Armalite shipping times.....

[BIGWHISE]

Greetings all,

I had placed an order with Armalite for a stripped upper to complete my build the end of August.  At the time I spoke with customer service rep who said all parts were going into full rifles to sale before election. I'm still patiently waiting for it, just wondering if anyone else has had same thing happen to them. Thanks

It's 2008 all over again. Manufacturers were better prepared this time but we are still seeing shortages of key parts across the board. Complete rifles are going to get the parts first. Unfortunately it makes the best business sense. This isnt just Armalite either.

Back in 2008 I canceled a barrel order with DPMS at the one year mark.

I think unless Armalite decides to specifically put some parts aside for parts orders your wait is still early on.

Welcome from Indiana brother BIGWHISE,parts are still flying off the shelves.It looks like BCG's are available again so maybe things are catching up. <dontknow>

imschur hit it right on the head my man. It's just election year blues. Parts and ammo sem to get scarce and expensive. All you can do is keep a sharp eye out as either become available. Unfortunately, we don't make the rules........we just have to live by them.
