[QUOTE="1krr, post: 2576576, member: 750"] Yeah it sucks. What I'm finding the more I look, basically these online retailers are just publishing the inventories of whatever their suppliers say they have or have allocated. I doubt they stock much of anything. They sell it and it gets drop-shipped from whatever of "their" warehouses has it. I'm really not too worried about that business model (except that they are just playing middle men to extract some extra coin without adding any value like having a personal relationship with a reseller). My normal FFL guy who is pretty good about find things didn't have one accessible but he isn't a big time reseller or gun store. The big thing here is just the complete lack of "give a damn" about a customer. I do appreciate you guys thoughts as it just confirms my gut for me. Good news is, it was somewhat of a frivolous purchase anyway which I've since redirected it to enough off-grid electrical capacity to run our well for a reasonable amount of time (spending some wifey birthday good will)! Lol'ed about this one. Co-workers looking at me weird! [/QUOTE]
