Backorders

I'm sitting on a few.

Sportsmans Guide...I've made about 5 orders with them. The first went backorder and I cancelled, the rest have all been delivered in a reasonable time.

Just after the panic started I looked around for normally priced pieces. I ordered, the upper and build kit from Palmetto State, which came in as scheduled. I ordered a lower which came in as scheduled, and I ordered a BCG from Sportsmans guide. Everything came in as scheduled, except the BCG. I got a notice that they would be backordered until March. No problem. Then in March I got a notice that they were backordered until May. OK, still not a real problem. Then in April I got a notice that they were backordered until August...WTF.

Alexander Arms. I decided to prep my rifles for suppressors, and searched and searched for someone with the 51T mounts. I ordered them from Alexander Arms, they didn't list the ones I actually wanted in .308(Brake), but they did list the flash hiders, and I mistakenly took the fact that they didn't list Brakes, but did list Flash hiders as an indicator that they stocked these items. I was apparently wrong, I have received nothing but an order confirmation, in February.

Who else is sitting on Backorders?

My December order from Botach was cancelled by them in March. I re-ordered from Mid-west shooters and still waiting for it.


**100rd's of 6.8 brass is the only thing still on back-order. They are just holding my other items, unless I want to pay double shipping.

Been waiting for a couple months on some Magpul furniture. No big surprise really given what they're going through.

I thought my back ordered 4 Pmags from Midway USA back in December was cancelled (I received an email with for the cancellation and everything), but all 4 mags showed up at my doorstep last week haha. Oh well, I was only charged $12.30 a piece for them so I'll keep'em.

Some AR scope rings from Optics Planet, that said when I ordered in stock, and on the web page still say in stock but emails and phone calls tell me out of stock.

.458 SOCOM upper from RRA. Said it was a 4-5 month lead time when I called, so I was like "OK, no problem." Got an email yesterday saying indefinite now and it's still a 20% cancellation fee.

Few group buys for ammo here and another with someone I thought I trusted. The GB's here I'm less worried about, but the other one I got in for 5k rounds back in December for Lake City 5.56 green tip at $280/1k shipped. Got bumped to Feb due to Sandy Hook and panic, no real problems, or so I thought. Then bumped to April and now bumped to June.

Got 1 at Sportmans Guide that keeps getting pushed back. Early Feb, then 20 Apr now its up to 5 Jun
Botach has been on BO forever but I ordered a lot of pistol mags so that was expected.
Other than that I think I got everything else.

A few odds n ends , nothing important, like lowers etc.

I haven't bought a ton but haven't really experienced any long backorders. I figured that my BCG from Windham would take a while but I had it in my hands in a couple of weeks.

My Brownells backorder of 10 Pmags in 5.56 shipped yesterday, ordered on 12/26. Still have B/O at Ruger, S&W, ProMag, and Sportsmans Guide.

I'm getting a lot from Dec
