On may 27 2009 I ordered a 308-bl-18 directly from DPMS. Im getting tired of waiting. Should I cancel and get a barrel now from Fulton Armory? Or should i wait and see how long this drags out?  <laughs>

I would. I ordered a FA 18.5 MW with target gray on 5-5-10, and received it today 5-13-10. That included a BCG also. The quality looks good if not better. Just my .02

For what it's worth, you have way more patience than I do. I would have gone a different route way before now.

Call them up and offer a little reminder. I'm sure their competitive side would urge them to send you a barrel rather than a refund.

If you don't have it by now ,order one from FA. Ya can't go wrong there . Have it at your door in a week & a better barrel .

That is the plan. I will contact DPMS tomorrow or the next day.

I can't believe these guys are still so far behind at this point.  Seems crazy.  When I see things like this, I often wonder if they were just taking orders last year, and because they (every manufacturer) was so slammed - that they've just kinda put that stuff out-of-mind now.  Kinda like they're just ignoring everybody that ordered during "the craze of 2009" or something. 

When I built my .308 up in March, I ordered all the small parts for the upper from DPMS, via a phonecall.  I received the stuff in a week, and the prices were comparable to other vendors - they were just the only place that had every little piece, from one place.  They were good about it, actually.

I just can't believe that these companies are still literally chitting on most of the people that ordered last year - no way should it take that long, IMHO. 

At any rate, you know I'll vote for the Fulton parts, man...  <thumbsup>  That 18.5 NM SS barrel is sweet.

It's just as well. Ive been pissing cash away and I dont need another outlet Friggin camera just cost me another $500 for a lens. I wish DNP lived next door  <lmao>

I wish DNP lived next door  <lmao>

BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!  <laughs>  If he was closer to you, you'd be shelling out more, trust me.  <lmao>

You should have him describe his remote flash operation...  He sets up timed flashes close to the action, while he's a distance away with a long lens - out of danger of the thundering desert race trucks.  <thumbsup>  That setup is so sweet, man.  Handful of those little badboys all angled different, triggered from the camera.  He brought that out to the dunes in late '08 and we were playing with it.

Just ask him to post pics of a buggy roll-over sequence...  :o ;D

[imschur]

Well I canceled the order with DPMS.

<munch>  <dontknow>

Like these?

It's an expensive hobby Drew....I still have no idea what I'm doing, I just know what I want to buy and try next.  My current wish-list is geared towards stereoscopy...and the time lapse is right behind it.  Though, I'm kinda wanting to do a little more studio work, so...more lights/modifiers/stands and stuf will come before the other two things I want to do.  The stereoscopy HAS to happen though.  A lot of things have been done in the desert racing arena....I have yet to see 3D offroad images though.

[imschur]

Hey Ill try the same shots with my Traxxas  <lmao>

[DNP]

RC cars are tough to shoot.  I started off with a couple Canon 580EX flashes and a few pocket wizards and have since upgraded to an Alien Bee 1600 strobe.  I'm hoping to order a few more lights real soon from them.  Great lights for the price...check them out if you haven't seen them before.  http://www.alienbees.com/

I dont have a clue about strobes like that. I would love to master that though.

If you order the Fulton barrel, let us know how you make out with it. I ordered a complete lower from DSA and wanted it with the entry stock instead of the collapsible and they wanted to charge me $50 to put it on. I told them to just ship it and I'll put it on myself, then I'll sell the collapsible and be money ahead anyway. I wonder whats going to happen to some of these companies when things slow down and customers start expecting decent service.

[imschur]

Im trying to decide on an upper (maybe a lower too) at the moment
