Lead time on their site (same when I ordered) "Lead time is 3 weeks total for machine and Cerakote work, add 3 MORE weeks for Nitride." IE six weeks.

BUT it wasn't the timeline issue that was worth discussing. I was replying because the answers I was getting were bizarre (kinda like your statement about customers comments). It was fragmented statements that didn't make sense on their own.

"Hi I sent in an action 7 weeks ago, lead time was 6 weeks at the time, I am just curious about the current status" = "Lead time on nitride is 3-4weeks so it'll be a few weeks"
"I sent it in 7 weeks ago are you saying it just went into nitride?" = "Looks like the machinist picked it up early May"
(Keep in mind my response question was when did it go to nitride because the first answer I got was in regards to the lead time for nitride so that reply stating a date about a machinist doesn't clearly answer anything. Is this an outside machinist and if so what phase of the process are they involved in, the whole thing, just the nitride phase, etc. Was that a way of trying to say their internal machinist picked it off the shelf early May? See how its bizarre)

I wouldn't be scratching my head if they said "Looks like your action didn't get started on till early May and just went off to Nitride so it'll be 3-4weeks from now". That is a complete and clear answer, lol.

I agree that not getting answers is a PIA. Who did you talk to? I have nothing to do with UM's business outside of the Rokstok, but I know the Tikka UM action process well since I had the first one and can help ensure everyone is on the same page.

With bipod, suppressor and a loaded mag it’s exactly 10 lbs 1oz. Without the bipod it’s 9lbs 5oz

Which bipod do you have on that setup?

Also received medium UM Tikka rings. Height is perfect.

what did you ask for color pattern? looks great

 

[grizz19]

Are they calling to confirm color on all orders before they stick them in the oven? On my build they just put the generic sponge but no specifying on colors. Just curious if I need to let them know my color choices or if they will contact me before they start.

 

[03mossy]

Mine turned out a bit differently than I requested so they sent me pics and asked what I thought before they shipped it. I really liked it so told them ship it. They did offer to redo it but I’m glad I accepted it because I think it looks great!

The gunwerks bipod.

12/21 order with no changes and two color tear pattern. Factory inlet has plenty of room for total free float in the center of the channel.
@grizz19 I did get a call to confirm colors.
Grip texturing is great but no rounds through it yet. Atlasworx bottom metal went in perfectly
Low rings on a 20 moa rail seems perfect for me.

Wyogoat-that paint job is fricken sweet!!

what's the deal with le green rokstocks then?

An update would be nice

 

[TX_Diver]

An update would be nice

I wouldn’t turn down an update either.

I think part of the reason the silence on LE green stocks is odd is because they did such a good job updating us with what was going on through the process of earlier.

At this point not having heard anything and seeing all the LE green questions skipped while others get answered makes me wonder if there was an issue with those or something.

I ordered one as I thought it was cool but if they’re coming later or something I’d gladly take something else sooner as I’m moving soon and only have a few weeks left of being able to shoot at the house

I may have also ordered LE green as In my heart I also hoped they’d ship first

Can’t recall a name to be honest, whomever the dial menu took me to for “machining”.

Since you know it well, is the machining in-house or out of house? I don’t care either way I just didn’t know what to make of the reference to the machinist picking it up part.

BAM. That is what I’d expect after seeing the render version. Looks solid.

Ha I’ve had similar thoughts/wonderings.

I may have read too far into the ‘first come first serve’ messaging and 100% thought that LE greens would be out in the wild first, thinking a wave of Rokslide green weave camo would be some good ‘in person’ guerilla marketing, as it grabs your attention more, but so does these awesome UM cerakote jobs I spose. But I also bet there aren’t stacks of green carbon weave material just laying around either.

I overheard when on the phone with UM the first batch of LE greens was getting molded by Stocky’s the week before last (I think), but it wasn’t a really firm comment, more of a “I think she started them today” answer in the background when my inquiry was passed on, I believe in reference to Jess’s efforts at Stockys.
I’m connecting a lot of dots there though and this info is prob akin to a bad rumor in a small town. Update would be cool!

If I was running the show I would want to get enough stocks to be painted in front of my team so they could stay busy before I started recieving bare carbon stocks to ship out.

what's the deal with le green rokstocks then?

I talked to Blaine at UM on Mon. about a gun they are building for me (ordered mid feb). The gun will be done by the end of the month. He said my LE Rokstok would be done soon (ordered Dec 21). He offered to go to another part of the building and ask for sure. I told him "soon" was good enough. Seems like he said they are still getting 30 stocks per week.
