CLOSED Faxon 12" 6.5 Grendel Group Buy $155 + S&H

[sneaky one]

I looked at this--- patience is a true virtue guys.

Back a few years --- AA was bogged down so bad, they almost stopped all orders. Bill A got the bbl. making unit for in house sales. A many many of us pushed sales hardcore.

It's go time for the economy, sales , etc.

Bft was recently married, moving to new spot, wife is from out of town. Things take time. Chill out guys, gals.

Faxon is an awesome company. Let's all let this unfold. It's cool...

I ordered a stripped lower from Alexander arms after Sandy hook. Took over a year to get a stripped upper.

It's already unfolded, and poorly. they have kept us in the dark and not hit their own deadlines, twice.

For a group buy of this scope and caliber of people, Faxon dropped the ball on communication. Working with BFT to get a custom rifling to introduce to the market shows they are willing to innovate. From what I saw of the product I had in hand, the craftsmanship is there. I understand there are issues that will pop up but after dropping the ball and shipping defective product, the lack of updates certainly chafes.... A simple post when the stated deadline passed giving an update would have gone miles to ease the consternation seen here. If in fact the barrels are now shipping, Faxon should have popped on here when the deadline they stated passed and said "Almost done. Shipping in the next few days." Unfortunately, all we hear are crickets from Faxon....

Precisely why I would never buy from aa again! (except perhaps elanders, but I think there are other sources...) Believe it or not guys, faxons comm isn't as bad as aa's...

While I know the wait is maddening, this is nothing, I had the NFA take 16 months for a HK MP5SD approval...

but this is for a barrel , not an nfa item

i've waited over a year for a stamp also and this is nothing like that wait , i knew that i was in for a long wait with no communication from the batfe going in.

I replied to Faxon's email and requested a tracking number when it ships. I am pessimistic, although my fingers are crossed.

If I have a tracking number in my inbox by this afternoon, I will be floored.

Does anybody have any range reports, build pics, velocity readings with the barrels that did ship?

Would love to see that please.

So did anyone receive a tracking number?

Or, "sure is warm/cold today" depending on season. I'm sure if anyone has one in hand we'd hear about it, at least I'd hope.

Their were posts when people had them showing pretty promising results.
