I was down in SD this Friday...I dropped into the store to take a look. I was hoping to see shelves filled with JD uppers etc for walk in customers...but they only had display items, was going to pick up a few uppers if they had them...did peek inside their very very busy machine shop though...

I'm so over JD Machine! They just added 3 more weeks of waiting to my order placed in person on 1/16. I was told on the phone 2 weeks ago that my DROS should start 3/6 so I called today (3/7) to make sure everything was set and they said I'm at least 3 weeks out Has anyone gotten good news from JD lately?

I agree. Took about 8 weeks for me and DROS there for 19 bucks more. The finish was really nice with no tool marks or unwanted ridges. Very very nice lowers and glad I drove there. Fit on my uppers was tight too. So I've got two JD lowers with BCM uppers. Nice combination.

Anyone have a going price for JD lowers? Their site lists them for $380... Classifieds has them for $600 to $800 used for a stripped. I've been perking for a while but am now in the market for a 308 build..
What's an ok price for these lower and is there a group buy? Also do they price cut for CGN members or in person.. I know some sites price high to not cut their vendors short. Last I checked rifle gear doesn't even have them in their site anymore. |

Unless you already have an upper I'd recommend just getting the .308 matched upper/lower set. Saves you about $20 |

I know they are making some. I saw them at the anodize shop earlier this week.

[IMG][/IMG]I think they still going thru growing pains. One website has their old address. I visited it and was surprised how small the machine shop was. Did a U Turn and went back down the street, after going to their website. Found it and noticed front desk to take orders and lady sitting down taking order on the left went you entered the office. Wife and I did our thing and left and really it was just about 8 weeks. We went back and picked up. These are our's

Seems like online is way behind other orders...
I ordered online 1/4 and nothing so far. Kind of frustrating. |

How are they doing on quality these days?
I've got a JD lower from 2 years ago that I couldn't be happier with and a JD lower from 1 year ago that's an insult to paperweights and had a JD 308 build that was nothing but problems. Would love to keep doing business with them if they managed to get their QA under control. |

Contacted JD and arranged to have them picked up at a gun show and exchanged at the next gun show a month later. Went to the 2nd gun show to pick up lowers. Was given a new pair both in foam sleeves and was told they were both personally inspected and checked out. Got home to take a look at them. Both were still kinda crappy but the worst thing was one of them looked like this: The consistency between the total four I've had were also all over the place. Ie. One corner/edge of the lower would be machined looking one way, another one machined another way. The rear take-down detent hole was countersunk a lot one one lower, and barely on the other... |

I sent them a cancel request email like a week after I ordered but I never got a confirmation or my money credited back. I'm ok either way. I'll be happy with 3 stripped lowers or my money back. |

Ordered a case of Stag lowers last week and they were here on Wednesday. Glad I didn't order anything from JD.
Ordered some Stag uppers on 12/17, still haven't heard a word. This entire industry is just crazy right now.

Yeah I spoke with them today in person and they said they were shipping out orders from the 8th. What I think is going on is that they have different priorities for people who ordered online and people who ordered in person. I'm not sure which ones get the priority but I ordered in person.

Damn making me uneasy abou waiting this long... Reviews are hit or miss.... Don't mind waiting if its quality, but damn they have had my money since jan and I might not get it till end of April and it sounds like QC is shoddy... Sucks with lowers becoming plentiful and cheaper... But I feel like I am pot committed at this point. Might as well stick it out... How is their customer service in regards to returns/exchanges if a product isn't up to snuff? I don't mind paying more money if the product is as advertised... I hate paying a premium and not getting what you pay for... That's why you pay the premium.

I ordered my JD lower and upper in the beginning of January and have not heard a thing. I have emailed twice and called; no response or answer. My coworker ordered his upper two weeks after me and has already received his. Don't know what's going on but hope it's worth the wait.
