The lack of timely information is killing many of us. Many spent 4K several years ago with no firearm delivered. We need to know what is going on, current status on orders and frequent updates. The silence is a poor business decision. Please let us all know what is going on and the current timeline. I still want my firearm but the silence is very unsettling. Craig H Johnson DDS
I sent an email last Friday, asking info on the status of my order. Still no reply as of today.
@tomsc Tom we are having problems with our website and our main IT person has limited connection to the internet for the month of June. We are trying to get it fixed as quickly as possible. If you email me at Rob@automag.com I will do my best to help you.
Also, Craig we are making progress. I will talk to Patrick tomorrow and see what I can share. I know it has been a long process, but progress is being made.
Patrick called me and shared an encouraging update. He told me he gave Rob a bunch of info to publish here yesterday so hopefully we will get that soon.
Rob, thank you for the left-hand replacement grip - much appreciated.

There is an untold story there….well?
I also broke a LH wood grip on my first TDE Auto Mag. There was insufficient material removed in the area of the safety, and when the grip screws were tightened, it put stress on the grip, bending it slightly. After a relatively few rounds the rear upper corner snapped off.
When I got my next pair, I spent a fair bit of time carefully chiseling the back side of the grip so that there was an actual air gap between the inside of the grip (in the areas of the safety and the bolt hold-open), and I also utilized rubber O-rings around the grip screws. This further isolates and insulates the grips, and has the secondary benefit of keeping the screws from coming loose. They have since proven to be immortal.
You may want to do likewise?
I was going to do an update yesterday after talking to Patrick on Friday. However, I was in a place with limited cell and wifi service. We been working very hard to get everything up and running. The main constraint is the frame mill. It will probably be two weeks before it’s up and running. We have started getting parts kits together. A parts kit is all the parts needed to assemble a gun and on Friday we were able to assemble the first Auto Mag this year in Loris. We are working get the air compressor back into position and the press wired up. Also, about week ago we did receive the 357 chamber reamers but making another caliber is a low priority at this time. Once we get our IT issues sorted out I plan on starting to send out emails updates as well as making the site more user friendly. If you have any questions giving us a call is the fastest way to get in touch with us 8437560362. If you want to email me at Rob@automag.com and I will help you in any way I can. I will keep you updated on progress in the coming weeks. Thank you for your patience.
Sounds good Rob.
One of the best things you guys ever did is publish the waiting list so everyone could see where they stood. Sadly that disappeared about as soon as it appeared. How about bringing that back and updating it each month? I assume you don’t have to actually create the list (that is, you already have it as a working tool) so all you would have to do is publish it like you did before?
@robautomag I know I've only been waiting a year, which is lot less than others on the board, but that WAITING LIST, periodically updated, sure would be a boon to all of us. Please make that a priority administrative action. And I realize it is probably not our business, but if Patrick could share some info on that deal to "move" to CT that seemingly killed 6 months or so of production, I think we'd all like to hear about it. (BTW, beautiful pic attached. I WANT MINE... lol!)

Thanks for the info, Mike - I'll look into that once I install the grip. I'm fairly handy with most things but woodworking isn't one of them... we'll see.
Here's what the current grip looks like:
So is that a “no” on the waitlist then?
