So being I'm not much of a collector like in toy story allure..
I want to upgrade the furniture to Magpul..just stuff that is reversible. I mean all it needs is a light and its good to go for Teotwawki. |
|
FedEx doesn’t want to update my tracking on either shipment. One is supposed to be delivered today but hasn’t changed to on truck for delivery. Hmmm

Sweet, just got a call from the FFL who tells me my folder is in. Actually, he said he had a number of this lot show up, but mine was the only folder so far.
I wonder how many other arfcommers I live near |

Well, I just got off the phone with them. Per the guy I talked to, all the guns pulled from customers that over ordered have been sold already so, I don't know if I'd count on them showing back up in stock unless they can get more in. |

View Quote It's yours to do with as you please, but mine are going to stay as they arrive with the exception of a sling and a bayonet. |

FFL just called and my folder is ready a day early! On the way over now to pick it up.

Mine will be here on Weds but I'm still upset I only ordered 1. WTF was I thinking
|

Damn those look great
|

Phew! My FFL just called and my folder came in. I asked him to take a look and call me. He said "It's not really pristine but it's close to it. There looks like there is a little spot in the blueing but it could be grease. Overall, you're going to like it"

My two are marked shipped now.So will I get a email from FedEx with tracking later today?
|
|
|

All the guys that only ordered one are like https://media1.tenor.com/images/f111c7ea838ecac170cb022b648357ad/tenor.gif?itemid=4036795 View Quote Glad I did get one. Thanks for posting these OP! |

My order, 4079xxx (2 fixed), is now marked shipped! Tracking number is shown but not yet live on the FedEx site, so presumably the truck hasn't come by for pick-up yet.

Mine is still "preparing for shipment" and has been since Friday. I keep checking hoping to see they shipped but no luck so far. They have my money though...
ETA: I also still have one which is "Order being Processed" |
|
mine should be in Wednesday, only bought one fixed stock, kicking myself for not getting two now seeing the condition of y'alls

In this instance I would call. Could be something as simple as an FFL issue. View Quote |

I had a wrong address and card issue. SO I called and straightened that out and I am sure they just threw me to the end. I hate to call them and bug them as I know they are getting hammered with calls. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

That makes about as much sense as the folks offering $300 for one of these because they missed out and are “feeling generous”.... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Not to mention that things like this are generally better enjoyed in the configuration they come in. You wouldn’t buy a Colt SP1 and magpul it out. It’s cool to buy older guns like this and think of it as a window into another time. The 1970s aren’t THAT long ago to some people but it’ll be ancient history in the near future.

To put the time period into perspective. We’ll use 1972 because that was the date code on two shotguns I’ve seen so far.
These movies came out in 1972 The Godfather Joe Kidd Deliverance The Poseidon Adventure Jeremiah Johnson |

Well one of mine, the one that was being processed just shipped the preparing for shipment is still there I bet they had to pull in every Tom, Dick, and Harry to get these guns out.

I don’t recall if anyone mentioned it yet, but I believe the rear sling attachment on the folders is another hard to get part. Most of the time they are missing or never were installed on most police trade-ins

Mine comes tomorrow but my LGS doesn't know if he will have time to do the transfer since they have a major problem with one of their pumps and holding tanks at the gas station he owns. Probably be wednesday before he gets to it. Cant complain since its a free transfer.

Very nice. I'm jelly.
