a slightly different batch of aluminum, couldn't handle the same bend as was done on the prototypes. I re-designed the part and changed the bending process and all was well but I missed the delivery date. Stuff like that, especially on new products, always pop up.

There's a reason why the delivery date is "expected" and I've already waited 10yrs for a rifle like this, a delay won't kill me.
I know well enough too, I can tell you something should take 10min, and I could still be working at it a couple hours later cause sht happens.

I don’t have a problem with putting down some money in this case, if it somewhere more then a few hundred bucks that will separates the people that really want it from the tire kickers.
What do people expect the weight to be on this gun fully built? I looked at some 18” DD guns, and they are about 7-7.5 lbs. Does that sound about right in this case? I prefer a lighter gun then my ACR, it has a custom 18” barrel and it feels quite heavy.

It all depends on your barrel profile, handguard material, stock, and optic.
Ya it's 18.5+ inches, but go with a skinny barrel or carbon fiber and you could get really quite light.
It will be quite interesting seeing the builds that ultimately result from these.

I'd be more than a little concerned if it's a DI gun. They require regular cleaning to work properly.
Not being able to field strip it without taking out a small nut/screw would be a concern for me.

Yeah, like every 500-1000 rounds. Or far, far more.............................
Depends, guys who are worried may be use to corrosive 7.62x39 or even the ultra dirty norinco 556 that was around. With decent ammo there is no need to strip the rifle down after every hunting or range trip.
I could see wanting to clean after corrosive or dirty stuff, that's true.
But using AE, PMC, PPU etc in a .223, it can go a long time without cleaning. And for me, this rifle won't be getting the typical pew pew pew of several hundred rounds a day at the range like my AR's do.

That's my feelings as well.
Which is why I don't think I fear using a bolt or screw instead of a pin.

If I buy one, I'll most certainly be using it for 3 gun. It would replace the roles of all my other .223's. Shoot out a barrel? NP just throw in another cheap one.
3 gun would definitely need a lot of cleaning

Depends on how hardcore u are... If ur like me I maybe go to 4 matches/year and don't train nearly as much as I should... I go through around 600rnds of .223 per year. So not much, a bolt threading into aluminum won't wear out fast with my use.
I typically clean ARs once every three to five thousand rounds, even if I don't think they need it.
More than that and I don't feel like it's even worth my time.
