We say, hey, this one's probably not going to be good.
So then we have to send it back out, get a new one in.
So there's all kinds of different things that can come up that's going to affect the way our lead times run.
I mean, that takes my attention away because I'm doing the sales, I'm doing customer service, trying to take care of all these different things.
So,
I get this coming up and then I'm trying to figure, okay, well now how long has it been?
Because I want to make sure I'm responding correctly.
So that takes time to work on that, to go over when I've got people calling, people needing this for an issue they're having or anything else like that.
So it really does take 10, 15 minutes to try and figure out, well, what is this order?
How long has it been?
What are we looking for?
And so why is he already worried about it?
And I mean, that time could be put to getting more things coming in and being in the future more ready for all of your orders.
Which also, the hardest thing of doing that is, okay, what calibers are people going to buy?
Everything else.
It's hard to really identify what barrels we need in because there's a popular caliber.
And one time we'll sell 15.65 Creedmoors and then we'll sell them for another...
two months, but then all of a sudden it's six Creed Mords and 22.
So we've really got to bridge that gap to where we're not sure exactly what everybody's going to want.
So putting too much stock and then we're sitting on it for six months, all these barrels and you know, that's money that we're not able to move on and keep things working faster for you guys.
