| How backed up are they? I ordered some parts and they haven't billed the credit card yet. How long has anyone had to wait? |

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!! I have been waiting for 5 months for a complete Bushmaster bolt and carrier assembly. Check the Bushmaster forum pages.

| Most of the those AR15 manufactureres, except for Colt are pretty much mom & pop operations. One of the reasons that Bushmaster didn't bid on military contracts was the rate of delivery was just too great for them to meet. Most of them won't build a gun, until they have an actual order in hand. |

I ordered a complete Bushmaster Superlight barrel and A2 upper assembly w/bolt & bolt carrier at the end of September 2004 (the 28th, IIRC). I received the order sometime in the middle of January 2005. I didn't really mind the wait that much. What bugged me was that Bushmaster was never able during that time to give me an accurate delivery date. It gets old hearing every two or three weeks for over three months that it will, "...be a couple of weeks".  But overall, I'm very happy with the service I've always gotten from Bushmaster. I'd rate them as a very good company and I'll buy more stuff from them in the future. |

WyattEarp(?): Mags aren't problem since they are not new production. Coolio: It's really hard to plan that far out. You've got to line up all of your ducks before you can start assembling. Sometimes the vendors/sub-contractors has to make the various required components and all of this takes time, which makes things very unpredictable when you have many vendors. |
I was too. Then I picked up a RRA bolt/carrier from a dealer on the EE. Got it in 2 days. Save yourself the wait. |
