Doc,
How can you say that Serbu got greedy when he hasn't changed the price on the BFG in years? When he first offered them for sale "introductory price" they were about $900. They were offered at that price to get people to buy them and get some reviews out there.
Plus Mark has repeatedly stated that he's doing everything he can to keep the BFG-50A (semi) at 5K. Barrett's first sold for about 3K back in the 80's and now they're $7,500 so...
Personally I don't think they got greedy, prices change on things all the time. You don't have to like it but if you want to play you have to pay. My gripe with anything is the cost of ammo, overnight the prices went from normal to outrageous. That's why I reload and refuse to pay these rediculous prices.

And as to the name of my company? I've always thought it was a great acronym. Hence the donkey (i.e Democratic party) as part of the logo.
Actually you'd be supprised as to how many people don't know what it stands for (BOHICA or the Donkey)
I'ts nice to be giving it to them for a change!!!

Hey Chris!
Welcome to The High Road! Can hardly wait to get that .50 BMG! As has been said by others here, and I think we all agree, it is far better to wait for that perfected upper, than rush and not get it right. You seem to be a perfectionist! I have a genuine appreciation for the perfectionists' products. They are well worth the wait.
Thanks and again, welcome!

The Basic Serbu is up from $1,195.00 when I was first quoted to now $2,195.00? That's a big increase in two years that I have tracked them. JMHO. But, JMHO is what drives my participation in the market economy. Businesses charge (at times) by what the market will bear. My wallet won't bear $2,195.00

Chris, glad you're here.
I absolutely think you're doing the right thing by putting quality first. Well, a tie for first with customer communication. Get those two right and my grandkids will be talking about Colt, Remington, and Bohica when looking at firearm purchases.
Good luck and keep making them--saving my pennies, but it'll be a while yet. (though written in ink on my gotta have list)

Mark Serbu's rifle has been that price for at least six years, I still think it's an awesome deal. I can't spend $2.2K on a rifle either, but if I could, a nice guy like Mark would get my dough.
Bohica sounds like a real shooter oriented company, an awesome thing to see in the world of faux tactical outfits selling overpriced chunks of black metal.

Word. . ..
Guys - I'm really hoping to finish this week and ship early next week.
Like I told one customer today, just cleaning them is a pain! I have 100+ 50 BMG rifles to clean. . . Think about that, It's a pain after 3 hours on the range to clean the 3 you may bring out now go for 100.
They all need to be final inspected, handguards installed, manuals printed, wrapped, boxed, invoiced, ups label printed, order cross checked for bbl length, color & chambering, etc.
This is a very large project and I thank everybody for their patience.
I really didn't know that it would take so long to wrap up all the loose ends and get the product shipped.
Thanks again

Man my bank account wishes this thread would just go away. 
Just about the time I talk myself out of buying a .50 BMG (too impractical, too expensive, don't need it, tough to find a place to shoot it, etc.) this thread keeps popping back up.
These uppers really do look like a great product. If my new job works out as planned I think there may be a Bohica under my Christmas tree.

Chris has to make a trip to pick up the remaining barrels. I personally am not pushing at all for "prompt" or specific-date delivery. I prefer to wait patiently and get the upper when able, and in excellent condition and quality. Chris indicated to me that my upper should arrive ship on Wednesday and projects arrival to me on Friday coming. If that date changes, it changes.
As I have stated many times, my upper will arrive when it arrives, and I am certain the time remaining for delivery will be reasonable. Start-up businesses are horrdily difficult tasks. My support to Chris, and my patience remain unwaivering.
God speed Chris and safe travel.

The only firm date I got was when I originally placed my order - he said production should start at the end of August and ship sometime in the month thereafter. To me, we're way ahead of schedule!
The only problem is that now I'm excited about it.
I too would prefer to wait for a quality product rather than have corners cut just to get them out the door.

Hi Guys,
I won't be making a Montana run until after these have shipped, I had oversold the 30" barrels by accident and was short 5. I have spoken with those buyers and they said they'd wait a week until everyone else's has shipped.
To those guys thanks a lot!
To every one else....... Thanks as well
