    Looking for a recommendation about backordering

    So I've been working on building another AR for a few week now, and as if parts weren't hard enough to find before, now it's just nuts.

    I don't have time to sit in front of the computer all day pushing refresh, and hoping to get in before something sells out in an hour. That being said, anyone have any recommendations on backordering? I've got enough ammo, mags, etc, for the time being, and at this point, I'd just like to get in a line and forget about it. I don't care about waiting 8 weeks, I just want to know it'll show up sooner or later. I've backordered with Brownells, Cabela's and Midway in the past, but is there a better source?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    ar15sales.com, 20 weeks, worked like a charm during previous panic buy of 2008.

      You have millions of experienced AR guys and even more newbies searching the web for just about anything AR related, so I don't thinks there's any "secret" sources left... or that anybody would be willing to post in an open forum for that matter.

      Go with a reputable supplier and get your order in. Midway would be my choice I guess...

        The three you listed are probably better than anyone else. Vendors tend to take care of the large accounts first, and those three are the real elephants.

              Roll the dice man, that is all we can do right now.

                Thanks for the input. Kinda figured, but I'd rather give my money to a little guy than one of the big boys. Issue has been at the local shops, I'll go in asking to order, and they just turn me down!
                Like the original post said, I'm really not in a rush, so I'll just get in line!

                  Just gotta be patient. Kinda tough though as I saw my family and friends open up their Xmas gifts yesterday and the day before yet I have to wait 6 months for mine!! Its okay though... I have other things to keep me occupied... just a part of this 'you don't miss the water till the well runs dry syndrome' I guess.
