dinzag 31 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Perhaps I should have waited 'til the web site was up before ordering. Yeah, like me and pay $45 each instead of the $33 initial offering... Yeouch, I'm kicking myself ever since. I missed the damn deadline by a day. My fault for not having the funds, it wasn't like I wasn't given a deadline... Many thanks to Pvt Pyle & the whole gang at FBMG! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ShadowAngel 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Well - the post man came and went and still no magazines I am beginning to think that there was no real advantage to signing up early for the pre-order. Perhaps I should have waited 'til the web site was up before ordering. I was hoping to go to the range on Friday and test these babies out. - bummer Oh well - I guess there is always Saturday or Monday... (*sigh*) Ditto. Considering I ordered the first day they were offered, paid the first day they started taking payments, and am second on the "paid" list, I really figured i'd have mine by now. I realize i'm being a bit impatient, but due to how packages arrive around here, I like knowing when to expect them so I don't have to check and make phone calls every day to see if something has arrived.

I ordered and paid early the first day and am right behind you krinkovliu on their posted list. I realize that FBMG has since said the list is not the actual order, but I know I'm among the first few who did order- I even PM'ed James to see just how early the first day I could place my order. I'm sure the mags will arrive soon and I know they are great magazines but it is a bit of a drag to see everyone else receiving theirs and still not having any in my hands! Please tell me the USPS delivers on Thanksgiving! Yeah right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaGroaner 2 Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) Just got back from the mailbox and no mags. I got my S-12 mags yesterday but I've really been enjoying my .308. I absolutely love this rifle. I almost wish I never bought any X39s at all. Now I'm up to my neck in them and all I want to shoot is .308.

dinzag 31 Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Funny you should think the suprise was for the 12ga. It IS for a 12ga, but it is not those. Hmmm...S-12 drums!!! Wahoo!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well - the post man came and went Friday, Saturday and today and still no magazines I guess (hope) they'll show up at some point in the not-too-far-off future and that my order was not somehow misplaced. For those who got their mags, congratulations and I sure would like to hear reports on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
O.S.O.K. 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I don't have mine yet either - and I had an address change... But, I'm just going to be patient and wait. They'll come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where in hell is that delivery truck? I'm not quite sure how people that ordered on the website when it opened are getting the mags before people that ordered before the website started taking orders. I had an address change since my original order, so i'm having to make phone calls every day to see if that place has got it or not if it's not here. Kinda frustrating.

headshot 52 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Don't forget that the holiday probably screwed shit up with the USPS delivery. Holidays have a way of doing that. Especially when lots of people order snooty mail-order meals via next day service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
O.S.O.K. 0 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I made an address change too, but I notified FBMG twice about it - trusting them to have changed it. And the holiday did screw things up - I have another order that shipped on the 17'th and it hasn't arrived yet either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
monomonk 0 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I gather that FBMG assembled and sent out several hundred mags on November 24. These were received within a few days. The announcement that mags were being shipped, and reports by recipients, created the false expectation that all who had placed preorders would immediately get their mags. It appears, however, that there has been a hiatus in shipments--nothing shipped for perhaps ten days. Hence the expressions of impatience and disappointment. FBMG has promised on another site that all pre-orders will be filled within a week or two. So we can probably look for the shipment of another batch of mags in a few days. Can someone in the know confirm my speculation? Thanks, Monomonk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PvtPyle 0 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I have 1700 mags here in front of me that we are trying to put together to get out to everyone. That is the balance of the outstanding orders from the pre-order and the online orders from the last few months. We are working on it so you guys can get them ASAP.

TEXASAK73 13 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Well I would rather these mags be properly assembled rather than rushed out improperly assembled just to make some impatient folks happy. We will get them,they have been built.I just need to place another order soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
