| Picked a bad time to get bit by the Grendel bug. All I need is a barrel and bolt. Can anyone from AA comment on how long before barrels and bolts become available? I'm in the mood for an 18" upper but given the current environment I guess I can't be picky. |

We don't expect to have barrel/bolt availability before the end of the year, and possibly longer, for separate sales. Until then we have dedicated all of them to upper and rifle production. Sales made prior will still be honored when we have them available. |

I have a order in from NOV 25th for a barrel bolt combo. So are any barrels that come in going directly to upper or full rifle configurations? Does this mean my order has been put on the back burner or that it will be filled as barrels come available and my order is up?
Your response makes it sound like all barrels are going to full and upper builds first regardless when a order was submitted. Thanks |

Fantastic. Maybe by mid-2014 I'll find out of this Sabre Defence 6.5 Grendel upper works or not. You guys should consider taking them off the online store. |

Your response makes it sound like all barrels are going to full and upper builds first regardless when a order was submitted. Thanks Orders received prior to the decision to not accept new orders for barrel/bolt combos will be shipped in the order they were received. That line is much longer than we wish it were, but you will eventually get your barrel and bolt. I'm sorry my reply was confusing. No NEW barrel/bolt orders are being accepted since we need to build uppers and rifles. |

The answer applies only to barrel/bolt combos, not orders for bolts, which are still be accepted. Unfortunately, the industry capacity to produce bolts seems about maxed out, but we will try to fill those orders as soon as we can. |

We are building 16" and 18" rifles and uppers, but are awaiting more 20" barrels and the profile work required for them. Barrels are being shipped in the order that the request was received. We have just finally caught up the backlog of orders and gotten them entered into the system. We now have all orders entered, (We were more than a month behind at order entry for quite a while.) If you ordered in November your order is in the system, but awaiting barrels. |
