I don't know if you Guys are on CMP....

That forum was more awkward than when daddy hit mommy at the dinner table.

There's going to be a riot soon.

Could you summarize, or at least tell which one of their sub-forums has the drama?


If they have finally sold out of surplus ammo then that might be an explanation, or rescinded the purchase limits on high-demand items.

They released the garand sniper accessories and the wwII garand bayonets on the same day, e store crashed, violence ensued. It's on the ask Orest forum. Just a lot of pissed off dudes that wanted the super rare stuff

Yep, mixed results. Burt I did get some confirmations for things I really wanted (as opposed to items I just wanted).

Very happy to score a couple T-37 flash hiders for cheaper than you can buy a modern knockoff repro. (Their e-store woes knocked a cone style out of my cart.) So a couple Garands here just got some new accessories.

Cool congrats, I missed the M1D stuff due to my member ship (military ID) expiring last month and never updated so. about 0500 today I went to order a barrel before the gaggle and said my member ship had expired.

By and ACT OF GOD, I was able to update it in time to get on for the bayonets, Scored a WT, OL, and AFH, all on the first try.

And to top it off, I got my hockey Jersey in today.

It's worse actually. Orest locked 40 or so threads this morning.

The madness started with a morning release of M1D accessories, including scopes! Then the bayonet hunters started piling in as the specific US manufacturers were posted to the store.

Their e-store apparently lets in only so many people at a time (I was hearing of people who couldn't log in at all), but the credit-card processing functioning was completely hosed, and nobody was "leaving" the store, only milling around trying to get their orders to complete.

Plus, the software was removing items from carts seemingly when folks tried to start to check out, but then left the items in the carts from that point on, but nobody could check out . . .

I had several dupe orders related to M1D accessories, but sent them an e-mail asking them to cancel all but one. This morning I had a purchase "complete" after sitting in my shopping cart since midday yesterday. It included Oneida bayonets (modified and unmodified), but with the mess I'm not sure I'll get them until they arrive at my door. Quite a CF.

I missed out on the AP due to a work schedule; glad you got a pile.

And this was good too: Some orders did go through, but there were no success screens, so people kept trying. And kept trying.

Until the confirmation e-mails started arriving and they'd find they'd made one or several duplicate orders. So that presumably ate a lot of the scarce-variety inventory also.

They do need it.
