    Looks like CMP to "ration" parts......

    This is too funny........

    "looks like several folks ran wild and tried to buy everything we had on estore - we will relook at prices this week. apparently we have wholesale instead of retail prices for some items - can't have that.

    If you placed an order for more than two items on estore, we will reduce that quantity to two. "

    There is only rationing for the normal person. I'm sure Orion 7 or Dupage won't be rationed.

    Don't worry if plan "A" fails, there are still 25 other letters in the alphabet.

    Looking for S/A bayonets s/n 922033 & 1045220

    Orlando...thought you did.....LOL I don't think they sold that big of a lot the first night. The inventory level seemed to be loaded at 200 or less for each option. They have them listed again and if the 50k number is correct for the drill rifles then that makes makes some big number of parts available. Considering the clip latches and op-catches have been real hard to find this is a good deal for the small guy to finish a project or snag a couple spares. With a two of an item per day limit they should last quite a long time.

    I'm all for rationing too, by free people and when done to terms agreed upon. If I had ordered a bunch of parts and was told the next day I only get two, I'd call BS! That's not customer service. I have to give people what I agree to sell them all the time, don't get to change my mind. Of course most company's have to do that.

    On the rationing, the most economical way in the history of man to ration is PRICING. If you are a dumb @ss and price your stuff to low it will be sold and you will look stupid. There will also be a mad rush while your cheap items are being sold causing poor customer service. This is the issue that ammo manufacturers needed to understand during the last two rushes.
