    Current waiting time for Magma Engineering orders?

    Back on June 11th I ordered a Master Caster, Star Sizer, And several calibers of dies and molds.
    They said it would be 8 weeks before it ships. With everything going on I'm sure there crazy busy. And doing there best. I don't want to be that guy slowing them down by calling and saying is it done yet.

    Anyone have an Idea of how many weeks behind there currently running?

    Thanks in advance.

    I ordered a Master Pot on 7/7, and they just told me it should ship by 8/14. I was originally told 10-12 weeks.

    I talked to them on Friday about an order that I made in June (an upgrade for an older Bullet Master), sounds like it is going to be about 4 weeks behind the original estimate.
    They are really good people are are working hard to get everything filled, but they seem covered up like everyone else in the firearm industry.

    Eric from Magma called me yesterday to let me know they are getting my order ready to ship.
    I should receive tracking info in the next couple of days.
    We talked for a short bit as well. Definitely looking forward to setting everything up.

    Got a call from Eric and my upgrade kit for my Master Caster is ready. Can’t wait to see how the old Mark 4 runs with the new stuff on it.

    it varys.
    I had a customer tell me 16 weeks and no rush on a automation panel.
    Well four weeks later he is screaming for his panel as he got his caster already.
    I don't think there is a method to the madness.
    I say that based on the fact that some people get their caster in three or four weeks while others are waiting 13.
    If I were to place a order with magma, I would call them every 4 weeks if my lead time was beyond that.
    Don't like being hammered by the Cast Boolits Staff, then don't be a nail.
    The rules are simple to follow.

    The package arrived yesterday just got to excited and forgot to post here.
    Master caster minus thermostat control, add thermocouple.
    Everything seems to be good. I hooked up the PID to it today, it workes perfect.
    Two sets of molds.
    Star sizer with auto feed and two sets of dies "that I probably should not of ordered until after I slug the barrels".
