JD Machine Lower Receiver Backorders (direct purchase)
 
I was wondering if anyone has had their order ship for any JD Machine lower receivers since December. I know their backorder time is 8-12 weeks at the moment, but I am wondering if anyone that had placed their order in December or recently and has had their order ship.

I place my order on 12/29 and have not received any shipping notification to my FFL.

Thank you to anyone else who has ordered and can provide information.


MODS: If this is the wrong forum please move.

I placed an order for a lower on 12/17/12 and it showed up to my FFL on 1/4/13.

Thanks for the info! Did they send you any email notification, or did you see your order status change on their website?

slaphappy 01-18-2013 6:08 PM

They did not send me any email. They actually ignored an email I sent to them. I did not check the website for the status. It just showed up and my FFL notified me.

I placed my order on the 19th and haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully soon.

brownfeathermedic 01-18-2013 7:21 PM

I ordered 2 lowers and they said it was going to take 17 days. hope I didn"t misunderstand them. I got the Cal Gun Logo and a COMPANY logo.

Tuspejo 01-18-2013 7:23 PM

is it possible to order from them and do the whole dros through them at their location in san diego?

Yes, you can do everything at their San Diego location. I ordered two lowers from them last week and they gave a lead time of 12-14 weeks, and mentioned that they are behind by about 4000 lowers

Edit: I did this in person

TheDigitalPicasso 01-18-2013 7:45 PM

Any one know their ETA's as of today, I wanna purchase a few and I wanted to know when will they be ready? I don'tind waiting 2 months as long as I don't get ripped off.

iwindsurf78 01-18-2013 8:01 PM

Same boat. I would order, don't care about lead times. anybody have a link to the lowers?

RPVFlyer 01-18-2013 8:02 PM

I placed an order from them last week also. Haven't heard a peep or been able to contact them. Bummer since they seem good quality

jeff70 01-18-2013 10:10 PM

I ordered 2 on 12/22 from their website after I talked to someone on the phone who told me 5-6wks I emailed them yesterday and was told to drop them a email next wednesday for a status check.

I ordered 3 lowers on 12/23 and received an email on 1/3 from them asking for my FFL info - but nothing since. I think I'll email my FFL and see if they showed up.

XCaligulaX 01-19-2013 7:20 AM

I ordered my Calgun's lower from their booth at the Cow Palace gun show last week. They quoted me a 10-12 week lead time. I'm in the same boat, lead times don't really matter to me. It's the lower I want and I'm not settling for anything else!

iwindsurf78 01-19-2013 7:23 AM

I placed an order today and sent an email as a follow up. I'll let you know how it goes. Also, found a guy who is doing complete billet lowers for $150

arenner18 01-19-2013 8:47 AM

Iwindsurg- how do they go about contacting your FFL? did you give them the info or do you have to wait until its ready to ship? I might just order one myself, even if i do have to wait.

iwindsurf78 01-19-2013 8:52 AM

I read earlier that they will email for the FFL. I sent them an email Asking how they want to do it.

ginger_beard_man 01-19-2013 9:05 AM

I placed an order on December 18 for a Calguns lower. They contacted me on the 26th saying they needed my FFL info to process the shipment. I sent the FFL info back to them on the 26th.

Still haven't heard anything. Contacted my FFL and they don't have it, been trying to call and email JD machine and nobody has responded to me.

Mbiker_101 01-19-2013 10:27 AM

Just a note on JD machine, I'm local and they are a great shop. They are just super swamped now and can't take calls because the phone is ringing off the hook. My friends ordered lowers on the 26th and picked them up last week, they are about 4weeks behind I believe they just got the order in before the major rush.

Keep in my they have not raised prices since the ****e storm and are great shop with honest people. They even gave me a tour of the facility a few years ago and showed me every step of the process, even let me check out Jesse's private gun safe with tons of toys!!! Again great people and I would not hesitate to do business with them.

Which is exactly why my I'm looking for one right now lol.

dikroundtree 01-19-2013 10:52 AM

I ordered 12/19. They contacted me to ask where to FFL but not shipped yet.

Seems like best bet is to go to location.

iwindsurf78 01-19-2013 11:35 AM

I found some billet lowers for $150, will ship to FFL

Ross 01-19-2013 2:59 PM

I literally just ordered two today. I was told to expect 60-90 days. As they will be engraved with a Minuteman vice custom serial numbers, I'm okay with that. (My son is leaving for Army BC the end of Feb and one will be a gift for him, the other for me.)

HawkeEye 01-19-2013 9:14 PM

JD is notorious for not getting back to people. Even befor people started going buck wild buying up every ar in sight. And for a while their lowers were out of spec. I know cause I used to work there lol

SScottS 01-20-2013 1:58 PM

I ordered the Calguns JD lower from my LGS in early november. At the time they told me it would be 2-4 weeks. They purchased it from Rifle Gear. After 4 weeks I called and the LGS said they had no idea when it would show up. Ive been calling weekly ever since...no luck. So, after reading this thread I ordered another direct from JD. Anyone wanna place a bet on which one gets here first? Or if I ever get one at all....

Darklyte27 01-20-2013 2:33 PM

Id like to get one with the Eagle Globe and Anchor but I wont hold my breath, prob wont see anything for a while?

10TRD4x4 01-20-2013 6:12 PM

I ordered a .308 matched set from them on December 17 in the store. I picked up in the store on January 15. Tried calling several times but could never get thru. I just decided to go there and see if it was ready.

Rusty_Rebar 01-21-2013 12:00 AM

I ordered one from them a few days ago. Will keep this thread updated as to status. same as all the others, unable to contact via phone or email, I just assume they are swamped.

Carnivore 01-21-2013 3:47 AM

My FFL ordered 6 15 lowers and a .308 match set on the 12/27. Called last Thursday they said it would be 2 more weeks for the 15s and 3 for the .308.

tinbndr 01-21-2013 6:48 AM

I ordered a Bone Frog lower on 12/31 went in this last Wednesday and was told it would be ready mid February

What is that? The model says Trident, does it have a meaning or is it just a design?

discoed 01-21-2013 7:36 AM

Anyone know if they might be open today? Some locations are closed for the holiday. I did not want to make a long driver to just turn around. I tried calling but I can never get anyone on the phone.

jay_cue 01-21-2013 10:16 AM

I ordered my first one 12/30 and walked in 11 days after and walked out with my lower and near complete upper. decided on a second build for my girlfriend and ordered last week and was told ~12 weeks. said DOJ is backed up on DROS and didn't seem like it was all their fault for the back up. said DOJ had a lot of delays on DROS. was told they'll call me once DROS goes through and at time will be given a pick up date.

discoed 01-21-2013 2:51 PM

Well I didn't head down there. I placed my order on Dec 23 and haven't heard anything yet. I do have a confirmation number but that's about it.

zealot9802 01-21-2013 4:24 PM

Anyone know if you order online do you have the option to pick up in person?

I assume you would. I know while I was there some guy didnt put in the address of their FFL so they had him fill out some paperwork to change it. but didnt notice if it was changed to the FFL or for him to pick it up directly n

You need to be there in person to fill out and sign the paperwork. When the lower is near ready for completion they will run the DROS papers and then, 10 days later, you can pick up in person.

This is as described last week.

2 lowers OTD with custom laser engraving, fees, and taxes - just a tad over $300. Think about that next time you see some jackwagon here selling them for $500 (or trade for 2k rds of something). ;)

iwindsurf78 01-22-2013 4:05 AM

The billets for $150+shipping are from floridaarms.com. He's got 80% for $105 I think and 100% for $150. I've been emailing the guy and he is very responsive to my emails. Just have FFL email him the information and send a check, no CC. He said he is about 6 weeks out.
