[Joq867]

Facebook page says he is still awaiting parts, no ETA as of yet.

He posted today that he got the aluminum in and getting ready to start production.

Pretty interesting.

And another month on, has anyone received their orders?

Note: The FB link Atalon posted is now defunct.

I think someone is just jealous because I can't find any other company that sells these regularly on a website for less than $120. Even completed blemished lowers are not this cheap for some time now if ever.
...still no links

DOA Arms sells Spikes lowers for as low as $85. Spikes Stripped Jolly Roger Palmetto has sales all the time.

Out of stock and not an 80%

Exactly. I answered your invalid observation:

"​

$120. Even completed blemished lowers are not this cheap for some time now if ever."

They may be out of stock today. But I bought 4 lowers less than a month ago from DOA at less than $100 each, delivered.

the have finally come down so replying to a statement that was valid at the time is worthless and trollish

and still apple's and oranges

I ordered the 4 pack also. Still have not received my order. Went into it thinking i blow more then $100 on all kinds of stupid stuff every week. If i get them then I'll have a really good deal. If i don't then i learned a lesson on start up companies.

10/22/13: Update;

Production is almost to the point of shipping. It took a bit longer than expected to get the product to where I wanted it. I will make sure everything is perfect before it goes out. It takes a lot of trips back to the machine after testing the lower to make it just right.

I am sure by Friday we can start shipping them out. Once we get an average daily number I can better tell everyone when they should expect them.

I am getting several dozens of calls/emails every day asking where they stand in line. I am concentrating my efforts on production and will try to handle all the calls and emails as soon as I can get to them.

Several hundred of you have already taken advantage of the Cerakote upgrade. It’s a great deal @$40. It’s still available on our website.

After the requests of Anodizing I have sourced Hard Anodize Mil-8625 Type III add on for only $20.

You can go to www.sierranevadaarms.com to order the anodizing. The time it takes to have them Cerakote/Anodized will not delay your order.

I am also working on some drill bits for the jig kits. They are high speed steel and are the quality needed to finish your lower right.
Thank you all for your patience and I look forward to seeing photos of the finished product soon.

I'm still waiting on my lowers....

 

[gunworks321]

Yea, me too. I e-mailed them last week and they said they were shipping 700 per week and slowly getting caught up. We shall see.

 

[Jeremy1066]

Has anyone received their 8 month old, pre-paid order yet?

Not a chance. I'm #85 in line and haven't seen a thing. No lowers, no shipping notice.

I'm fact, when I mentioned this on his page he deleted and blocked me.

I just called and actually spoke to someone, but forgot to ask his name. He said they are still working on the rocket hub orders and hope to get caught up in the next 4 months. Pereonally, I will believe it when I see them.

He keeps saying that, but if you question his timeline, he bans and blocks you from his facebook page.

He needs to be arrested.

I'm #85 on the list of THOUSANDS of people. I've seen NOTHING. Nothing.

Agreed. I'd love to see someone put a class action lawsuit together.

I have all but given up and at this point I am counting it as a lost investment.

These guys on Facebook that keep posting about being patient and how good a job Sierra is doing and "hater's gonna hate", blah, blah are disillusioned in my opinion. It's been over a year since the fund CLOSED and you hear of a few people that got some lowers.

What cracks me up is he is selling drill bit sets, Cerakote, etc and these folks keep sending him money! I wouldn't send him another dime at this point.

Then the owner said the other day he is shipping out lowers where funders opted to have them finished to 100%. He gave some story about set-ups and time and that's why he did it. I understand machine set-ups just fine but that shouldn't override the fact that he should focus on taking care of the people who put him in business first, then add other services. If someone wants to add Cerakote or have them finished 100%, then move them to the bottom of the list. We funded for a 80% raw lower.

If I ever do get my lowers, I am just going to sell them at this point. I have moved on and am building an AR with a lower I bought already.

I don't know if we have any legal recourse but I would sign a class action if one was created.

You may be able to tell I am not happy with these guys, lol.

I have voiced this to RocketHub. All they said was they don't guarantee the investments. Lesson learned. I won't crowd fund anymore. I'd rather do what my wife does and make Kiva loans.
