They were just at my local gun show. I asked them what their lead times were on lowers and they said 8 weeks. I almost ordered but didn't bother. If the guys were being kinda dicky I probably would have.

It's been a long wait.... Just picked up both lowers I got. One was a Mega ordered in early Feb and the other was a JDMTI ordered in December. The JD has a slightly better finish than the Mega, but both look great. I assembled the lower without an issue. It looks great!

They were starting to produce substandard lowers before the panic. I can only imagine their piss poor quality now. |

I ordered in Jan and I will prob get it at the end of the month. I'll post up if the finish is sub par. Either way, I don't have a doubt that JD Machine will make things right if I have an issue.
I ordered online and drove down to SD to fill out the paperwork. The place was crazy busy and they had a stack of papers that were all orders. For the rest of you that are crying about the wait, please cancel your orders if the lead time is too long, I can respect that. Plus it moves my pickup date closer It sounds like they will give a full refund, even though it might take a couple weeks. If you don't have to have a lower from JD Machine, shop around and see it you can find another before your order is filled. If you do and you don't want 2 lowers, cancel your order with JD Machine. Lowers are not that difficult to find anymore. |

When I went by there last week, it was like crazy busy. No matter the leadtime, orders just keep coming in. The lady answering the phones looked completely overwhelmed.
If anyone does need lowers, I can help. (not trying to threadjack).

I just purchased two matching .308 upper and lowers from there last Friday. They told me 4-5 month wait, no problem with me. At the same time a guy was picking up his .308 set at that time, just got the call that day after a 4 month wait. Just going to take some time.

I just put my lower in jail with an FFL who ordered 12 back in mid December. He received 6 from FedEx last Friday... and is still waiting on the other 6.

My FFl told me that when he talked to JD last, they were being held up on supply of 80% lowers. As they come in from the supplier, they fill orders the best they can.

I think they all (or at least most of them) do. There aren't too many suppliers of stripped lowers that forge/ machine their own 80%. They get the block, do final machining, engraving, add a serial number, & anodize them. Then either use them to build their own line of complete rifles, complete lowers, or sell as a stripped lower to those who don't want to mess with jigs & drill presses.

I suspect it was in-person since I ordered on-line prior to that date and haven't heard squat. |

[QUOTE=SteveMartin;11066084]Did they state whether that 1/10 date was for online or in-person orders?

Talked to someone at JD today about my lower order from 2nd week in December, and was told they were still 2-3 weeks out! I asked if I could check my order number to see where I am in the list, and was told that order number and date didn't really matter... Huh??? How can you tell someone you are shipping orders from December, then tell them it's 2-3 weeks out, and then say order number doesn't matter????
This is just getting old... |
