Does anyone know what the wait is for CMMG 14.5 M4 barrels?

My FFL told me wait is 2-3 months for a complete rifle but that is due to the lack of barrels.  I was told barrels are 6-8 weeks out depending upon the barrel.  This might not be rock solid info though.  Mike.

Expect 2-4 months, CMMG is swamped.  Also communication from them is spotty from my experience.

I got my upper (16" though)
from CMMG in 20-30 days

My 14.7" complete carbine-length upper with staked hider took a little over two weeks. (Received it two months ago)

My 14.5" complete mid-length upper with staked hider took a little over three weeks. (just got it three days ago)

And hell yeah it's worth the wait.

Their stuff is great, but they are lacking in the customer service area.  Until I hear more positive reviews of CMMG, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

I keep hearing this about their lack of customer service, but so far my experience with them has been great.

My 14.5 Midlength upper and LPK were shipped in exactly 14 days (and that's what they told me when I placed the order) from the time I placed my order. It was at my door in under 20.

Let's try the industry forum.

Ummm, I have 5 CMMG Rifles, each and every one of them top notch performers. I have never failed to have great customer service from them. They are not a massive outfit but they always take care of me.

My carbine length 14.5" took around 2 weeks

The only problems I've had CS related have been getting ahold of them - just call around 9AM CST, and you'll get ahold of a person, which generally takes care of it.  If you're willing to wait for them, the product does speak for itself.  Not perfect, stories that they may they make mistakes time to time - gas tubes, etc. (as do most manufacturers), but my personal experience has been high quality, very attractive, and overall very positive

Have you called / e-mailed / tried the CMMG industry forum?

Ordered my 14.5 gov't M4 upper 5/27 & it shipped to me yesterday. I should have it tomorrow or Fri. Sheri from CMMG called me at home to advise it was being shipped & they kept me updated via e-mail as to its production status prior to that. HTF is that terrible CS? But I don't get pissy with them because I have to wait on an order so it seems the favor has been returned. Attitude is everything.

Best bet is to order from AIM.

I was told 6-8 weeks on my 18in Upper.

9 is the longest I've heard to date - how long I waited for an SPR upper (mostly because they were out of MUR receivers).

I'd still expect under three weeks.

I also still reccomend going through a retailer, such as AIM Surplus if wait time is an issue at all.

::ETA::

I think they're having a hard enough time keeping it current.  There's been a whole batch of CMMG Piston driven uppers (PWS system iirc) that have come and left, and preparations to make a run in 6.8SPC.

They're doing WASP coatings on a variety of stuff too, not just magazine followers (although their SSAT ones are gorgeous)

None of that is reflected on the website, hence why calling is so much better for the time being.

Last I heard they are out of 16" government and lightweight barrels.  14.5" is selling quite well also.

I wish they would make an inventory page so that customers had some idea of how long it might be.
