Everyone should have theirs by end of next week. I think we only had 6 or so that didn't make the cut-off before the move. They were among the first rifles that went through after the machinery was set up and qualified last week. 3 of those 6 were delivered this week, the rest will be finishing up next week.
Sorry some of you got caught in the move. We did everything in our power to head that off, but ultimately our timeline is dictated by component deliveries. We killed it on this project each time parts delivered, but lost ground on the weeks they didn't. Overall, there were not many huge delays with any of the suppliers and I'm thankful for that. The bulk of them completed on our planned schedule. It seems like it runs a little smoother each year, but there's always a few......
The silver lining for those of you who ended up at the end of the line is that we used our down time during the move to build some new tool holding fixtures for our chambering lathe. We actually cut and reamed the fixtures on the actual lathe, and have completely moved away from commercial tool holding options. While our low chamber runout numbers have always been one of our biggest strong suits, it just got propelled to the next level with the new tooling. We're 20 something chambers in so far, and I'm still having a hard time believing the runout numbers.......or lack thereof.

Always improving! I’m ready for next years build. Even though I missed this years build, I ordered one anyways and I can assure you I won’t miss next years build!
