    Wow, that sounds inadmissible. I think it is a no-go to tell you on the website that all products are on backorder and then let you wait for half a year. What do they say if you call them?
    I haven't i got bolts with the barrels i picked up off midwayusa so not in any hurry. When they come i was just going use them as back ups in case i break a lug or something.

        Just received my Fail Zero Bolt Carrier today!!! It is awesome!!!
        After a first inspection I wiped all the fingerprints away with a cloth and some isopropanol. After that I coated it with a special PTFE/Ceramic spray I got from Austria (http://www.guncoating.at/

          The day before never.

          I ordered a couple of hard use bolts as eventual back ups a month ago. While I was placing the order I kept hearing the old Smash mouth song Walking in on the Sun playing in head.

          "So don't delay act now supplies are running out
          Allow if you're still alive six to eight years to arrive
          And if you follow there may be a tomorrow
          But if the offer's shunned you might as well be walkin' on the sun"
          "Those who sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither." Benjamin Franklin

              They don't export into the U.S yet, but are looking into it.

                  I didn't contact the Austrian's directly but I did get a message to their Canadian distributor...and they tell me it costs $100 a can here! It would have to be pretty amazing at that price. lol

                    Well, 100 bucks a can is quite heavy, I think that would be caused by freight and shipping costs because it's an aerosol,right?

                        Well, I paid about 20,-€ for about 300ml that is equal to 26$ for 10,14 fl. oz.

                        I think its fair because the can lasts really long.

                          Actually a third of a liter is more intuitive for me than 10 oz is. lol Plus, wow $26 is 20 euros....I had no idea they were that close nowadays. I would definitely pay $26 or even $35 with shipping but not so much with $100 plus shipping unless it worked as well as cerekote or something unbelievable.
