I placed the order in June 2019 and also ordered a 9mm 1/2x28 piston at the same time, which was backordered.
Fast forward to almost February 2020, and my paperwork should come through any day now. And the piston is still backordered. I contacted Silencer Shop where I placed the order, and they basically said they can't tell me anything, they don't have them so they can't ship them. I called AAC and got a woman, who sounded like she wanted to be anywhere else, and who told me the same thing; they are being manufactured but she couldn't offer the tiniest sliver of information on why it's been 7 months, or when I would finally receive the part. Lots of one word answers with long sighs.
I post this for two reasons, one, to potentially save someone from making the mistake I did (depending on the backordered part to make use of the can, assuming a backordered part would be in faster than it takes the ATF to process a tax stamp, working with AAC at all). And two, to see if anyone out there knows something that neither Silencer Shop or AAC knows or at least can tell me. I know there are some well-connected folks on here.
In the mean time my HK45 is ready to go with a new threaded barrel, and I guess I will be shooting .45ACP for a little bit.
