Update on my order from Stag Arms (Placed Nov 14)

[Conceyted]

Originally I emailed them to check lead times and they told me they were on an 8 week backorder on all lowers, uppers, and full rifles. I ordered a day later and after processing and the time it took for me to email them my FFL, I got this email today...

Date Ordered: Friday 14 November, 2008

The comments for your order are

Thank you for choosing Stag Arms. Your order will be shipped in approximately 12 weeks. You will be emailed tracking information from UPS when you order ships.

ARG! 12 weeks! Let's just hope that they are giving me a high estimate (or that Obama takes his freaking time with this ban.)

I've learned to never trust the lead times from anyone in the firearms industry.

So what you're saying is... expect it to take twice that long?

Well... looks like I'll be looking on other places for my upper...

 

[Conceyted]

Got the answer. Let's just hope Stag keeps their word I have faith.

My last order from Stag was dead on for what they quoted me. Hopefully your experience will be the same.

This was a while ago, but I ordered a RRA upper and was told 8 weeks. It got to my house in less than 3 weeks. So, I agree any lead time is a crap shoot.

Hopefully it will be less than 12 weeks.

Contact EA. I got my upper and lower in less than a week......last week.

I ordered a Del-ton kit on Halloweeen night and had it 2 1/2 weeks later. Thier website said 4-8 weeks.

I think anything that was ordered anything before O-day isn't going to be comparable to current lead times.

i was told 7 weeks by pete. Now hes posting on ar15.com 15 weeks!
