Just out of curiousity...has anyone ordered a 300BLK upper? If so, what was the wait time like? I put in an order 04/13 for the 10" w/ 9" BAR...looking for an estimation of wait. I know it's only a short period of time considering what others have been going through...I'm still on "issued" as of now...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk my order was for standard spider lower with enhanced kit. and i emailed them and asked if it would be longer than 16 weeks (been 10-11weeks for me now ) and all they said was quote :that i was in the same boat as them- that i was waiting on them and their waiting on supplyers . unquote: they could`nt even respond about 16 weeks . i got no color order. if i were to go 100% standard i could of bought from my local -core 15 (gto) or pawnshop or gun show or any other dealer and paid half the price! i picked spikes for upgrade better qaulity better specs and better individual custom service and those extra details. i have kids and i treestand still hunt and ima former army vet so im very patient but not when i hear and read about what seems to be a consistant supplier issue in forums not just limited 1 or 2 times but many and also the same thing last year .just read dates on st wait time post reposted . im a very reasonable person and just expect reasonable build times or reasonable delays and open honesty and most important fantastic qaulity especially considering wait time. the problem really is these problems are beginning to paint a picture and my gut dont feel good about it . so far im hanging but this talk of extra 4 months is going to far and st isnt confirming or denying anything ! leaving us to question st and ourselves , and all of us on are left forum digging for some kind of answers. i think i speak for many .were are all still hoping spikes lives up to our expectations . i guess that sums it up. sorry

Wow that's uncomforting news...I thought they were just over shooting their wait times just to be safe but your on week 11 and nothing.. I debated even called to cancel my order but I chose not to being I'm 7 weeks in... I hope my decision to keep my faith in spikes doesn't bight me in the ass. I was really hoping 10 weeks is around the time I wait

It's going to be the end of summer it seems before I see my rifle... Buddy is on week 11 have they told you where your rifle build stands ? I'm trying to stay positive but they don't seem to be staying within the time frame that they are saying.. Week 11 for a basic rifle and buddy is still waiting I'm on week 7 so I'm still anticipating 10-12 weeks but it's not looking that way

Here's my first post. Like everyone else I expected a wait. I am on week 7 for a basic carbine build with color fill. In the meantime I decided to have an informal competition. I am going to see who can build a complete rifle faster. It took a week and a half of searching the net to find all the pieces. The punisher stripped lower was the hardest. Anyway, all of the parts should be here this week. My Spikes LPK shipped today. Too bad I will not be able to start the build until after May 5.

Don't count on 10-12 weeks unless you are also counting on disappointment. Sorry man.
