Alright so I ordered an upper a while ago and am getting impatient about getting it. I got sick of one company that kept saying "It's being shipped tomorrow." and canceled the order after they admitted otherwise after the fourth week of the BS.
So now I am in my third month of waiting on another company that- at the time of the order- said a 2-4 week wait. Later they altered it to say they can't give an estimate. I send them an e-mail every few weeks to make sure they know I'm alive. I don't fault them for the delay as they have been honest with me and I'm sure they will send it out as soon as mine comes in. I know they are at the mercy of DPMS (the brand I chose) and griping at them will do little.
None the less, I must vent somewhere and chose here. The wait is killing me! I have components waiting for me to measure the chamber so that I can test out some loads. There are yotes and g-hogs waiting for me to get out there with a fast shooting and accurate rifle. I am dying to turn the thing loose on a certain field I am leaving alone and see if 500yds is possible for be from a 16" barrel. Right now my daughter's Rossi .223 and my Mauser .257 are keeping the peace, but one is tiny and the other tears the target apart.
Can anyone tell me what is up at DPMS? Are all the companies taking this long to fill their orders? I would have thought the big rush had stabilized by now, but I guess not. As I said I'm just itching to get the thing and get it into service. Please excuse the rant and chalk it up to frustration. I had to let it out or explode and the wife still thinks AR's are "dangerous and useless" so she is less than sympathetic.
