Re: 308 PMAGS

Shit, And you were the one turning us all on to them.

I can share some of mine. Maybe one each from those of us that scored?

Re: 308 PMAGS

Wow, Brownell's just stopped taking new orders on them. Said any existing backorders won't be cancelled, thank god. I had all my chips with them, 30 on backorder at $18.99 each.

Supposedly Magpul is making 300,000 mags per week? I read that somewhere. When I talked to Magpul they said that bigger distributors will get dibs on the upcoming shipments (hence why I went with Brownell's, they are listed on Magpul's site and they told me those guys get stuff first).

If you have to place a backorder, try and do it with one of the places listed on Magpul's site. And sooner the better.

Re: 308 PMAGS

I bought 20 308 PMags a while back.
I was putting off buying any more waiting for the FDE's to come out (supposedly was to be in Jan ~ I read that somewhere).
Then SHTF and as a precaution I ordered put some on order with Brownell's too ~ knowing at some point I will get them.
I can wait.
PLUS ... I learned that Cerakote works great on PMags.
I coated four in FDE to start with and you can't tell they were coated ~ looks fantastic.

Saw this as well. I had already placed an order for 5...but decided to try and grab some more today when I saw that they could no longer be added to your basket. Interestingly, however, I was browsing on my iPhone later in the day and noticed that I had previously added one to my cart and never checked out. It was still in there...so I upped the quantity to 10 and placed the order.

Went through just fine.

Weird. Same here. I happened to have a 10-pack in my cart on my phone so it let me backorder them. Afterwards tried again (with no intention of actually ordering again) and couldn't advance to checkout. Meanwhile, my backorder Dec. 3 still hasn't filled. If I ever get this new backorder filled they're going on sale here at cost.

Re: 308 PMAGS

In regards to ADI, there may be hope!

I placed an order 1/6/13 for some 7.62/.308 mags and emailed them asking if the items I ordered were on back order. This is the response I got just a few minutes ago:

"Thomas they are in stock but due to the amount of orders we are receiving our processing time is now 5-15 business days sorry for the inconvenience."

BUYER BEWARE on www.blacksmitharmory.com in Tempe,AZ. Myself and a friend both ordered 308 PMAGS from them on the 19th of December. They charged our cards the next day and won't return calls or emails since. The order status still shows "processing" on the website and wont allow us to cancel orders. I had a friend go by the address listed on the website and there is nothing there. Anybody in AZ know anything about this company?

Anybody in the Columbus, OH area.

Vance's has them behind the counter for $39.89 each.

Limited to 2 per transaction (per day)

On Friday they had 20-30 left.

Too rich for my needs. I will continue to use the shitty DPMS metal ones.

I heard there were fake sites popping up to take advantage of this. Sounds like you'll have to dispute the charges. I went to one of the fake sites, forget which one, it is easy to tell they are fake because they are the only ones with a full inventory. They also are places you aren't familiar with.

Re: 308 PMAGS

Anyone who has extra 308 Pmags, or finds them in stock locally or online please let me know and we can work something out, would reimburse and pay a small finders fee. I also have a lot of 556 pmags so we could do a trade if you have a few to spare! Thanks. I'm about to order my first GAP-10 and don't have a single mag for it!Shoot, the factory is less than an hour away, maybe I should just drive up there and beg!

Re: 308 PMAGS

Got my 'processing' confirmation from ADI Jan 4th. Nothing since. I sent an e-mail questioning the status of my order. I imagine I will receive the same response as others/above...fingers crossed...I will update when I hear back from ADI

Our processing times are around 5-15 business days due to the amount of orders being received. Sorry for the inconvenience, We are doing everything we can to get the orders shipped out as soon as possible. If you don't wish to wait we will issue you a full refund just ask. Thanks for your business.

Update: Still no package from ADI and no order status change....dirty bastards..email sent asking for a refund

Get in line somewhere like MidwayUSA, Hide Vendors, etc. (just by way of example) and wait patiently if you want to pay MSRP. Anywhere else at this point and you will be paying out the ass unless you just happen across a good deal. I bought 10 from a Hide member around Christmas for $22/mag shipped and that's the best I've seen/heard of since. The damned things are going for $100+/mag on GunBroker and not too much less than that on BARFCOM, etc.

And FWIW...Magpul just announced a 25-round 20LR PMAG at SHOT so I'm sure that's only going to fuel the fire depending on what their anticipated availability is.

 

[aur0ra145]

Re: 308 PMAGS

Finished my build today. I have a single shot LR-308!

Hopefully the mags I ordered will come in, it's been a month tomorrow since placing the order (when they were supposedly in stock.)

Yeah I saw they announced the 25rd mags today. Those are awesome but will probably be non-existent.

I was hoping to find a couple for around $22-$25 a piece even used but no such luck and I don't have the kind of cash they are bringing right now on other sites.

I'll keep looking. Thanks man

Re: 308 PMAGS

If you are in Houston TX and really need a pmag or 2, Spectre Firearms in North Houston has the 308 flavor in stock at $39 each. I guess that beats gun broker. This is as of ~10am central on 1/18/13.

DSG is awesome, and they are getting them in. i backordered on dec 23rd, had my mags on jan 6th. and the mil discount is the best i've seen.

I may be the only one to have gotten my mags from ADI, but it took two weeks. And, that was before I posted it here for all of the "vultures..."

I called every gun shop in Houston today and only 1 had any in stock (spectre firearms). Anyone got a hot tip on cheap pmags for sale on line???

I should have bought every mag that Fountain Firearms had when I had the chance. Anyone that got 308 pmags from them after Dec 21, You are Welcome!!

I don't find it legit if they were claiming to be in stock when in fact they are back ordered. I hope that isn't the case.

So far when we have been told is that its just "processing time"

I placed an order with them on 1/4 and received the "processing" email, but not tracking number yet, so I just emailed them to check. I ordered over 60 various model pmags from 4 different vendors in December/early Jan so I'll be happy to see the majority of them even if it takes another few weeks. Will advise.

We have the items we just cannot package and ship fast enough. We got started on jan 4 orders today so look for it to go out soon.

Re: 308 PMAGS

I received an update 2 minutes after requesting status. They explained one group of orders was processed faster than another.

Considering the country is in panic mode I have no problem waiting. It took whatacountry almost 4 weeks to send me 16 AK mags with no warning in between. Needless to say, I was all smiles when the box arrived and I'll be all smiles again when the ADI order arrives.

Patience....

Well I boned up back in early Dec and placed an order with Botach for 10 of these things and I just got this email today. Looks like I will only be getting 3 of my 10 I ordered. The shit part is I ordered 10 for a reason! They were $18.95 back in the day. Now I will need to go get in line somewhere else.

"To all our valued customers,

The last 60 days have been a real challenge for us and all the people in our industry. We are doing our absolute best to ship orders, answer emails and phone calls in a timely manner.

Please Note: Even as manufacturers are slowly starting to release goods we are NOT getting nearly enough products to fill the massive orders we received.

In order to be fair to all our customers as product arrives, we will reduce quantities on hi-capacity magazines to a maximum of 3 per customer, as we have received orders of higher quantities than we can offer at this moment.

Be advised that due to the high demand we are unable to provide ETA on magazines and all related products. We are constantly receiving shipments from various vendors and processing orders on a first come first served basis. Your credit/debit card has NOT been charged until your order is ready to ship.

We appreciate your support and loyalty,

Botach Tactical"
