Just waiting for my gun to arive. It's the one going to Bubbas Outdoors in Northport,AL.
It would be great to be able to log in to a page that tells the status of the build for my gun, and the ETA. |

Guys....I wish it was as easy as going into the Deli and taking a number to get your sandwich! For a plain vanila Serbu....no accessories, no engraving, no bipod.....you probably have the shortest wait since it is fairly straight forward. Go for stainless steel, custom contour, need a bipod etc...and you might be a bit slower. Some parts obviously are in common, so a run of bolts effects all variants (except the semi). When Mark gets short on bolts, then everything is impacted. And, if there is a bipod glitch, that could slow things. In the past, he has shipped the rifle and chased it later with the accessories (kind of like beer followed by whisky). Mark has markedly increased the quality of his "front office", so do give a call and you'll notice a very professional lady answering the phone. Won't be long before I think Mark will have a better grasp on flow-control. His products have gotten quite popular, and he is experiencing growing pains.
No matter the duration of the wait.....IT IS WORTH IT!! I've got another Carbine and Semi under construction, and have shot a number of full size, Carbine and bull barrel variants......I'm looking forward to the UPS guy pulling up with precision paper punching, lead launching machines!

Hmmmm....this is one case where the timeline has nothing to do with us. I think your gun has been ready (and sent to other people) about 3 times now. We're still waiting for payment (there was no bipod ordered...is that correct?), but if we'd received it back when the gun was ordered your wait would have been 4 weeks, judging by when the other guns ordered at the same time went out. I hope there's no problem with Bubba's...

| mine took 3 weeks from the time I ordered it. It took me over 2 years to get the cash together. Very well worth every penny and very sorry I took so long to get it. |

Mine took over 3mo to receive... but it's the 15th one of the first lot of 25 ever made!
As I recall, this first batch sold out in under 3 minutes when Mark announced their sale.
Absolutely worth the wait! |
