12-2-24 UPDATE: We got a little swamped from orders due to election season + thanksgiving week. Bare with us, optic cut with no coating/bluing is roughly the same lead time. Full slide cuts/builds taking slightly longer.
Below you will find our lead times. THESE ARE ESTIMATES, SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
– Optic cut with no coating/bluing is roughly 1-2 weeks depending on the type of firearm being sent.
-Optic cut/slide cut/porting w/ single color Cerakote 1-3 weeks. Full slide cuts on CZ may take a little longer due to the complexity of cutting them.
- Camo Cerakote or complext Cerakote jobs adds 2-4 weeks to the lead time.
– PVD/DLC coating adds 2-4+ weeks to the lead time, AFTER WE ARE DONE WITH MACHINING YOUR PART. The bronze/rosegold color takes the longest since that is the least color that gets ran, so the facility has to build up the batch in order for it to be coated. We sometimes have to reject the parts if it does not meet our standards, so that means it has to get re-coated! Anyone that owns a business in this industry will agree on this, it is out of our hands since it gets sent off. You as the end consumer have not dealt with DLC/PVD the amount we do. Just because in the past you have sent it off and it got done quick, does not mean anything. We deal with many DLC/PVD vendors. If you are not willing to wait, do not choose DLC/PVD. Sometimes it could be done fast, sometimes it doesn’t. Again, every custom shop like us, sends their DLC/PVD off, no one does that in house.
-Long gun Cerakote jobs take 3-4+ weeks.
-Stippling jobs 2-3+ weeks.
Please do not constantly contact us for an update if the lead time has not been reached. For example, if we tell you it is going to take 2-3 weeks, please do not contact us in a week asking for an update.
