SGT45 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Well I received a reply from Armalite. They are having me ship her back for inspection. <thumbsup> I did find out she was born on 5/2010. She was new "old" stock.Mr. R- Not sure if it was the dealer or not. I am just glad Armalit is taking care of it. I ended up getting the Troy H&K style front sight.Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 You'll like those sights, and I'd be willing to bet Armalite will take care of you, hang in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I agree with Edge on this one. On the sights and on Armalite. Top notch....both of them.Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT45 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Still waiting for my Upper to come back from Armalite. Its only been a month. They said that what appeared to be rust is a lube or coating of some sort. Mario at Armalite is the only person who replies to Phone calls and Emails. LE rep. hasn't responded to several emails.

98Z5V Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 SHOT Show 2013 is going on right now, also - something to keep in mind when trying to contact companies at this current time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT45 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 We have been trying to contact them since Decemeber 17th. I am aware of shot show. Someone has to be manning the ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Phone is your best option. I would stick with it. The distraction of SHOT started long before the show and they are running balls to the wall. I know all my contact except Mario are at the show. Mario cant help you?

SGT45 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 imschur, Will probably try him again on Monday. One main problem is we need to order 4 more rifles and numerous magazines. These are duty rifles. Magazines are much needed. btw- we called too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unforgiven Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hey SGT did you can any feedback on how they resolved the problem? <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT45 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hey SGT did you can any feedback on how they resolved the problem? <dontknow> They said it wasn't rust. It was some type of lube/paste used in the assembly/machining process that sat for a while and turned color and solidified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPBCTS Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Sarge could you post the part numbers of the sights you bought..and maybe a pic or two of them mounted up...I need to do the same thing on my 10-BTNF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT45 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 SPB, Sorry for the late reply. Yes I will take pics ASAP. and Part numbers. I am still Pissed at Armalite. They have not returned our calls. We want to order 4 rifles and Magazines. We told them in Emails and calls. Guess I will have to ask for a Supervisor or Boss at Armalite. We emailed them in early December for the mags., told them they were for LE- NO REPLY! This was December 17th. before all of the Newtown backlash and OBAMA nonsense.

98Z5V Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 This was December 17th. before all of the Newtown backlash and OBAMA nonsense.Incorrect statement. December 17th was THE day that the poop hit the fan in the firearms community. THE day. Everyone in the industry had a bad day that day, and it hasn't slowed down by even one mile per hour, since.By December 18th, almost every single AR mag in the country was sold, parts all over were out of stock, complete rifles were hard to find, ammo was gone, reloading components were in very, very short supply - the day after you are quoting.The morning of December 14th was when the heinous act went down at Sandy Hook. Friday. Saturday and Sunday, firearms enthusiasts all over this country were already ahead of you, and your department. Buying. The morning of December 17th, Monday morning, first Obummer is on national tv giving his "ban" speech, quickly followed by Fukstein saying she's already got the "new ban" written, and had been working on it HARD for the last year. You've been trying to get ahold of them since December 17th. You were behind the power curve, and I don't mean that in a bad way, or as an insult. Everyone in the country that was on the fence about an Armalite, was trying to get ahold of them on December 17th.You need to understand that timeline. It was not before the Sandy Hook backlash, and it was not before the Obummer announcement. Very, very smart people in this country were burning up the online sales, starting Friday, and going into Saturday and Sunday. People that are employed at these firearms companies came to work Monday morning, looked at all that had sold over the weekend, and simply said to themselves, "Holy SHIIIIT!!!," just knowing the shipping situation they were now in.That's what happened.

planeflyer21 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I'm telling you, part of me still thinks they know they can't do squat about guns/ownership...and this is just a way to boost the economy for as long as possible, so they can point to the numbers and pat their own back.But the other part of me thinks they're in need of hanging.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT45 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Received a Call from Armalite today. The Rep. was very nice and apologized for the delay and the actions of the other Rep. He stated they are very, very busy (which I knew and expected, but at least Rep. originally called could have answered his phone and emails- thats water over the dam now). We had a good conversation. They are backed up for 9-12 months. They try to get LE guns out sooner, but still 6-7 months. Prices are still very good. Appears as though they are about $5-10 more than last year. I am very happy with Armalite now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT45 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 We were pretty pissed. 2 months and no reply to numerous emails and voice mails. We went so far as to call RR and S&W for prices on their AR10 equivalents. Each stated they had a 6-9 month wait or more on .223's and even longer on .308's. I happened to make a mistake in the extension numbers at Armalite yesterday. Sounded like I had someone important voice mail. Left a Message and our problems- BAM!!!! received a phone call today!!!!! Great experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'm sure that you guys were pissed off. All of us are. We're all in the same boat, thanks to all of our politician's knee jerk reactions that are happening all across the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
