A friend of mine likes my XCR so much that he wants one of his own. I told him he could buy it direct from RobArm, but I don't know what the current lead time is for a standard XCR-L 5.56.
If he places an order, how long before it ships?

You can get it from a dealer, probably shipped tomorrow. From what I've seen, you can also get fair prices by going through someone like Kermit Zahm at Wild Thangs Farms. You can contact him here: frgprnz@outdrs.netHTH, Sean |

I suggested the direct option only because I thought he could save a few bucks. (If he had bought when I did, he could have saved a few hundred bucks.) |

I ordered a standard 5.56 light barrel XCR just after Thanksgiving and was told it would be here before Christmas. I followed up a few times after the new year and Cate told me on Jan 15 that she would let me know when it is shipping. Haven't heard anything since then.
Hope that gives you some help on calculating the current lead time.

Got mine in 3 weeks from date of order. Thats unheard of per my shootin buddies. They were quoting me up to 10 months with most of the lead AR platform productions. I dont know if that was realistic though.

A lot of any lead time will be based on any specific option you may have requested too. Things that are out of their control or contracted work like chroming can really gum up the pre-planning.

I don't know what options you ordered but *most likely* if you want one in your hands by the end of this week (depending on your location) without paying any more than you would have by buying direct from Rob Arms......contact Kermit Zahm at the email a few posts up. If you need his cell to get things rolling faster....contact me and I'll try and dig it up. He will give you a great price and generally has the basic 5.56 light bbl'd XCRs with the folders (or even some AR style stocks) in stock. Something appears to be very wrong with the ordering system for individuals at RA. No offense intended, but there are far too many threads like this floating around for individual purchases. Sean |

I don't know what options you ordered Yeah, nothing fancy. Standard 5.56 Light barrel, M4 folding adapter (no stock), 7.62x39 conversion kit, a couple spare parts. I've already paid, so can't call Mr. Zahm. Thanks. |

Gotcha.....When I placed my order and they missed the deadline by more than two weeks and couldn't give me a date as to when, I canceled (after finding a dealer that had what I wanted in stock). I wasn't out any money or any 3% CC fee.....so I see where you're coming from. Good luck with it. Sean |

I have the same question as PDBreske. For an Standard Rifle ordered through Robinson, what is the average order lead time?
(My order was for a Standard XCR, light barrel, folding tube stock, 5.56, no other options)
Thanks
