I ordered 5 days ago and still hasn't shipped. Can you believe these guys?!
I was getting a little P-O'd but in my defense…. I'm a selfish SOB. Then it dawned on me, obviously they are busy, everyone is right now. But beyond that even is the fact that Aero and every manufacturer in Washington and Oregon are being issued an order of cease and desist operations. They'll have 90 days to liquidate inventory and then retool, adapt, or pack out. If I wasn't such an inpatient motherstuffer, I'd at least try to conjure up some compassion. But I'm not. Where's my freaking part?!
Seriously…can't imagine the angst they're feeling. The anti-gunners have no idea what problems this invites and division it creates.
I've heard old timers and cowboys say 'good riddings' to AR's then ride off into the sunset on their new quads. Personally, I've never been a huge fan of the AR and yet here I am scrambling to put one together at the last minute. I'm afraid the time is nigh for getting the ubiquitous small caliber rifle. Parts are prolific and excepting alternative calibers and piston jobs, completely interchangeable. It's ugly, it's dirty, and know matter how much you spend on custom parts, it will never stir the soul like a good lever/bolt/pump action does. BUT… there's no alternative that meets the requirements of one rifle/one caliber/one nation. There are I arguably better ones but they're too few, too expensive, too hard to source parts, and ammunition. I know it's all been said before but it bears repeating. I never thought I'd be feeling this way but it's time to say it. These little black rifles matter more than ever. There will likely never be another like it in any foreseeable future. The range of calibers is staggering to me. Less than 50 years ago my entire family owned a revolver, shotgun, or rifle. I was damn certain the only ammunition in existence was 22LR, 30~06, 30-30, and 12ga birdshot. I'd heard of the exotic like .38, .270, 20ga, and 410 but just rumors and movies. And here we are in this crazy mess of a world that I thank The Lord Almighty, my grandparents did not bear witness to.
