Regardless of paid in full or not, we are machining the lowers in serial number chronological order but are being shipped out in the order in which the order was placed. So September 2018 orders for example will ship out sooner than October or November taken orders whether they are prepaid or not.
Hope that clarifies things.

If you paid in full or paid a deposit in September 2018 your gun is going to be sent out before one that was paid for in July of 2019. That's how this works. First come first served. I'm sure everyone that only paid a deposit a year ago has paid the rest by now.

So glad I got mine paid for before the frt dropped and I was in on the first run
 
Nothing is going to sit on a shelf if it’s ready to ship. If it’s complete and paid for , it ships. This seems like a prettt simple concept that ATRS is trying to explain. Without crayons, some may never grasp the concept of “ they will be shipped in the order that the orders were received, regardless of pre-payment or not”.
 
Dustin told me yesterday at TACCOM that receivers will go out in the order that initial deposits were made because it wouldn't be fair otherwise. But if the above is true, that they are producing in numerical order, then it stands to reason that it's not really first come, first served. You could have been the first person to pre-order for run number two, but if you didn't pay in full until later and got serial #500, you're going to wait, while the guy who was the second to pre-order but paid in full, will get his in the first batch. In that situation, it may have been easier if serial numbers had been reserved for people at the time of pre-order.
 
Its time people stopped complaining and learned patience. They aren’t going to sit on complete sets.
 
ATRS does not need to issue serial numbers sequentially. They can also issue SN without having actually produced the receivers.

Example:

Time 0: Customer A pays via deposit
Time +1 Customer B pays in full
Time +2: Customer B gets told his serial number is 2.
Time +3: ATRS produces receiver set with SN #1, asks customer A to pay in full and ships it.
Time +4: ATRS produces receiver set with SN #2, sends it to customer B.

Everybody gets their receiver in sequential order regardless of who paid in full or with deposit.

If anything, Im willing to bet that even deposit customers have a SN assigned to them but ATRS doesnt tell them. Knowing your SN might just be a perk of paying in full.

It would make a lot of sense if that's the case. In any event, the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter.
 
Frankly, serial numbers are an absolute pain in the ass, and I would much rather have never assigned anything until two minutes before they ship.

HOWEVER, c71 was a horrible wrench that got thrown at our heads and assigning numbers to close orders was the only solution we could see. Operation one and operation two happen in the same machine, they are done in sequential order. Operation three moves faster than one and two, so no problems there. The bottle neck is operation four, and this is NOT necessarily done in sequential order. Bead blasting, tumbling, quality control inspection, anodizing, none of that is necessarily in sequential order.

We will ship out in the best and most fair method we can, and our priority is chronological order. To everyone with a deposit, but not paid in full, I solemnly swear: We want your money, more than you want to part with it... I promise.
 
Theres a large batch of receivers up at anodizing right now, and I'm very much looking forward to them shipping out, as they're for the people who didn't know if they'd be first or second run and have been waiting so patiently for so long. Your patience is so appreciated. I expect they should be done shortly after we return from TACCOM!
 
Shaun and Dustin, a pleasure chatting with you guys earlier today, looking forward to my MS even more, but getting to fondle the few on display was enough to partially satisfy the itch :D
