Anyone know who has Eagle Plate Carriers (w/cummerbund) in stock?

I need size s/m preferably in Ranger Green. Every place I've called so far is out of stock and says it will be several months.

Thanks for any help.

That's a tough one.   Both SKD and Triad are out.  You tried calling Tim at Practical Tactical?  

Good luck bro!

I am out, too.  Been out for weeks. Getting new ones will be months away unless Divine Providence decrees otherwise.

I've called all three (and Optactical), I was hoping that someone might know of some little known shop that might have a couple shoved in the back.

The problem is that they've been backordered for so long that anyone who *did* has already likely sold theirs....

I've got stuff on backorder from March 2007, still....

Tim,
Are they telling you a couple more months or have they been saying that for the last year?


Anyone know of any Airsoft sites that might have them?

I've got a couple LE Non-Releasable CIRAS in Ranger Green in stock (large) if that would work for you.

Good luck.  I'd keep my eye on the EE.  

Eagle has been telling people that new gear for commercial retailers could be as long as 40 weeks out due to overwhelming government contracts.  I've been SOL on a few items as well.

I was being told 18-20 weeks back in Sept/Oct.  It was upped to 26+ in Nov/Dec, and my last inquiry (Dec/Jan) it was 40-ish.


As for Quantico Arms having them for that amount, my going rate was $175 + shipping, so it's not out-of-line.  AND when you factor in that they, apparently, actually have it, well, we see the Econ 101 Supply/Demand curve in action.

Thanks to everyone for the replies.

I actually found the exact item I was looking for. God Bless the internet! I may have gotten the last known Eagle PC in Ranger Green in the world!

Of course by the time you factor in my phone bill from calling all these places to check availability it will have costed me somewhere in the neighborhood of 2-3K

That's good to hear Tom.  Glad you finally found one.  Not bad too for 3 days hustle!

In the meantime, I guess the rest of us will wait the 40-ish weeks for ours......lol.

Actually I've been searching for about 3 weeks!

I finally asked here because I figured that someone would know.

I did one last search today and came up with a site that I hadn't called yet, they happened to have one left, I  just got real lucky!

I can't believe how backordered Eagle is! They must have a massive Military order.

I don't really know if this is Kosher or not but I've got my Eagle Plate Carrier with Cummerbund for sale on the EE for a competitive price  Save yourself the wait and do a search for my topics under my username
