Hot rumors on Lapua?

[jsof]

Anyone hear any hot rumors on a reopening date for the Lapua test center in Arizona? I have a Vudoo action with a new barrel that was done by DI Precision and I opted to have it sent to Lapua in Arizona for lot testing before they return it to me. They stated right up front that Lapua was forced to redo their test tunnel and decided to upgrade the facility as well so there would be an indefinite delay, and I'm okay with that, but at this point even a good lie will do to keep me amused.

Due to overwhelming demand, we are limiting ammunition purchases to one case (5,000 rounds) per customer per four months. Our Ohio facility is currently booked six months in advance. Our Arizona facility is temporarily closed for renovations and is scheduled to re-open June 1st.

I can only imagine how long the wait list will be once they re-open…..

I heard from the Capstone manager a week or so ago that they were still waiting for an important piece of equipment to get offloaded at the coast so it could then get shipped to AZ.

Wow, considering how long they have been closed you'd think all the pieces would be waiting to go into place to reopen. Sounds like government work.

So did they hire a new manager (tester) yet?

I believe not.
