2012 DFWMustangs.net AR-15 lower group buy

[pr1042]

I picked up a transfer from Jeff last night, he mentioned he was waiting to hear back from Palmetto at this point. From what I read on other forums, Palmetto is tough to get in touch with so no surprise there.

With that said, its been 2.5 hours since the last update. Can we have update on the latest since the last update?

He can ban you for 24hrs if you poke the bear too much.

I thought for a second I banned SAA but I just checked and I hadn't. Guess customer service isn't priority.

cj could you pop over to thf and let them know we are waiting they seem to be growing impatiant also a mod was asking for something to do with a pm from him

I don't think all THFers are getting impatient, I think the better way to describe their mood is concerned or uncomfortable.

A lot of people sent out money to a fairly annonymous internet person to make a purchase, and most of us don't really know CJ personally or even much from the forums either. I think most are just concerned that their money will simply vanish.

I myself and "concerned" but not so much for the money, I still want to make the purchase, and now if possible even increase my order a little more. I just don't want this to drag out for weeks and weeks before an order is placed and then months later for production to even begin.

The original posts stated that "based on last years purchase we were still on track for an end of march early april delivery date." Unfortunately the end of March come and went and we still don't even have an order placed, and now we went from a 2-3 week production schedule to a tentative 8 week production schedule.

In addition to the lack of much communication, CJ isn't even returning emails. I sent one early last week and haven't even received an acknowlegement that he received the email. I am sure he is busy as hell trying to find a new source, and I appreciate all of his work on this too. Just kinda wishing this deal went a little smoother for my first venture into the Group Buy thing....

Oh well I am sitting patiently waiting and hoping we manage to make a little progress this week...

Everyone that has sent me an e-mail requesting their money back should have it by Wednesday, they've all been sent out. I receive about 20 e-mails a day on average, I can't respond to everyone, but rest assure I'm sending any payment requested back.

As for the wait you quoted - that didn't take into account SAA would bail on their pricing and we'd have to find another supplier. Your email revolved around purchasing more lowers. I'm not in a situation to take orders for more until I've secured another supplier. If you would like me to return your payment I will. Anyone who sends me an e-mail who requests their money order back I will send it right back. If you did not keep your receipt and you need me to turn it back into a money order addressed to you it will be short the money order fee.

Jeff is still waiting on an e-mail back of Palmetto. I can't give any predictions on anything until they get back to us.

CJ;

I am patiently waiting for a new distributor, I still want the receivers, and will probably double my order if the opportunity arrises. I know you are working hard to figure this out, and I know the estimates were based on last year and assumed SAA would fill the order instead of being asses and money hungry dicks.

Hang on to my Money Order untill the end, and contact me ASAP if the opportunity presents it's self for me to increase my order. I got in on the tail end of the buy, and appreciate the opportunity, so I will gladly sit back and wait.

I only know CJ from lurking here forever. I would let CJ hold my dollar bills at the strip club.


I could add another lower and parts kit to my order if needed, once the new distributor gets lined out.



Someone might scam an intake from a group of car enthusiast, but you'd have to be batshit crazy to scam the people on this board, esspecially in the armory.

I would trust CJ with the code to my safe and a key to my house. He would be the last one on this board to F someone over.

That reminds me, CJ, I need to get over there and load up some of that .300 you are holding for us.

Did someone say .300? When and where baby!

Seth is coming by tomorrow to try and get it started. Hopefully by the end of the week we will be on the Dyno and by the weekend on the street.

I have 4 days off next weekend. We should try and sling some blackout down range again.

We've heard back from Palmetto and things are looking good. We're still ironing out the finals, but I think we may be able to salvage the GB at a good price. With the expected price increase, this is good news.
