[cliffy109]

I hate you. I really do. I don't need a type 2. I really don't. But I want one.

I was number 3 to order and number 1 to pay.

God I hate you.

Oh thanks Jen. Love you, but hate you. You know what I mean.

[Blag]

Thanks, DSA!

Thanks, Melissa! :love:

And as always, Thanks, Jen! :love:

[dabullfrog]

How long is the group buy open? When do we need to order and pay by?

Dabullfrog.

[R4 fan]

Ditto on what Dabullfrog said. :rofl:

Is there also a limit as to how many of each receiver type is available?

This group buy should be a scheduled event taking place every 6 months to a year. :D It seems like every time it comes up, I'm broke. :(

[danimal]

Not meaning to whine...but why not a Type III w/carry handle cut?

[shootist87122]

ReeeeeeeeHawwwww!

Thanks DSA.
Thanks Jen.

[etp777]

I hate you Jen. Like paying the bills isn't hard enough without temptations like this.

I hate you

[Jen]

There is currently no end date scheduled. When there is one it will be announced here.

There is no limit or max number of any specific type of receiver. The only restriction is that each user can only purchase a total of 3 receivers (of any type or combination of types).

[R4 fan]

Good. I'm glad their is no receiver type limit, as last time all the type 2's sold out quick. Now hopefully the end date will be a month or so away, to give some of us time to save some money. :D

[masman]

how long has dsa been making typeIII receivers and whats the regular price?

[DesertFALrat]

So VERY VERY HAPPY!!!!!

Order sent!:biggrin:


Thanks a million, Jen!

[Antares]

Melissa,

Will you marry me? :love: :love:

Thank you DSA and Jen.

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you etc...!!!!!!!!!

[T Hammer]

Arrrrgh!

I just received 4 lovely receivers. Now, to what measure of poverty am I willing to descend?

And to think (having read much and posted little) I did not believe FALoholism was a legitimate, communicable, and probably incurable addiction.

You guys (and a few exceptional women) crack me up.

Which way to the poorhouse?

T Hammer

[Bearwhositshere]

Wow, I mean WOW! I just placed my order with Melissa and she said the receivers would ship Monday! Holy Cow, that's great service! Man I love DSA, Melissa, and Jen! I feel like Dancing! Where are my disco shoes:biggrin: Hugs and kisses girls. Thanks a bunch!

[CactusCapt]

Finally!!! Now...lets start thinking...INCH!!! INCH!!! INCH!!!

[jwaters]

Lets keep this rolling past the 15th, so I can order another after payday!

[Jen]

Receivers ARE shipping! It looks like the folks at DSA are trying to get out as many orders as they can before Knob Creek. If you get your FFL and Payment in asap it looks like there's a good chance of your receiver(s) shipping immediately.

The following order numbers either have shipped or are in the process of being shipped out:

10016
10017
10020
10022
10038

[cliffy109]

10017 SHIPPED? Hot Damn! Uh, I mean, good, I think. Now I gotta figure out what to build with a type 2. Hmmm...

[mark214]

Melissa told me mine would ship as soon as the MO arrived which will
be tomorrow, Monday will be the next business day.
Great service!

Thanks

You are in the right place :shades:

[AF FAL]

WOW!

I work at a dealer in my off duty time, I know the type III is a good bit below dealer cost from DSA, so this is a great chance to get one cheap. It looks like the others may be a bit cheaper too, I'll have to go look at the books again tomorrow.

[shootist87122]

Mine and Tactical Tim's arrived at the FFL today. Guess what I'm doing Sat (if I can wait that long). :)

[fry]

said mine will ship when Kanob creek is done... yippie... whos gota private party stg58 matching premo kit fer sale?

[cliffy109]

Mine has been sitting at my dealer for 5 days now and I still don't know when I'll have a chance to drive down and pick it up.

What the hell am I going to do with a type 2? I think I've got to start shopping for an Izzy kit!

[*Templar*]

Cliffy, the receiver looks GREAT

The group by pricing is below my dealer cost but a good bit.

I would highly advise taking advantage of this ASAP.

Cliffy, I'll be at the shop Tues. thru Saturday next week, but off this Sat. and Monday, so stop on by when you can.

OT, but I just picked up a book on the South African Para Batallions during the Angola campaign.

[shootist87122]

Got StG?

One of mine will end up on a 50.00 type build. Perhaps with one of the new US/FN made barrels.

[McDobber]

Ordered my items today. Happy Birthday to me!

[McDobber]

I talked to DSA this morning. They told me the Type II receivers are on back order and will ship "in a week or two." No big deal, I still have other compliant parts to purchase for my Stg build.

McDobber

[arbob]

Mine should be in my hot little hands by Friday!:)

[Jen]

Type III Non-Carry Handle Cut Receivers are OUT!

If you want a Type III it will be the carry handle cut version from this point on.

The following order numbers, who ordered Type III Non-Carry Handle Cut receivers will be getting Non-Carry Handle Cut receivers. All others either have not yet contacted DSA to make arrangements for payment or just recently placed your orders. If you want to change your order due to this change in Type III availability, please PM me with your order number and what you want changed.

Type III Non-Carry Handle Cut Orders:
10019
10038
10059
10071
10076
10082
10084

[Silver Fox]

Jen,

Will there be anymore Type III Non-carry handle cut receivers? :(

SF-

[P806]

I haven't built on a DSA before. Looking foward to getting mine in.
:fal:

[cliffy109]

I finally picked mine up yesterday. Holy crap! That thing is nice! I sat down last night and compared it to the Coonan and Imbels I have and the workman ship is beyond compare. The Coonan is a close second, but the finish is a lot better on the DSA. The Imbel looks like crap when you put it next to the DSA.

I asked Melissa this same question and she said that there will be no more "non carry handle cut" Type 3 receivers.

I settled for a carry handle version. Wish I had been a little quicker on the trigger.

[McDobber]

When I last spoke to DSA, they said the Type IIs were on back order. Melissa, do you have an update for us? Thanks in advance.

McDobber

[xsquid]

I was informed by DSA late last week that the back ordered TypeIIs should be shipping this coming week.

[McDobber]

Thanks for the info xsquid
McD

[hawkin]

I'm new to FAL's... Do you have to use a carry handle if it is cut for it?? Will it look funny (machined out hole in receiver?)? ..

thanks,
hawkin

[nczervik]

hawkin,no you don't.DSA sells a washer that will fill in the space,or if you
want,leave it open.I prefer some of mine w/carry handles,and some without.
Although I put the washer in mine w/o.Hope That Helps.

[xsquid]

Hey McD - just got word from Melissa that Type IIs should be shipping today. Woohoo!

[McDobber]

YEEEEEHAAAAWWWWW!!!!!!

That is very good news.

McD:beer:

[dabullfrog]

Is there an end date yet for the Group Buy. I'd like another type II but am sorely strapped for cash at the moment.

How much time have I got to round up old debts, sell my organs and otherwise prostiutute myself so I can buy it.

Dabullfrog

[Travis-Bickle]

I think I heard that is running until Dec 1 2003. It' might be a little longer don't qoute me on this.


TB

[mark214]

My type II arrived today, wow what a nice piece of machining.

It does hand time earlier than 2 Imbel's I just received from FAC
at about 10:00.

Thanks to Jen and DSA for the group buy.:)

[SmokeEater2]

DSA, any updates on which type 2's have or are going to be shipped?
My Izzy kit is so lonely....:sad:

[Z28-427]

Got mine today. I am going to build it with all brand new parts. It"s a type 2. One new barrel times at 9:30 and the other new barrel times at 10:30. That"s the one I"ll use.

[danimal]

Can we get an update on approx. ship dates?

[McDobber]

The most recent message I received was that my receivers shipped 2 days ago. XMAS comes early.

McD

[jrayborn]

Got my type 2 on friday, twisted it up into a refinished G-1 kit I got from DSA last year and put about 200 rounds thru it today and all I can say is THANKS DSA!!!!!!

[arbob]

Finally picked up my type lll non carry handle receiver today. It looks great. Now to get the compliance parts and Para kit. AHHH, it`s only money!!:fal:

[Court in Fl]

As of yesterday I have received all of my receivers and all of the receivers ordered by my customers.

Thank you DSA for this great deal.

Court in Fl.

[Slo cat]

Picked up my DSA Type II receiver from my FFL today. Looks great! It is a lot better than the Imbel Type III I once had. The Imbel had tool marks on all its exterior surfaces. The DSA has been surface finished and is much better looking, not to mention the quality interior dimentions.

The receiver shipped 11-12 and was received by my FFL 11-17-03. I can't wait until my group buy StG-58 kit arrives from bigant. I have all my compliance parts, but one, plus an A.R.M.S. #3 scope mount. I plan to get an Entrèprise muzzle brake as my final compliance part.

I want to blast and park the rifle. I just got an air brush kit and plan to DuraCoat the gun in satin black. I haven't decided on a barrel length, or what kind of scope to mount. I don't have a barrel wrench and I am undecided as to using a 27 mm end wrench or constructing a barrel holding devise of wooden blocks and leather inserts plus rosin.

Maybe I should try to organize a group build in the Denver area, and this will be my first build.

[McDobber]

I just picked up my receivers. All I can say is WOW! They look great. I will do a full review and details about my build at a later date.

Thanks DSA

McD

[Icarus]

WHEN IS THE GROUP BUY ENDING? THANKS!:)

[Ken]

I successfully placed an order earlier this week.

[Icarus]

Thanks Ken.

Does anyone have an exact date?:|

IIRC, I saw where it will end on Dec 31. I do not know if that was "official" or not, but I'm pretty sure it is.

[Jambo]

Is this group buy still happening?

[BamaFal]

I made my order through the fal files on the 6th of December. Talked with Melissa on the 7th. My order hit my ffl on the 14th. Very smooth transaction!

[varoadking]

Ordered mine this morning and got a confirmation number...

[GW870]

Whew!!! Got my order in and confirmation from DSA. I was afraid I had
waited around too long again, per usual. Now if I can just get home in
time to call Melissa on Monday.......

Thanks, Jen. I hope you'll have a good holiday.

GW

[varoadking]

Yup - I made it in time too - mine ships tomorrow.

This is a killer deal - thanks DSA...

[iolaus]

Ordered last night, paid this morning. Yes it's still going so far. I assume as long as the order form link still works, the buy is still on.

[jimmybcool]

I ordered Dec 20.

Cmon. Cmon. Cmon. Cmon. Cmon. Cmon. Cmon. Cmon. Cmon. Cmon. Cmon.



:)

[rickffp]

Picked up my type two today. All I can say is outstanding! I will order another this week. Thanks DSA.

[familyman357]

FWIW, if anyone is curious, the DSA sale is still going on. I just ordered one and spoke with Melissa today.

[ckmorley]

Ordered my Type 3 laast week, and it's in my FFL's hands as of a half hour ago !!!!

Can't wait for FWRA's HB kits.


I think I'll ask DSA to do the barrel install, headspace, locking shoulder treatment for $145.00, and building the remainder myself.

CKMorley

[cliffy109]

Hey DSA!!!

What's the chances of getting a custom serial number from you guys? I just got an all matching number STG kit that is begging for a matching upper.

[P 51 Jockey]

how about re-newing the 3 receiver limit?

[Jen]

UPDATE: The Type III Receivers are now sold out until probably summer. You can order one, however be prepared for a wait.

[cliffy109]

I posted this question before and also sent an e-mail to DSA but have not heard an answer to either. What would it take to get a custom serial number receiver? I'm trying to match an STG kit that I have.

[fry]

My dsa reciever number was XXX0X and my stg kit was XXX1X... what i mean is the numbers were only ten apart... with the one digit i listed... the X's that represent both numbers are identical.

[sauerquint]

I am pleased that the buy is still going on. If I order a Type III now do I pay for it now and it ships this summer?

[DesertFALrat]

!!! THATS A PERFECT IDEA !!!

I'm with you Cliffy, I would LOVE to have a matching SN on my upper for this
STG build. All the other numbers match, it would be a shame to have an upper that didn't if it was possible in any way to match the SN.

The first receiver I bought in this group buy was in the 24K range, my STG kit is a 97K number, so maybe it isn't impossible?

I know I'm buying another DSA, cause they are just to darn good.

Before I send in my order, I would like an answer to that as well.
A simple YES or NO would suffice.

Thanks,


dfr

[cliffy109]

Sadly, the answer is no. I finally got an e-mail from DSA explaining that they are just not equipped to handle the tracking of custom serial numbers.

I'm going to hold off my STG build for a while to see if anybody else comes out with this. Maybe if there is enough demand, DSA may change their opinion. Until then, I still have two DSA receivers I can build other kits on.

[AF FAL]

I remember reading somewhere once that Entreprise does custom serial numbers. I am not sure how good their receivers are, I have heard/read alot of mixed reviews, but maybe it is a solution to your problem of matching serial numbers.

[jrayborn]

Fry

I have 2 receivers, a type 2 and type 1 I think, that are numerically in order. Pretty cool, one for each of my boy's!!:D

Jon

[J-Man]

Hmm...
Just discovered this forum, logged on, and would like to get in on this deal. BUT, it won't let me access the order form. Says I need to log in when I click the link, however I obviously am (since I'm posting here).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
JB

[familyman357]

Hmm. I just tried it and it worked for me.
You might want to try again.
If it still doesn't work for you...

You have cookies enabled, right?
If you're not sure, select the "user cp" button at the top of this page, select "Options", and look at what's checked in "Browse board with cookies?" (you want the "yes" button checked).

[darkest2000]

Just ordered mine, still awaiting reply from DSA Inc for the confirmation of the final price.

So the link still works as of 2-17-04

[fry]

Pretty cool,


VERY KEWL!

[J-Man]

Thanks guys, got it working now (and two receivers on the way)!
BTW, I have over 4000 rounds out of my Medium Contour Tactical now (mostly Aussie and Port) without a hitch. Gonna need a new barrel I think by the end of this year (should have 8000+ rounds through and I get the barrel HOT).

[darkest2000]

glad to hear that the group buy form is working for you now, DSA rulez!

[uivandal]

Picked up my Type III from my FFL guy yesterday. Must have gotten one of the last ones! What a beauty!

[SHARPSHOOTER]

I placed my order yesterday. I gotta call monday. To confirm

Order Confirmation #10210

:fal:

[DesertFALrat]

Even though I cant get a custom number a gotta have another DSA!

Ordered 2/22.


Great Deal!

[discountupgrades]

WooHoo!
Ordered my Type II on Tuesday! No way I would have gotten one without the group buy!
First build coming up...

[discountupgrades]

Hey, Where did you guys get kits with matching numbers? I am looking for a kit in such shape...

[pavil58ff]

I don't know if they are still offered, but my Imbel kit with matching serial numbers came from Sportsmansguide. The kit by the way was in OK shape with the exception of the left handguard which had the threaded ferrule tack-welded in-place. p58

[cliffy109]

Originally posted by discountupgrades

From Bigant's group buy... which came from DSA!

[darkest2000]

My G1 receiver arrived at my FFL yesterday, I can't wait to see it:biggrin: :D :wink: :shades: :fal: :fal: :fal:

[darkest2000]

double post, please disregard.

[edporch]

Called DSA today (3/5) and was told by Melissa that all receiver types are back ordered, and it would be at least 2 months or more with no definite timeframe as to when my receiver order could actually be filled. <br />DSA makes nice receivers, and I really had my heart set on a Type II for this build. But under the circumstances decided to pass. Maybe another time, and another build when they're actually available. :(

[SHARPSHOOTER]

I recieved a call from my ffl today . My reciever is in. When I get off work in the AM I am heading over to pick it up. I am so excited. I am gonna be able to build that type II Rhodie kit I bought from Randy at Sledgehammer. :)

[SHARPSHOOTER]

Well I picked up my DSA Type II at my FFL. All I can say is WOW!!! This thing is a work of art. I was trying out parts fit and everything falls into place. I am so pumped about this Thanks to everyone who makes this GB posible. :biggrin:

[darkest2000]

Just did the paperwork at my FFL, the DSA G1 receiver sure is purty!!! I can't wait to pick it up (stupid 10 day waiting period...) My dealer was really surprised with how much I paid for it(less than what he would've paid)

One thing I noticed about the DSA G1 reciever is that, rather than a stylized DSA Inc logo w/ a bullet across as seen engraved on their SA58 receivers, the G1 receiver has a DSA logo that is in plain, conservative letter, which matches the G1 marking style, absolutely classic!!!



Thank you DSA!!!!!!

[FAL-US-ALL-US]

So I'm reading over my order confirmation from the DSA GB and I see that there's supposed to be a form to check order status. Is there such a form? I've done about as much searching as I can stand over a dial-up connection and I haven't found it. This is my first FAL build and I'm trying really hard to not obsess TOO much but my StG-58 kit just looks so pitiful.

TIA,
Stay safe.

[iolaus]

I just called DSA when I got to wonderin'.

[big dee]

Picked up my G1 rcvr a couple of days ago. Echoing Darkest2000 above, it is a work of art the way they did the lettering. I think they should do that on all the rcvrs- very classy.

[RJS]

Is this gb still going on? When is the cut off?

I don't think there's an official cut off, as long as the link for the group buy order form still works I think DSA will accept it.

Update: apparantly all receiver types are now backordered, it seems DSA will still accept the order, however it may be approx 2 months until the order can be filled.

No such form from what I can see, you'll just have to call DSA to found out your order status, but you probably already know that.

[discountupgrades]

Ordered two weeks ago, Type II w/cut. Received 1 week, 3 days ago. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

[discountupgrades]

The order form still is working for me :confused:

[John Randolph]

I ordered mine last week. Type I no cut. They said they were back-ordered for at least a month.

No biggie.

[Adventurer_96]

My Type II showed up a few weeks ago, and it went together quite well.

My only regret is I heard about the G1 option AFTER I bought the receiver. So, the only option is to buy a second receiver I guess.

Well as far as I'm concerned the G1 is only available in Type I, so either way you'll have to get a second receiver. No regrets!!!

[fal fiend]

wonder what recievers are in stock,,or will be in stock soon ??:biggrin:

[SHARPSHOOTER]

How much is is the optional markings on the TYPE I reciever. ? I am thinking about this for my second order.

Are you referring to the G1 marked receiver? In that case, it's $25 extra, which makes it $350 +shipping.

[ckmorley]

till going on....... cool.

I bought a Type 3 a few months back which is slated for one of FWRA's MOAGB HB kits, but now I'm thinking of buying a couple Type 2's for future projects. The prices will only go up, you know.

CKMorley

[JoeLad]

I used the order form today. Called DSA with my payment info, Melissa is no longer with the company. The guy I spoke to didn't seem to know what I was calling about, the office manager has to call me back.

I just called to check the status of my upper from the group buy and was told the uppers are still backordered another month to month and a half.
If someone has any other information I'd be glad to hear.

[FAL-US-ALL-US]

I just called to check the status of my upper from the group buy and was told the uppers are still backordered another month to month and a half.

:cry:

Aw geez, as much as I want to use a DSA upper for my first build, those Imbel GL's I see around are starting to look better and better.

:mad: :confused: :cry: :redface: :sad:

[rhino444]

I ordered a receiver in March and was told I would have it in 6 weeks. It's been 13 weeks and when I called today, the first person said it would be another 2 to 3 months, I asked them to cancel my order, they put me on hold, then the lady with the accent came on, I told her what happened, she said she would check on it, she called me back in a half hour and told me it would be another "couple of weeks, the end of July", I pointed out that that was another 6 weeks, "oh right", I cancelled my order.

All you guys that were in line behind me. . .you're welcome :)

Where have you been seeing the GL's??

Due to requirements for new gun building, we have not had sufficient supply of receivers to fill stripped receiver orders.
We expect this situation to ease in mid July. We will fill back orders first then we will be accepting new orders.

I hope I don't get into trouble saying this to a platinum contributor but. . . the above tells me that reciever order customers need to go to the back of the bus, sit down, shut up, and wait for the driver to tell you where you are going to get off.

I don't mean to be offensive, just one honest customers opinion.

Well not to be rude but I still haven't received my latest and greatest STG 58 on order since April. Sorry but if they're that busy I would hope that full assemblies would be selected to be built off the receivers available first rather than parts for others who would be building their own conglomeration off their receivers. Of course if I actually had my STG 58 then of course I would be in the same boat as you ;)

Too many metric rifle orders to fill current metric receiver orders ? And we are expecting these guys to produce an INCH receiver . GIMME A BREAK

[g5]

Still hoping for an inch receiver. Someday.

[Princeton]

I called yesterday to check the status and was told they were backordered another month an a half!

I appreciate they want to build complete rifles but there has to be a point where they are going to fill orders that were placed months ago.

[InFALaBill]

Well I still don't have my latest STG 58 either.........and its a complete rifle.:skull:

[SpyderMan]

Well, it looks like another 2-3 month wait....

Watching DSA go downhill like this is painfull.

I called DSA today and ordered a US pistol grip, a para alloy lower receiver, and a semi- auto selector. While I was talking to Tina, I asked about the receiver status. She said the receivers are in the shipping process, and it depends on your confirmation number when your receiver will ship.

[McDobber]

When I callled today, I was told that the Type III receivers won't be available until sometime next year:eek:

[Jen]

Yep. They're in-between runs on the Type III's. The Type I's and II's are more popular so they're focusing on those right now.

[gw11]

I called today on my order placed yesterday for a Type 1. I was told 2-3 weeks. Not bad for a sale lasting this long! Thanks Jen!

I also called monday about my type 1&2 order that I made on sunday. I hope that the person you talked to was more informed. I was told 6-8 wks and that they were going to end the group buy. I hope that she was confused. She was very helpful and confirmed that my local FFL was on file.

Hope I'm right and your wrong!
I didn't catch a name, but the person that answered the phone did my verifying and she said the back orders are being filled first. And she had the girl that was running the sale since Melissa is no longer there call me back. Again I was on the run and failed my catching a name duties. So I guess I get, what I get, when I get it!
Besides I've got three Imbel Gears to tie me over, till DSA comes through.

My wife told me on the phone that DSA had called and my G1 marked type I was available and was going to be shipped. I am pumped about that, But I will have to wait a year to build it. Drat!!!:mad:

[Quarterbore]

Well I placed the order on this thread and paid DSA on the phone and I was quite happy to discover this group buy was still in effect! I ordered two receivers a Type 1 for a G1 build and a Type 2 for an Imbel Build....

I understand there are back orders and I asked for a guess on how long and I was told about 2-months but they are selling based on when order was placed....

Thanks Jen and DSA!

[SHARPSHOOTER]

You will not be disappointed!! The wait is worth it!!!

[SpyderMan]

Things are looking up - I called DSA this afternoon to see where I am on the list, and got an answer that surprised me a bit. They said my receivers are shipping out tomorrow!!! I'm trying not to get too excited until I know for sure that they're on their way to my FFL, but its the most encouraging answer I've gotten so far! As soon as these get here, I can start building those sweet FWRA para kits!

[sturmgrenadiere]

Just for the hell of it I ordered a group buy price receiver today via the online form, and got a confirmation email from DSA. So I guess it is still on. Very nice...

[JeffJ]

I ordered one got a confirmation # but they aren't returning my calls to give them my cc#????
