New Parts On The Way

  We finally have new parts on the way and will have more information up in the next week. Thanks to all those who have been waiting to see new stuff on the site.

  Now, for the parts on order. We are waiting for some forward assists, ejection port doors, and barrel nuts. They should be in sometime next week. The most awaited of the shipments is the Adam's Arms Mid-Length Piston Conversion Kit. I have looked high and low and finally found a seller online that had the Piston Kit in stock. I have also located some Aero Precision upper receivers and they are on their way as well. I will be reviewing the uppers for fit and finish when attached to the Spike's Tactical and Loki Weapons Systems lower receivers. These items are on the truck and on their way.

  We are looking forward to reviewing the parts on order and would like to hear from anyone else that has experience with any of the brands listed in our articles. Please, be sure to post in the comments section and visit us on Facebook. 

  So, please remember to be safe and as always, keep it down range.

Parts Availability

  I have been looking for parts for the AR15 and have noticed that parts are sold out in many of the usual places. In fact, many of the sites are taking backorders. I know that one of the locally run forum sites have had some group buys that have been waiting a few weeks for items that have been ordered.

  I'm not sure what has caused the problem with availability. Could it be that interest for parts has increased or has parts production slowed? If you are looking for an upper or lower receiver and want specific manufacturer labels or configurations, you may have to wait a few weeks for delivery. I do not believe this should dissuade you from ordering. I know that the parts will be delivered, but there may be a significant wait. Most online stores will not give estimates due to the fact that they are not sure when they will receive new inventory.

  I suppose the increase in interest or lack of inventory could be attributed to many factors. If anyone would like to give an opinion on the current parts on hand issue, please place it in the comments section below. Also, if you can find a site with stock on hand please post that as well.

  So, please remember to be safe and as always, keep it down range.
