Do you have any idea when an FRT will be issued?
Is there anyone you can talk to?
What about launching an ombudsman complaint regarding the wait time or something?

To Project Guns, I believe Stan is about 1/4 way through the rifles at this point.

We still won't be shipping prior to issue of FRT.

I am in regular communication with the lab, as recently as late last week. I can say that there are no problems raised or reasons to feel that the process will be anything but positive in outcome. We have been given detailed reasons for why this takes as long for them as it does now, think govt/budgets/layers of approvals/backlog. On our side, we are providing any and all info as requested. We will continue to do everything we can do to assist the process towards completion. I dont think that making complaints with an ombudsman would be helpful, as they are not outside the general parameters they already gave and which were already passed on to customers previously and are communicating freely.

I wont make suggestions that may be taken as "glib", because I dont want to unintentionally offend anyone who rightly wants this completed ASAP, as we all do, but I will mention the old adage that "a watched pot never boils". We are 100% on this, know this. I think posting updates to the extent of "there is nothing to report today" is just going to upset people. My friendly rather than business suggestion would be to try and put them out of mind until we come back with good news. It will come. I will say that suggestions from the lab on time are less dire than the possibilities I read in this thread.
I am personally planning on me taking home my RPD later than I think, with the hope of being surprised with a quicker issue, rather than thinking it is going to happen sooner only to potentially be dissapointed. I hope this post makes sense!

I truly believe that when customers receive their guns, the happiness from their awesomeness will outweight the pain of waiting on classification conclusion.

My friendly rather than business suggestion would be to put them out of mind until we come back with good news. It will come. There is no point in me posting my thoughts or hopes on matters I cant control the final outcome of (ie, the date of approval). It would be wrong to do so and will only result in me being crucified anyway. I am not going to make things up to try and say something.

Not the ones that come with the gun, the ones that could be purchased separately were going to be delayed separate from the gun itself and perhaps now instead of waiting for a shipment of links and belts we could possibly get everything at once... of course I'm getting ahead of myself, I sense a good chunk of time passing before I can go to the post office and shakily hand them the parcel pick up slip :rockOn:

Doubt it, I would imagine the stuff will stay in Florida until the FRT is issued.
