While our dealer orders are almost all taken care of we have begun to eat into our consumer orders and expect to have those done soon ! What month do you expect all dealer orders to be taken care of (completed) ? That would be great info for those that ordered from a dealer to know. Ps. I also think those on the consumer order list would like to know when dealer orders are out of the way and you can concentrate 100% on their orders.

Travtastik Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 What month do you expect all dealer orders to be taken care of?

Only thing they can say for sure is “maybe next month.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing they can say for sure is “maybe next month.” Shouldn't be hard for them to figure out. I think they know how many dealer orders are left to fill. Also how many units they are completing each week. They might even decide to send the next couple of batches of presses to dealers just to get the dealers out of the way so they can concentrate on their consumer list. They did say "We here at Mark 7 understand that its taking time - we're getting better at building these every day."

andrewtac Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 If they gave us another date then there’d be more post complaining about not making schedule. I agree the wait sucks. I made a decision to buy it over a 1050, knowing I could have a 1050 right away. I suspect most of us waiting knew there’d be delays. I also suspect they are still working out supply chain changes and their own changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stymie12000 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Just spoke with DAA today! I'm 5th on their list for the EVO. Ordered July 2nd! DAA said 3 of their EVO orders were filled in August. Also said they were hopeful to get more than 3 in Sept. But didn't promise anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they just keep with that schedule you will be a happy camper in October. And me in November. "hopeful to get more than 3 in Sept" This would make Ocrrhbow happy he is # 4 on the list. Please let us know when you get yours. Edited September 10, 2018 by Norm37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armedmoose Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 All you DAA order guys... You have more hope than those that ordered direct from Mark 7.. Order date Feb 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a lot of ammo before I sold but have run out. I've started buying ammo from friends. Having professional ammo made for Nationals. Maybe its like SV and they artificially keep the wait times long to keep the allure of exclusivity high. haha. Im just a pretty impatient person when it comes to anything.

I think they are also sending some Presses to those who ordered from them and other dealers. So they are probably shipping more than three a month. Once they complete all the dealer orders things should really pick up for those that ordered from Mark 7. Hopefully you won't have to wait much longer.

RGA Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 FWIW, I'm seeing a number of new registrations on the Mk7 community since friday, so it appears like some presses are being delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just a pretty impatient person when it comes to anything. Yep, Same boat here, reloaded what I thought would be a couple months worth of ammo for practice and matches. Sold presses in March a 650 and 1050 ... My Mark 7 Autodrive looks lonely on the bench just sitting there.. While I appreciate the 550B, I despise it as I know a better reloading life is for me. My biggest hope is having ordered the Autodrive Conversion parts doesn't further delay my Evolution order. I've had some contact with Mark 7, the customer service reps are very nice, but unable to nail down an actual production date or shipment ETA for me.

RGA Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Gents, As the Mark 7 trimmer is on back order at this time, do you think that the Dillon RT1500 will work on this press? Has anyone tried? Thanks, RGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikamarj Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 How well does your Mark 7 powder measure work? On mine I noticed that it doesn't always come back to lowest point possible when toolhead goes up, that could cause variation in amount of powder... Haven't yet tested much, maybe there is just some toolmarks that will smooth out. (Overall not really happy about that there is no mechanical, forced return on the powder measure, don't trust the spring return on extruded powders) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiller Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I asked DAA for an update on my Evo press order yesterday and so far crickets. I think they might be sick of responding to the same question from many of us! I'll update if I hear anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Mark 7 sends Presses in a batch to dealers near the end of the month. I hope they send a bunch, as I want to move up on the list.

I just gave DAA a call and asked when they received the three presses in August. He said August 15th. If Mark 7 keeps the same shipping time frame for September, hopefully you will hear something next week.

That was my guess also, so lets hope I'll be getting a "We just shipped your new press" email next week instead of "it will be a few more weeks!

Jason Krywicki Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I just got the call from Mark 7 this afternoon. I ordered the Evo Pro directly from them on Feb. 5th. They told me I'm on the bench now being built, and I should have it before the end of Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
