+1 for AresArmor

[dankmin]

Emailed them about lead time for the lowers and they said october...

[Sycoman]

I just ordered 3. I dont care about the wait. Parts are hard enough to find. And it will probably take me a few months to save up for the parts. I love them for not price gouging..

[Brewtt]

I ordered annodized in late November... still nothing.

Showed up today out of the blue. Almost 2 months to the day from order.

No call, no email, no tracking number, no shipping notification or anything. Just glad it showed up.

For those that cannot reach Ares by phone, try emailing Mike. He has been getting back to me within 24 hours on bad days and within a couple of hours on good days. I ordered mine on 12-19-12, but was told Tuesday that it would be mid February when they come in. I will keep you guys posted. Mike's email is mike@aresarmor.com .
Good luck everyone.

That sucks to hear that Ares machines are down. They are pretty efficient at getting everyone through the process. Hmmm, if you need to go elsewhere for machining the 80% blanks, just let me know. I will coordinate appointments for the shop I'm working with down here. He's right off of Miramar Rd. For all that he has done for me, I'd love to get a bunch of folks in to finish their lowers. It only takes about 20 minutes per unit. PM me if you are interested.

Your order will be going out this month. We are shipping orders in which they were received, and are currently fulfilling orders from December 17th. In all honesty, it should be just a few more days before your lowers go out. As for the jig, they are currently in production we are still about a month out from receiving shipment.

Thank you, we greatly appreciate your patience and understanding.

I understand the climate is causing huge panic buying and backorders. However my order is now 2 months old, my credit card was charged. And still nothing.
When I ordered, It did not say the items were out of stock, it did not say there would be a 2 month+ wait, it didn't say you would charge a cancellation fee.
I would like an honest answer of when my order will ship

Good luck with that.. they have yet to respond to my same question.
Super poor business practice IMO to charge for an item you dont have in stock or know exactly when it will be.. and then there is the cancellation fee.. UGH!!!

[doug5551]

Thanks for the updates.

I am in the Dec 22 order boat myself.

I still don't mind waiting as long as it comes in.

[lgg1911]

When I walked in last week (Wednesday, I think), they said if you ordered pre- December 18, you can pick-up today, otherwise, mid-April (I ordered in mid-Jan).

I'm sure that they'll keep updating things as production ramps up.

Big -1 for ares armor for publicizing home builds on the radio, and likely leading to this avenue of gun ownership being closed

Seriously. What kind of business tries to increase their business and profit? We should have the anti-gun legislators in this state ban gun companies from advertising lawful compliance with complex state regulations in order to protect the illusion of freedom since we are afraid to exercise our rights lest we lose them. I will never do business with Ares ever again.

Good to hear, I ordered on 12/17. Hope to see it show up soon.

BofA sucks.

In the process of moving all my accounts from bofa to another. F'em!
