Default Addax/CGF Group Buy ( CLOSED - NO NEW ORDERS )

Updated on 1/4/12 from Addax's post 419 HERE.


Special thanks to CGF for permission to use their awesome logo.
Every lower purchased donates $10 to the Calguns Foundation.


EXPECTATIONS:
No whining/complaining.
All of the details for this buy are included in this message.
By placing an order, you are agreeing to all of the details in this message.


AGE RESTRICTION:
Buyers must be 21 years or older in order to purchase the stripped lower.
Members 18-20 wanting to participate can, but would need to purchase a full rifle with upper. Please contact for more details.


DEADLINES:
DEADLINES HAVE BEEN EXTENDED!
Provide the necessary information listed below under 'YOUR NEXT STEPS' via PM to Kaligaran: 11/03/12.
Payment must be received by Addax: 11/07/12


LIMITED QUANTITY:
Addax has the capacity to fulfill up to 300 lowers for this group buy. Lowers are sold on a first-come first serve basis.


WHAT YOU ARE PURCHASING IN THIS GROUP BUY:
  • Stripped AR15 lower receiver manufactured by Addax Tactical
  • Laser engraved slightly modified CalGuns Foundation logo (laser engraved onto the black anodizing so the logo stands out in sliver - see images below for actual lower design)

  • Mil-spec typeIII hard anodized finish



The engraving process:

Other Markings engraving template for CGF Group Buy Lower (these will be machined engraved, then Anodized over, so these markings will be in the black).
Updated image provided on 1/4/12 from Addax's post 419 HERE.



WHEN:
UPDATE: From Addax's post 419 HERE.
The lowers are ESTIMATED to be completed by the end of January February 2013. After completion the lowers, we will notify members that the lowers will either be shipped out to their FFL or if you are picking up at Addax Tactical, that you can start your DROS.
This is our best guess estimate based on current market and industry conditions. For example, we are estimating 3 weeks for the hard anodizing process, but if it takes our anodizing shop 5 weeks, then this just added two weeks to the original ETA.
You will be notified at the email that you provided when the lowers are ready for pickup or when they have been shipped. (see below for shipping/pickup details)

IMPORTANT: Please do not bombard Addax Tactical via email/phone to ask for individual order status information. As a custom group buy, this does take time to anodize and engrave (engraving must be done one at a time). We will be sure to keep everyone posted on the forum thread.


PRICE:
The price for each lower will be $105 (Plus Tax, DROS and Shipping if shipping lower(s) to your ffl), which includes the $10 donation that will be made directly to the Calguns Foundation upon completion of this group buy.


TAX:
The sales tax will be 8.75%. This tax rate will be applied to all orders.


DROS:
Every lower purchased must go through the DROS process. The CA state DROS fee of $25 will be collected in person at the FFL you select. Lowers must also go through the state's 10 day wait process.
If picking up at Addax, store policy is 5 firearms per DROS, so if purchasing 6+ lowers, then you will need two DROS forms.


PERSONALIZED ENGRAVING:
Personalized custom engraving on the lower receiver (other side of mag well where there is open space for custom / personalized logo’s) is available from Addax and will be discounted for participants of this group buy. Custom engraving is going to be done seperately than this group buy. You will need to follow the group buy ordering details in this post. Then in a few weeks you will need to discuss your request and details with the Addax engraving service for pricing.


PAYMENT:
Do NOT send payment till you have received your confirmation PM response with your total. Money order or cashier's check ONLY.
Cash accepted in person at Addax's retail location only.
Payment must be received IN FULL by Addax by the deadline date at the following address:
Addax Tactical
1431 Truman Street
Unit E
San Fernando, CA 91340


SHIPPING/PICKUP:
You may pick up your order when ready at Addax or you may ship to the FFL of your choice. FFLs offering discounts included in the FAQs of this thread.
The FFL must be a current 01 (Retail Dealer FFL License) or 07 FFL (Manufacturer / Dealer FFL License).


SHIPPING CHARGES:

Insurance will cover damage, theft, loss, during shipping. It will not cover damage, theft or loss after the lower receiver / package is signed for and received. If the receiving FFL dealer notices serious damage to the box from shipping, it is up to them to have the delivery person note this, and the dealer should inspect the items of the box with the driver present.
