I still haven't heard a firm date on the railed uppers. We got some of the Lefties in two days ago for the group buy as well as some of the back ordered 6.5 bolts. (finally!) Now I'm just hoping the 308 Bolts and BCGs as well as our railed uppers aren't too far behind. And if we're really lucky, maybe some more of the old bolt pattern so I can ship some of those out to folks too. But again, I haven't heard much of anything. I was genuinely surprised to see the 6.5's so I could finally send of some new pattern BCGs. I feel like a mushroom sometimes...they keep me in the dark.

Always nice to get stuff in that was way overdue!! As to the mushroom thing there's a morel in there somewhere. Greg

Thanks for the honest reply regarding turnaround time on the barrels. Most places will take your money and never tell you this. I'm going to have to order my 264 shortly since hunting season will be here before you know it.

Any new info on the railed uppers?
If no hard news on the uppers, any chance I can change order to a barrel(s) order? With refund/pay of the difference? If so who do I call?

Thanks for the honest reply regarding turnaround time on the barrels. Most places will take your money and never tell you this. I'm going to have to order my 264 shortly since hunting season will be here before you know it. Thank you, I appreciate it. And you also have reminded me that summer is nearly over! I'm not ready for fall just yet... although those cooler temps will be nice. Any new info on the railed uppers? If no hard news on the uppers, any chance I can change order to a barrel(s) order? With refund/pay of the difference? If so who do I call? I heard a rumor we'd be getting a few in August, but to me that's just hearsay until I get a firm date. And if it is just a few I dispense them based on who is at the top of the waiting list first. You can in fact change your order and have the balance refunded/applied towards a new order. I unfortunately don't have any access to the finances so the person you will want to talk to is Gale our accounting person. Her direct number is 509-793-5374 and she will be available Wednesday, August 10 (as she is away on vacation for the rest of this week week and part of next.) Also, if you can get your 10 posts in you can take advantage of the 10% BHW forum member's discount on barrels!

Never met a shooter yet that couldn't come up with at least ten coherent statements. Just discussing what you have now and what you want to do down the road will get you half of them. Once you get the 10 in for the discount consider that you are 20% on your way to the free t-shirt. Once again I never new a shooter to pass up a FREE quality t-shirt!! Greg

Any new information on the uppers? Did a batch come in as hoped and now working your way down a list? or still waiting for a batch?

We did get a small batch of right handed ones in just this last week along with the dust cover's we've been waiting on for the Left handed uppers.
Unfortunately they didn't send us enough to cover all our orders for the right-handed ones, but we are working our way down the list. I know some of you folks have been waiting an awful long time--some since before I started here back in March. :\

ugh... I've only been on the list since the end of June for a 308 upper/bcg.
Just got my barrel today tho. Fedex mangled the shipping tube, barrel slid right out (safely in its bubble wrap). No wonder the dude didnt ring the bell and sprinted back to his van.
Got a pile of parts under under my chair... patience, patience, patience....

308 Uppers are still on hold. We did get some 308 uppers in but they weren't railed as we'd asked them to produce. Because when the box came I was pretty giddy--I actually danced around the shop. Then I opened it. I'd give us a call and speak with Gale directly for more of a progress report since she deals with the folks in charge of making our uppers. She'll be able to tell you more. 509-760-5703

Will do.
I was hoping the vendor had straightened things out and I was just truly "on the list." I dont like the unknown factor. Thanks for the reply.

I heard a batch of 5.56 barrels was completed recently. Any credit to this?
Just curious, because mine might have been in the crowd.

You've heard correct. We just put through almost 300 5.56 bbls in the last two weeks (around 70 of those a handful of us came in on the weekend to finish up so they could ship yesterday) and I know there are at least another 200 more coming through production as well. And that is just the 5.56 barrels--the majority were 16" carbine though.
This week we are pushing hard to get a big chunk of individual orders out. As of this morning there were a great deal of single customer orders that were taken to Finishing. They're all various sizes and calibers so it could be there already. I'd give Stacy or Andy an email or call to confirm for sure.
I know I've personally seen a few coming in to be lasered for folks who have been waiting for quite a while (summer and early fall), but as of this morning, nothing in 5.56. Don't be afraid to email us or call (if no answer, PLEASE leave a message as we can be on another call) if it's been longer than 8 weeks since your order was placed and you wish to check its status.
