Well damn, maybe I shouldn't have sold my M1A sitting in a G3 2 weeks ago. I had no idea people were waiting this long, I contacted them earlier this year about re-painting mine to one of their newer colors and was told it would take about 3 to 4 months, but the rep suggested I would be better off getting a new one in that same color and the wait was about 6 months, huh?! That didn't make any sense at all, so I just decided to keep it tan seeing as it was practically new anyway. I would never wait that long (over a year) for something in this ever changing hobby. Ah, just found the email:
Hi Frank,
It is kind of pricey for us to do a repaint because we have to mask off everything.
Here is the cost on what you’re asking about:
Re-paint stock a different color (and handguard if sent with stock): $200.00
Side Rail Adapters installed $159.00
Estimated lead time for paint and side rails is 3 to 4 months.
You’d be better off ordering a new stock from us and using the current stock in the meantime, and then selling the Grit Tan one later. Just a thought.
Estimated lead time for new orders is as follows:
Custom Orders for JAE-100 G3 and JAE-700 (choose options): 10 to 12 months ($400.00 deposit with balance due when stock is ready).
WANT IT NOW packages on JAE-100 G3 ONLY (as listed on website
JAE-100 G2 Want It Now Package | J. Allen Enterprises, Inc. (JAE) ): 6 to 7 months (payment due in full at time of order).
JAE is on Facebook now:
