It shipped, I got billed for the correct amount thumb.gif




Placed an order for 1K of 7.62x39 on the sportsmansguide.

I knew placing the order that it was on backorder. Price was a grand total of $175 shipped with the discount and coupon I had.

Just got an email saying their order has been deleayed till probably Fedbruary 1huh.gif

They don't charge the card till it ships to me, think I should keep it on backorder or not. Its not getting any cheaper thats for sure, and I don't NEED it now, I was just buffing up the stock some...

SO... keep it on backorder or not?

granted I don't have the money now to pay for it so waiting is fine by me animlol.gif
If I do cancel I won't order more till next year anyways...

But then I got my Addax Gas piston AR. Sure I still have to keep a few small replacement parts, but I'll let you kick me in the balls for every malfunction I have with my Addax GPU, thats how reliable it is!

So far we are at, hold on, let me check..... ZERO!

Know a couple guys who had ammo on backorder with em and when the backordered shipment shipped they charged em the current sale price & it was quite a bit more than the backordered price.

Seems they tend to do this every now and again.

I say pass on the order and go to AIMs for a better deal and its in stock now.

I've heard to many times people buying from Sportsmans and getting their ammo backordered.
Only to have their price jacked up later when its in stock.

Go buy ammo from AIMs.

You maybe could get a written confirmation on the price.

If so, keep the order.

SG likes charging current prices and not honoring BO prices. I have heard several stories of this on various sites. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting.............

I have a current back order with sportsmans guide that is slated to not be here until 5-Jan. I also have a tracking # that says it has been shipped...
at the agreed upon price.

Keep your backorder, if you can find something cheaper or in stock, order it then can the SG order.
