Received this email today...
Dear Valued Customer

We regret to inform you that due to our *** (Point of Sale) system limitations on holding backorders for more than 60 days, current market conditions and no firm ETA from the manufacturer; we are canceling all outstanding orders for Magpul magazines.

As the manufacturer is doing their best to supply all their distributors with small sporadic shipments, we highly recommend you to join our mailing list, Facebook and/or Twitter accounts for updates on inventory.

Tried ordering from them once. Never again as both things were out of stock when it did not say this on their site.

I haven't received that email yet just received 3 Magpul 30 rounders from them last week still have 3 in OD on order but guess they won't be made as they are probaly putting their efforts into the black ones. I've never had a problem with Botach and have ordered from them quite a bit including their online site and e**y. Never had a problem so far not to say I may not get the email just haven't as yet..

They messed up my VLTOR gunfighter order, sent me the 7.62 version, so i contacted them...they responded quick and gave me a return number...once returned, they said they wouldnt exchange, they would refund and asked me to reoder...i reodered, then waited a week before i got an email saying wasnt in stock...so i ordered off amazon...same night i placed order, got a RUSH DEAL email from botach saying the exact charging handle i wanted (which they said was out of stock) was on a 12 hour special sale deal with only 200 in stock...i wont use them again...

They're crooks. They waited for Black Dog to have their 50-rd drums in stock than immediately said they had them in stock on the website, but when you called them they told you they were not. This is the third separate event this has happened and I've read orders were charged to CC immediately and when cancelled it took over a week for them to refund.

Botach wrote the book on fail. I just got ten PMags from Kentucky Gun last week. Ordered three weeks ago. They were $22.99 each then, but now the price is up to $34.99 but they do show in stock.

OK got my email guess I'll look elseware for my other mags will still buy from them if they come in first at regular price. I guess they are going the route of a lot of others, nobody is complaing about and raise their price but I don't need anything bad enough to buy at gouging prices like others, I'll wait for normal prices or not buy as I realy don't need anything else, but will buy to build up my stockpile I already have. Ammo I have been finding here and there at regular price AAMOF I just scored 250 rnds of 12ga 00buck for $160 little high but I only have 500 rdns left.

I haven't had any problems with Botach, but then again, I've haven't tried ordering 30-round mags from them during this gun scare. Maybe you should try getting the Bushmaster-style black metal 30-round mags (they seem to be more widely available now than the pmags).

The sad/ironic thing is the day before I got the email I had ordered the Gunfighter from them and guess what?? I received it today and its the 7.62mm as well! Called and left a message to exchange it. I'm sure I'll have the same issue as you. It's too bad they are so inconsistent. I've ordered from their eBay site and had zero problems. Ugh.

That's because they're bound by ebay's rules. There's consequences for not following their ad. To where as ordering from them directly they can do whatever they want pretty much

Interesting. I've had nothing but good luck with them lately. I have made 3 orders over the past couple weeks for 30 round Barrett 6.8 mags. They had them in stock and shipped out the next day. Arrived on time, undamaged and nicely packaged. I'll keep these reviews in the back of my mind though.

As long as ur not ordering anything Magpul related. Then you shouldnt have any problems.

Not takimg up for Botach or anything, but this isnt the only company i've seen that has been failing recently when it comes to Magpul magazines.
