first. this i expect will yield a low number of replies due to the fact that unless you have first hand experience or hints, there's not much you can assist me with. thanks for looking and giving it a shot though 
being a fan of large caliber sbr's i thought i'd try the venerable m1a platform. not to be confused with the m14 (non civilian), the m1a i chose was the springfield socomII with black stock and extended rail.
this rifle is paid in full and has been on order since the first week of april 2008. my funshop used fn sports to import the rifle blah blah blah. at the time of order i was told by both fn (through funshop) and springfield (personally over the phone) that it would be in the area of 4 months for delivery. my funshop told me he thought that was a optimistic time frame, and warned me to get used to at least a 6 month wait.
well its been over 10 months now, and i still wait for the delivery of this rifle. is this common place in any ones experience. i was told in late november/early december by springfield (donna rahn, export manager) that springfield was waiting for delivery of the rails from the supplier.
i guess i'm looking for advice if any other than more patience, that might speed this insanely slow process up a little.
fwiw. my wife just ordered a savage weather warrior in .308, i wonder what the odds are that she gets hers before i get mine
