As was forecasted in our previous NEWS post, we should have had the remanufactured parts in our hand by January 11, 2023, and would have if not for the fact that all U.S. domestic flights were grounded due to a complete failure of a key FAA safety system.
Once the delayed delivery of the parts was received, we built three side lever assemblies and confirmed that the reworked parts were within the specification and we could start filling our build orders.
As was explained in previous updates, we will be rolling the side lever systems out in phases. There will be three (3) Phases each Phase will consist of a Build Stage (A) and a Kit Offering stage (B). These Phases and associated Stages will be announced right here in the NEWS Blog for reference and information.
Phasing
Phase 1A – We’re going to attack all Gauntlet .30 caliber builds first. This means we have and will continue to fill all the G30 orders we received when we first announced the availability of the side lever system. There were 21 of you that stuck it out and by the time you are reading this, most will have your G30 build with the side lever installed and on its way to you. Thank you for your patience and support as we worked through this manufacturing delay.
Phase 1B – Once we have all build requests complete, we will make the .30 Caliber Side Lever System available as a do-it-yourself installation kit.
Phase 2A – We will be offering Gauntlet 2 .22/.25 build packages that include the side lever system.
Phase 2B – Once we have our Gauntlet 2 .22/.25 builds underway and manageable, we will roll out the do-it-yourself installation kit.
Phase 3A – Shortly after the DYI kits for the G2’s are released we will start accepting build packages for the Gauntlet 1.
Phase 3B – Once we have our Gauntlet 1 .22/.25 builds underway and manageable, we will roll out the do-it-yourself installation kit.
Video Production
We will be producing video instructions for the do-it-yourself kits which will show up on the product page so you have a very detailed and clear step-by-step installation guide to follow.
