Not a great forum, but I found this.

If I can get a replacement or similar item for refunded amount at this time, I will be happy with $100 gift card.
Right now, I till cost me over $1000 extra to buy something like Troy Defense Carbine.
It is like I bought a F'ing options, and some @sshat registered securities firm failed to deliver my F'ing shares when I exercised the contract.

Pretty sure you're screwed on getting a similar item for the same price. You can thank the people on this site for contributing to that. I hope that wasn't your one and only AR.

Thanks. Thankfully, I have one ar at this time. If I didn't pre-ordered this Troy Defense Carbine more than a month ago, i could have gotten Ruger SR-556C that was listed here for 1000.

Thank you everyone for your time and information. At this point in time I have filed a complaint with the BBB. One thing I know for sure, DICKS has lost my future business.

Called Troy a few minutes ago - Barry was nice to inform me that DSG did not (based on they way/discount they were selling the rifle) plan on ever really delivering the expected volume they took. It was only aggravated by the unfortunate shooting. Basically, it (the rifle) was like that one car on a dealers lot that they sell for "thousands less" to attract the customer to browse and peruse the other inventory. I paid $715 out the door - according to Barry "way under cost to Dicks"...
He told me to stay tuned today/tomorrow as they will be announcing a new partner and pricing.

Well put your name in the hat for the one R&S is selling for MSRP raffle style.

Hell if I win the raffle and you have the $$$ I'll only charge you 20k for it. Go big or go home!

Some info from Fox News:

“What makes this situation even more frustrating is that I am a law enforcement officer and purchased this rifle specifically to use while on duty,” a gun owner told Military Times. “My agency allows us to carry rifles, but cannot afford to issue one to every member.”
“It’s unacceptable,” customer Troy Blackall told CBS 11 News in Dallas.
Blackall and his wife paid for two Troy Carbines – but they only got one. Instead, he said the company sent him a refund and a gift card.
“The gun prices have doubled and tripled in price now. So it’s not like we can get our money back and buy the guns someplace else.”
He said he would sign on to a class action lawsuit “in a heartbeat.”

Thanks for the update! What are the next steps that the people involved need to take?

I wish I knew. But my guess is that there will be a lawsuit, and it will be well-publicized enough. Folks on the forum will post it if they see it. I certainly will.

Not a big fan of lawsuits but in this case I feel Dick's needs to pay out some $, and not just $100/person.

I hope Dick's loses if there is a lawsuit. I wouldn't be sad to see them close there doors either.
