You really think he calls in every order to check stock on every piece of it? Really? The dude is slammed with orders. If he called to check stock on every rail and barrel for every order he would be lucky to even get all the orders placed. Yes, it's a flawed system but until he and DD can come up with an automated system with stock levels it can't be easily remedied. He does what he can for a one man operation. He keeps the prices low by having low overhead.
This...
I think it is unreasonable to expect Tommy to know what is happening at any given time with any given order. He is slammed as a result of a KILLER deal which, I'm sure, has translated to a sharply increased demand for these particular items @ DD, leading to a shortage in the inventory that they had.
I placed my order for my 16" Middy/ 12" Lite Rail on 12-2-10 and haven't heard a peep. But I don't expect to see or hear anything until well after the first of the year as a deal like this is worth waiting for. Hell, I'll probably place an order for another upper for my girl before I see the one I ordered 3 weeks ago
Placed my order for a DD upper 12/9 and hope to get it by my birthday on 1/6. If not, I can wait as it's a great deal.
Ordered on 11/23 and it arrived tonight, so exactly one month for me. A friend ordered c. 11/26 and his is supposed to arrive tomorrow. He got a shipping email, I did not, mine just showed up out of the blue. It's nice.
I ordered knowing that these were built to order on an unpredictable timeline, so I'm completely happy with the turnaround.
Hey thanks for all the feedback guys. This was and still is an amazing deal and I really don't care about how long it takes. In fact, I probably wouldn't have thought anything until my friend, who ordered it the same day as me, got his last week. So naturally, I got excited and just wanted to get a status update like a tracking number. If I was able to get in touch with Tommy, I wouldn't have written this post.
Anyhow, thanks again and Merry Christmas!!
I ordered my upper 15Nov, received (with next day shipping) today, 23Dec.
So... yeah. It can take a while. But it's definitely nice when it shows up....
My LW middie with 12" Omega rails and a BattleComp 1.0 compensator was ordered in late November. It arrived 18 days later.
However, I can appreciate the frustrating delays. I have a 6.8SPC upper from AR Performance on order with DD rails, and they are on backorder.

No, I don't think he does, that is evident. You appear to be misunderstanding part of my comments, or reading into things that aren't there. I'm happy for you that you like what you are getting and how you are getting it. You point out that its a flawed system, I agree.

Personally, I am getting damned frustrated with Tommy's business model.
I ordered a 14.5 inch LW with pinned muzzle device no rails, no nothing on 11/14, and I am starting to get pissed off when folks with more options are crowing about getting their shit before me, having ordered up to two weeks after me. That, and Tommy evidently doesn't feel the need to do customer service, such as answering e-mails or the phone.
Frankly, if I knew it was a one man, fly-by-night, trans-shipment operation, I would've ordered somewhere else and paid a little more.
