Well, I say we're due for an update from SWFA by tomorrow.
Especially since the "batch" of whatever number was *scheduled* to go out Thursday and the world of shipping rarely stops for weekends.
Aren't the battery caps one of the LAST things to go on?
"Just in time" inventory control ISN'T.

Dan mis-spoke, he was so used to saying they are scheduled to ship at the end of the month (I think he even says it in his sleep)that he forgot the month changed.
The first shipment was scheduled to be in the air on the 30th and we missed that because of a delay in receiving the production battery caps.
We are turning them out as quickly as possible without compromising quality. These are very difficult scopes to manufacture due to the location of the reticle in the one piece tube, being 30mm adds to the difficulty. Our tolerance ranges are also much narrower than most manufacturers.
The first batch is ready to go and is waiting for the flight schedule to be finalized, we are shooting for Thursday the 9th.
We are paying extra for the air freight vs slow boat to get them in your hands as quick as possible. We've also instructed the factory to not wait until the scheduled amount for the next shipments is achieved and to ship them in smaller lots as soon as they are made and pass inspection.
We did have a small sample batch of ten flown in for our inspection, since it’s cheaper to fly the scopes here than fly us to the scopes. We sent out three and now have seven that we don't know what to do with.
