THAT is the question that no one had an answer to...
I have a feeling i am going to be sitting and waiting for months at a time BUT the form 4473 is only good for 30 days so....yeah.
I simply dont know on this one man.
Quite frankly, the deal was too good to pass up otherwise i would have told them to go fudge their own faces. It is a SCAM to order the rifle when they have a complete inventory available (the guy behind the counter told me they had a bunch in stock after i asked). I have never in my life ever been particularly interested in Black Friday sales but as i mentioned earlier, this is a hell of a rifle for that price.
They simply wanted more rifles on hand to sell on black Friday.
This is like wanting to buy a football at sports authority that is right on the shelf but they tell you that they have to order it for you. Absolute BS but ultimately, the consumer, ie ME, DID Have the option of leaving without spending my clams.
I chose to take my chances, hopefully i wont end up regretting it.
As an aside, the manager of the store told me that it should be in in under three weeks as that is the usual transit time from their Atlanta warehouse. I smelled another heaping pile of bullshit with this statement but we will see.

The wording here is pretty clear. Take a look.
"IN-STORE ONLY
WHILE SUPPLIES LAST
MSR model selection varies by store based on state and local ordinances.
FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION ARE LIMITED TO STOCK ON HAND. QUANTITIES VARY BY STORE. "
I will be calling corporate tomorrow to see what the hell the deal is.
