Heck, top 3 rifles in the pic are condition yellow: hammer dropped, safety off (of course), full mag. If the hammer is down, then I am confident that the chamber is empty The bottom rifle has an empty mag. All are securly stored and ALL weapons are considered locked and loaded all the time. I like consistency.

I keep everything set up the same way, which for me makes verification of the status of the weapon easy. If the safety is on, then something is up and further safety verification (more caution handling than normal) is necessary. Did I say that I like consistency?
 
Should I wait?

I recently emailed Del-Ton about wait times for their AR CAR kits, no lower. I asked them if there was still a long wait for just kits since the Obama scare is over and even though they are catching up on backorders, they still said 12-16 weeks. Their customer service seems top notch, considering they've answered all my email inquiries withing 12 hours, which really impressed me! I've heard they have quality kits and have great support, so my question is should I order and wait the 4 months for the kit or do you guys know an equal quality/budget ratio company that is in stock and can ship faster? Looking for a 16" A3 flattop upper with LPK and collapsible stock kit. I really want to go with Del-Ton but I don't know if I can wait that long.
 
Well I don't need anything fancy, and I'm not a brand whore. Their 16" kits run $507 with ship, and I'm just building a budget carbine for fun. I looked at Model1Sales and theirs is about $570 shipped, I think thier barrels and uppers are good but my last LPK I got from them, the bolt release snapped in half! And their customer service was dismal, when I told them about it, they said they'd send a new one (after 2 emails and a phone call) and they never did. I just ran to the gun shop and got a new one. So I guess my price would be $450 - $550 shipped complete upper. Nothing fancy more of a fun gun, just A3 16"
 
I have built with Del-ton kits.

The parts appear to be good qaulity, and they build trouble free weapons.

I just wish they offered a lightweight midlength kit. My middy HB is heavy!

My buddy who ordered his in April received it this past Monday, as a point of reference. My wait time was about 6 months as well.
 
Well I got the email today actually and the sales team acknowledge the fact of long waits and he was reconfirming the long wait, which I hoped they had caught up by know, but Floppy D do you think the wait is worth it? or just find another company?
 
So knowbody knows of a comparible price range on a 16" AR15 kit comparable in quality/price ratio of Del-Ton? I've looked at Model1Sales and BravoCompany, but for Bravo's price I could get a complete S&W MP15. I just don't know if a 4 month wait is justified, or is it?
