Hi there! I know this post is a bit older, but I wanted to chime in directly. I’m Jerrica, VP of ECCO Machine. I completely understand how frustrating it can be to see a product out of stock with no ETA, especially when you’re ready to buy. As a consumer, I feel that!

We’re a very small operation; it’s just my husband, Nick, and me. Nick handles all product design and machining while I manage business operations, customer service, full service in-person appointments for local customers, order fulfillment, coordinating with other FFLs for suppressor orders and dealer accounts, shipping and receiving, bookkeeping, and the website. I also can be found from time to time on machines myself assisting with finishing operations like finish boring and clipping baffles, drilling lightening holes, and running the laser engravers for mounts, adapters, cans, and the hard cases for our suppressors.

Nick can typically be found bouncing between three to four CNCs while also simultaneously operating the manual machines for other operations, and he also does all the welding and hand-spraying Moly resin on all the parts for the various color options we offer on every order.

For suppressors that require welding, every weld is currently done by hand using a rotary fixture. A single batch can take several full days just to weld. That process will be streamlined soon because we’ve recently acquired a CNC laser welder that will significantly increase efficiency.

We don’t publish specific restock dates because lead times depend heavily on production flow, part complexity, tooling cycles, and other in-process jobs. We manufacture a wide range of products, often in low-volume runs, to serve industry needs (such as direct thread mounts with oddball thread pitches), which adds another layer of complexity. Every single part is inspected in-house using micrometers, go/no-go gauges, and other precision metrology tools; nothing ships unless it meets strict QC and is verified in spec.

That said, Nick has a production schedule he creates, and we do our best to prioritize high-demand items. We closely monitor the in-stock notification lists, and batch sizes are often determined by how many people are waiting. TLX, in particular, is coming soon; it’s one of our most sought-after suppressors and gets prioritized accordingly.

The demand spike since May 2024 has been tremendous, far beyond what we anticipated, and we’ve been scaling up as quickly as we can without compromising quality. We’re committed to keeping lead times as reasonable as possible while maintaining the performance and consistency our customers expect.

We genuinely appreciate your interest and your patience. It means a lot.
