i'd be really surprised if that happened- rainiers pretty straight up. very good reputation.. i cant imagine they'd be willingto risk that for a few hundred extra bucks in this lucrative climate.

They did in fact place a few highly sought after items on gunbroker a little while back but those never made it to their site. One was a piston LMT upper and I believe they had a couple other items as well.
eta: I have purchased from rainier in the past and will continue to do so in the future as I received great service and fast shipping.
Have you contacted Josh at Clyde Armory? www.policeguns.com. josh@policeguns.com. I believe they have factory 6933s in stock for $1495. The 6933 has an 11.5 inch barrel. Specialized Armament was offering (and may still offer) the 6920SP (or maybe it is the 6921SP), which has a 10.5 inch barrel.
carrico'z armory pulled that same crap.. i bought a few parts from him, then right after the election i emailed him about some MEGAs and he said he had several in stock, so i called/emailed trying to buy a couple- all of the sudden he wasn't responsive, and about a week later the website showed out of stock for all MEGAs and he had a bunch on gunjoker starting at a higher price. no more business with that guy.
