pmag backorder

[Ike990]

I ordered 2 cases of pmags on 12/20 from brownells. They won't give me a time frame on the backorder time.I was wondering if you gentlemen had heard anything.

From another thread a few days ago...
FWIW, I talked to Brownells this morning about some Dec 19th,20th,21st and 22nd orders of mine. They said a few things.
*Beginning of Feb at the earliest.
*They have over 150,000 PMAGs on order from MagPul
*They have over 75,000 PMAGs on backorder as of today, and obviously have stopped taking backorders
*She seemed to imply that they were NOT receiving regular shipments in from MagPal - said they were supposed to receive a big shipment in Nov and didn't and another couple of large ones in Dec and didn't and nothing in Jan yet....

I think the damn dictator and his idiot partner are going to act before "beginning of January." As in, any day now.

I think it will be a while before PMAGS are available in any real numbers.

What's a pmag?

Someone on another forum I frequent posted he received a shipping email from Brownells for his pmags...curious thing is from his post it sounds like he ordered after I did. Could just be his recollection of "just over two weeks ago," is bad. We'll see.

Somebody here posted that their 12/18 order for gen 3 30 rounders shipped from Brownells. My 12/18 order of gen 2 mags hasn't shipped.

While I'm sure the intentions are good, I keep seeing info from CSRs at various resellers that I know to be incorrect, as with the quote in this thread.

With all the folks that say they haven't had any shipments of PMAGs, I'd love to know where the ones leaving our docks are magically going that have their adresses on them, because we've shipped, um, "several" lately.

That being said, the backorder positions at various places are fairly extensive.

We're working very hard to meet demand and expanding the capacity of both the GEN M2 and GEN M3 lines. We are still concentrating on black to reduce down time in swapping colors. All variants of window/non-window and the 20LR are being made at capacity.

We have some unannounced things in testing that we might be adding to the lineup soon that may also help the demand.

So is it safe to say that what I was told yesterday on the phone by a fairly large retailer that Magpul is no longer taking orders for mags except for two retailers (themselves and another), is totally bull?

In some cases, the existing orders are substantial, so additional orders are kind of superfluous until we work through the current position. There is no blanket policy.

Our relationships with dealers and distribution is on an individual basis, and we work to make sure we meet the needs of all of our customers as best we can given the current situation.
