I've been trying to buy an Arrow 338 for two months but theres nothing in stock.

#1 did Gemtech discontinue this can?

#2 if not is there any indication from the mfg about stock status anywhere?

I noticed all but an obscure mfg has no stock.  Is there a problem with the industry supplying product?

I called gemtech and the Arrow is discontinued.

Hey SS do you all not use this forum?  Let us know so we stop posting questions in here and I wont come back!

Waiting for a particular silencer to show "in stock" on their website means you gonna be waiting a while.

"Backordered" means you can place an order, it gets filled as inventory arrives.

If there are 100 orders for a particular silencer, the next shipment contains 87..........13 of those orders wont be filled until the next shipment arrives. The item will show on the website as "Backordered".....but orders are being fulfilled.

In stock usually means they have satisfied all their backorders.

"Out of stock" usually means they dont expect a shipment for quite some time.

Yep. I waited for quite a while for the SOCOM 762 FDE to come back in stock for my SCAR.

DogtownTom, SS should be paying you for doing their job for them here!

Seriously, you are helping and answering more SS questions than they are by far.

I noticed Surefire 338TI QDs were in stock yesterday. I pulled trigger on that one. Paid, signed, fingerprinted at local Kiosk.  

Didn't want to wait for AAC and probably pay same as the Surefire.  I'm not loyal to either brand, but will be my first surefire can.


Hopefully its the 90 day mark for me. first eForm4 and hopefully SS actually responds if I ask them a question about it.
