When we first embarked on this project we anticipated a February to March timeframe for deliveries to start happening.
This has been the largest undertaking we have ever started and unfortunately underestimated the massive undertaking it has turned out to be and did not add in quite enough "what if factor".
And things have happened beyond our control that has set us back in what we were pretty confident we could get rifles out inside of by a little.
With the RCMP taking several weeks longer on the approval of the production rifles, and the company we use to do the heat treating and nitriding have had unforeseen issues which is delaying in getting the charge handle parts back creating a delay in assembly.
We had CBSA hang onto some of the imported items such as hand guards for 2 weeks in order to determine that they were no threat to Canadian security.
Proof has been taking a little longer than normal to get barrels to us in the quantities we have placed with them, but they are coming in in smaller than asked for numbers. All of this has delayed us in meeting our hopeful date of completion.
Anyway to cut to the chase here, we ARE running a bit beyond what we suggested would be delivery times by currently 2 to 3 weeks for which we apologize for, but there is absolutely nothing we can do about this fact. They will start to ship out in the next few weeks in the order that they were placed in (assuming the outsourced furniture is here, most of it is) and that the barrel spec'ed is in.
Having to answer multiple emails and phone calls takes us time to respond to, abusive and threatening correspondence, and yes we have received some, takes much longer as they typically consist of multiple calls or emails. This is time that could be better spent making parts for runs 2 and 3. We are a small shop where everyone multitasks so the guys answering calls and emails are the same guys making parts and assembling rifles.
Please rest assured the moment your rifle is completed we WILL be in contact with you. We want your money as badly as you want your rifle.
but will not be releasing any rifles until we are satisfied with them.
