My buddy Marv ordered a ten pack of USGI style magazines from Brownell's on 27Dec12. They were listed as backordered on the day he ordered.
They arrived today.
The magazines are all marked 3-09 and 4-09.
This makes me think that the "shortage" is not supply but throughput in the ordering system.
Brownells admits their computer system can't handle this. I'm still pissed that I tried to order a bolt carrier that was listed as in stock. It went out of stock, with no backorder. But because I put a little part on the order with it, I got charged more in taxes and shipping (60 miles!) than the gas key was worth.
ReplyDeleteMy LGS had some in stock. 6-09. I didn't ask the price. They were shipping them out.
