Ruger ALMOST Came Thru! *UPDATED*

This is something I really appreciate about Ruger (or any retailer that behaves likewise). They honor their orders and prices at the time of order. Placed an order at ShopRuger.com for magazines back on January 14th. Got an email from Ruger this morning. Shipped USPS Priority Mail are -

3 BX-25's @ $31.95 ea.
10 30rd SR556 mags (Pmags w/ windows) @ $19.95 ea.
1 10rd SR556 mag (for target shooting on a bench) @ 19.95 ea.

All at pre-Big Scare prices [:)] The real cost to me is zero. To pay for these I sold the ten Pmags I already had (no windows), and most of my Thermolds. Sold well below gouger prices, mostly to co-workers.

This brings my 10/22 mag count up to about 15 of various types. AR-15 mags back up to to about 25.

Here's what I have coming:

    Yup!

    Cabela's honored my ammo backorders -
    500 rds of .223 XM193 @ $7.99/20. GOT IT!
    500 rds of 22mag ammo, CCI Maxi Mag at $9.95/50. GOT IT!
    2625 rds of .22LR, Federal Champion @ $21.99/525 ... ships April 24th!

    Won a brand new Bushmaster on GB for $750 [:0][:D]

    So it's all cruising along nicely [8D]

    According to the paperwork in the box I just opened Ruger canceled my Pmag order and gave me a $10 Gift Certificate. The BX-25's and the 10 rd AR-15 magazine did arrive today.

    Well ... shoot!

    The prices will come down and stock levels will go up. Look at it as them saving you money for when you find pmags at pre panic prices.

    Thanks for the offer but ... Nope, sorry. I do still have more AR-15 mags than 10/22 mags. Just no Pmags [:(]

    True.

    The paperwork, the more I look at it is a bit confusing. I just emailed Ruger to ask for clarification.

    Wondering if they are meaning the Pmags are canceled and $10 is compensation for this grievous loss or if they mean to back order still and the $10 is a "Sorry for the wait here's a snack"?

    All will be revealed in time, not sweating it.

    I would assume that Magpul isn't making special runs of magazines right now. Run the normal stuff, no set ups, no color changes, just run run run.

    ...I had plenty of PMags, but wanted some more, but, was 19 December when I decided I wanted 200 more...50 black ones arrived a couple of weeks ago, but the window & colored PMags are still back ordered.

    Plenty of black ones thru a guy I know for $18.00 bucks, but Im not paying stupid price...yet...[:D]

    Magpul stated that until they get "caught up", whatever they consider "caught up" to be, they will only run the plain jane black mags, so its wait wait for the window & colored mags, no biggie...I have time at $10.75 black/colored & $12.25 window...[;)]
