Just got an auto generated email saying my order dated 26 Dec 2013 just shipped. Maybe they're starting to get caught up!

Maybe Mitch J might want to call the shop before this thread turns into a Jack Ross ammo thread.
Taken from there website " We want to hear from you! Customer Service Hours: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM PST Weekdays. Closed weekends. Manufacturing facility open 24 hours. Send us an email: sales@80percentarms.com Give us a call: (949) 354-ARMS [2767] " |

80% Arms charges your credit card immediately so you have already paid them to provide the product within an informally agreed-upon time. They should certainly keep you updated if there's a significant delay. In your case though, since the delay is so long, I'd give them a call in case your entire order has been lost.

I figured with the holidays that there was going to be a delay. Purchased a 80% AR15 Lower and Easy Jig Kit. Ordered lower on 12/17 received 1/7. Ordered 80% Jig on 12/14, just received it today 2/4. I emailed them twice from the time purchased and both times they responded within a day saying that they were working fast a possible and gave me a estimated time they would ship it out. It would be great to receive it earlier but it doesn't really matter to me since I have a safe full of other guns I can shoot but I know some others are impatient. The only other thing I really want now from them is to post a video. I read the complete Manual which seems pretty straight forward but a how to video would make it 10x easier.

Yeah, before everybody breaks out the torches and pitchforks, take a deep breath. My guess is that they are a bit busy right now with everything going on. I just got a reply this morning to a PM I sent last week letting me know that my replacement lower is a couple of weeks out. They are still alive and apparently trying to keep up. Not every company is Ares Armor. Give them a chance to catch up.

I messaged them this morning on their FB page got a reply this afternoon. They said the video is done and should be posted in the next few days. Judging by the posts in this thread they have said that before a FEW times. We shall see.

Hello all,
If you need an update on your order, please call or email us. We respond to all inquiries very quickly. PM on Calguns takes a little longer, the fastest way to get in touch is to email us directly. At this point, we are nearly caught up on all Easy Jig pre-orders. If you have an older order that has not shipped within the time frame given to you on the site when you placed your order, please contact us and we will figure out why. We're almost totally caught up on older orders to a point where everything at this point is shipping within the time frames we estimated on our website. The only thing right now that is running significantly behind the ship date we estimated is our .308 pre-orders. Trust us, we're working like dogs to solve that issue. A number of things beyond our control went wrong that really delayed us on that. Due to the nature of the .308 lowers being a pre-order sale, we made our best guess as to when they would be ready to ship. It was a good guess, had we not had to deal with major equipment failures that we did not anticipate. We learned from this. This is the last time we're doing a pre-order sale unless we can pin the ship date with 100% accuracy. Unless the product is ready to ship out the door, it's very difficult to predict an exact ship date and far to easy to frustrate a lot of good, valued customers. Regarding the Easy Jig video, we apologize it's taken so long. We're at the mercy of the media company who worked with us on it. We're not happy about how long it's taken, believe me. We've been promised the final version will be made available to us later today. Assuming they made the corrections we requested, we'll post on our Youtube channel tonight, or as soon as we have final end it hand. Thank you guys for being extraordinarily patient. We really appreciate it and will do our best to keep our end of the bargain by delivering quality products to you in a timely fashion. Best Regards, 80% Arms

Ive been dealing with 80% arms now for about a year. If Ive had an issue they have been great in resolving it. Ive dealt with Carol who is awesome about returning emails in a timely manner and have also dealt with Tilden who went out of his way to find the answers to some tech problems. Although Im not thrilled with the backorders and having to wait I know its because they want us to have the best problem free products. You know the old saying..... Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door. Really looking forward to seeing this video.

I was just stating that I had used the jig to do mine. Not that I was the first one to slap one in or anything. I figured people would be interested.

Has anyone been able to open the shop manual link for the easy jig on 80%'s site ? Im not talking about the list of things you need but the PDF of the entire milling process. I know there was an issue with the video but for some reason I cant get the file to open for me.

We're not aware of any issue with the PDF, possibly try loading it on a different computer and see if the problem persists? There are no issues with the video. It's hosted on Youtube.

Thanbks Rifleman I had seen the one that was completed I was hoping by now there would be a few others. Ive done quite a few lowers with the universal jig that have come out quite nice but Im really looking forward to my easy jig coming. I know what endmills they are suggesting to use but I prefer a shorter LOC Ive learned my lesson in the past by screwing up a cpl guide plates. I did come accross a cpl 1/4" endmills with a 3/8" LOC that will get me past the dreaded roughing process. They are 4 Flute rather than 3 but I plan on cleaning them off quite a bit to prevent clogging up with shavings. Ive read in a cpl other post that says a QD lower does fit but the trigger guard extends past the botton of the jig. I usually always us 80% arms lowers but they do not off a raw unfinished lower, Ive gotten the bead blasted and the black but I would really like a raw that I can buff and tool. If anyone has any suggestions Id appreciate it.

At the time I was considering having the lower cerakoted. I called HP Custom in Orange County about cerakoting a lower without a serial number and the guy got pretty angry that I would even dare to ask. He got even angrier when I asked if I had to provide ID. I quickly realized that if I wanted a lower cerakoted I would have to take it with me on my next trip to America. I called Saber River Gunsmithing in Prescott, AZ and the guy told me sure, bring it on in.

Jeepers, Ive gotten quite a few uppers from them in the past and they are a great company to deal with. Im thinking orders are coming in faster than they can fill them. There are guys that have gotten their jigs and lowers. Read the entire thread and there are pix of a finished lower. According to 80%'s site there is a 4 week back order on jigs and 8 weeks on lowers. You can wait till they catch up but if it takes longer than 4 weeks youll kick yourself for not ordering one. Your call

The back-order times have steadily increased. Apparently, many of the world's most elite gun owners want to enjoy the mystique of owning a "ghost gun" that disperses with 30 caliber magazine clips in half a second.

We charge it up front. The reason for this is because if we don't charge the card up front, we face the problem of the card not going through once a customer's order is ready to ship. It's not too uncommon for a card to be maxed out or get declined for whatever reason. If we hadn't charged the card up front, we'd have no way of knowing if the card would work until we tried to ship the order. If the card didn't work, it takes a lot of time for our shipping department to let our customer service department know, have someone call the customer to get a new card, wait for them to call us back with a working credit card number, etc. It's just an enormous hassle, and we are super busy as it is. We wish there was a better way of doing it, but we've found this is just what works best. In a perfect world, everyone would give us a card number that worked, credit card companies wouldn't decline cards for no reason, and we would scrap this policy. Hopefully you can see our perspective on why we do this
