Customs, yuck.

They gonna return us some money back? Or give us some swag for this wait?

Probably stuck at the west-coast ports that were on strike. Not really their fault.

A bit their fault in that that told me they could make our deadline without problem, and I talked to them 2 or 3 time prior to ordering. I'll ask for compensation once they get closer to shipping.

Technically they thought they'd need to build a few, but the point is the same.

U S A, U S A!!

I talked to them some about the forgings being made overseas. Apparently they worked to find someone here that could do it to their specs and weren't able to, at least not in the quantities they needed.

Any word on joints?

Work has been nuts, haven't had a chance to follow up. I'll shoot them an email tomorrow.

Forged parts are still hung up in customs and they're working to get them free. They can ship fabricated ends now if any of you want to go that route. I'm contemplating canceling my part of the order and picking up some Johnny Joints.

I'm in for the long haul on the forged ends, no hurry here.

I'm in no hurry either.

No hurry here either. I just dont want this to be the same deal as the guy's on CB with the BC radius arms.

Or those assclowns Battlement Fab.

Yep, what they said.

What happened with the BC arms? I'm way too lazy to search over there.

They started a mass buy over a year ago and took half payment from everyone. They just now got the parts to start building the arms.

I have learned to NOT buy anything from them unless they have it in stock. I always call to place my order and make sure they have it. They seem to be the one vendor that never has anything in stock but takes your money.

Just got an email from Metalcloak. Per Will, "Just got told I should have them by the end of the week. We will see how well this holds but it at least an update." Will continue to forward info as I get it. I'm guessing they'll need a little time to build the joints once they get the forgings in hand.

Got an unprompted email from Metalcloak. Our forgings should arrive today or tomorrow. Progress!

The joints have shipped! Should be here Thursday. Since they're being sent with a signature required, I had it rerouted to a UPS store and I ought to be able to pick them up Friday at the latest.

Thats awesome news!!!! Im getting excited now.

They're out on the truck for delivery! Hopefully they'll deliver to the UPS store-still showing as delivery to my house. I'll get it worked out one way or another.

You can drop them at my house if need be.

This is what 58.6 pounds of (non-amendment 64 compliant) joints look like. Come and get'em!

You goin by my work any day this next week?
