Sounds like someone needs some cheese.Hey Assyrian come on over and you can have some wine with cheese and maybe a couple good shots of whiskey and some kubahsa and we can talk about the good times we had this year.Life is too short to be cranky.

How about corsair_canada has a definition of "mid-november" that falls before your order date of november 16th? Would that justify him getting his rifle first? Perhaps he ordered it on the 13th? Perhaps they'll process your order three business days after his?
How about "our employees would like to spend time with their families over Christmas"...is that a lame-@ss excuse for you not having your M-14 just yet? Speaking as someone who has a job that keeps him away from his family over Christmas, I wouldn't put up with it unless there was a VERY good reason. Treating their employees in a civilized fashion (ie one or two extra days off over the holidays) is a VERY effective strategy for building the kind of loyalty that retains good employees...and lets them provide better service to us, the customers.
If you wanted an M-14 in THAT much of a hurry, there is more than one place that you could have ordered from. It's not like it would have taken a crystal ball to figure out that Marstar might take a while to register all of those guns and process all of those orders.
Oh...I'm sorry...do you have a horde of rampaging Visigoths outside your house? Were you waiting for the M-14 to fend them off with? No? Then there's not much point in to getting your thong all knotted up.
Seriously...is there anyone here that has had their card charged and not received their rifle promptly? Anyone? How about someone that has been charged and received a rifle that wasn't up to par for a $400 semi-auto? Nobody? Anyone that feels they were misled by Marstar about how long it would before their rifle was delivered? These things would justify griping...not a delay caused by high demand and processing bottlenecks that Marstar went ahead and warned everyone about.
It doesn't matter what you offer people, somebody is always going to whinge about it.
If you're impatient, just say that you are eager to get your rifle and look forward to your first range day with it. Don't cr@p all over Marstar just because you're now realizing that "We'll ship it when we can" means exactly that...not the "You'll have your rifle in three weeks" that you translated it into.

Sweet, thanks damndirtyape! Was Jones-ing, but am now able to hold on till my M14 arrives all cosmolined up!Just picked mine up from the post office. I know what I'm cleaning tomorrow.

I think pretty all agressive cleaner is going to hurt the finish on the wood, low heat is the key. On metal its another matter, I've tried varsol+brush/rag but I didn't found it as impressive as to be smelling pretty bad. Instead I've used some choke cleaner I had handy and it did GREAT, I just had to wipe it up. Hot water works too
Ordered November 8, sorry about lack of specifics I was just happy to get the thing.

Thank you, I could not have said it better myself....
YES Marstar has for many years given all employees one week paid time off at Christmas.... Yes our dedicated and loyal employees deserve it....
For your information, when we asked everyone if they could work an extra few days (during our closed time) to catch up on orders, they all agreed 100% that our customers derserved it....
To quote ASSYRIAN " Poor ass service" , you tell me.... Personnaly As the owner of Marstar I am extremely gratefull for two things, way above average employees who will go the extra mile and for most of our customers who appreciate it....
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

While I understand that frustration can affect our judgement, I don't think that it's a license for unjustified slagging...a phenomenon which becomes all too common as soon as internet anonimity comes into play.
I think there's been enough said on this topic.
I hope that all of us - those lucky buggers that already have their M14's, those of us that are still waiting, and the folks shipping them out to us - have a very merry Christmas.
