re: Official AR-15 thread

That's funny shite right there. I especially like the fact it has Dr. Evil's endorsement.

I have found several retailers who are taking backorders for receivers, at an uninflated price, with a fairly firm ETA. I have orders in with 3, and at $150 or so, I went ahead and ordered several with each.

I'm sure I'm not the only one doing this. What are the chances the bottleneck ultimately ends up being all the parts EXCEPT receivers? BCM's were spotty before this. Completed rifles are backordered out until late-Summer at least. Parts supplies are biased strongly to whole-rifle builders which leads you to believe individual parts are going to be tighter than shite until at least Fall.

Supplies of barrels, uppers and BCM's may never catch up.
