I just got a phone call from Cabelas informing me that my Order for 2 of the 3 Packs 15-22 OEM 25 Round Magazines that I placed on January 10th was being cancelled because Smith and Wesson had sent a letter stating that they would not be filling Cabelas backorders for this item.

I did tell the nice lady that I would be watching the Cabelas website and if the 25 round mags were to reappear as available I would no longer purchase from them...

So get ready for your call if you've been waiting on these mags.

I don't believe that S&W would send such a letter. If they did, everyone who had back orders from the zillions of other merchants would be saying the same thing.
 
Unbelievable.....I am never buying another S&W product. I received the same phone call. S&W is refusing to honor existing back orders on the .22 mags.

I had plans to purchase another 15-22 after my back order was filled a year from now...but forget it man. Not giving another dime to S&W.

Name one other merchant other than Cabelas that has open 15-22 mag back orders?

Cabelas was the only one.
 
I have some on back order with Streichers. I have gotten an email from them every three weeks or so saying the order will be filled when available.
 
I've not followed this topic that close in recent weeks. I know S&W shipped backorders of the 10 round long magazines that people (including me) ordered direct from S&W.

Has anyone received any of the actual 25 round magazines from S&W that were ordered since all of this craziness started? Is S&W even shipping the 25 round magazines or are they only making them for new rifle distribution.

I recently received the two 25 round magazines that I ordered from S&W on Dec 23, 2012. I am still waiting for the two 25 round magazines that I ordered from Midway on Dec 22, 2012 (order still shows open).

I received the two 25 round magazines I ordered from S&W on December 28, 2012. They arrived a few weeks ago.
 
I called S&W and was told that they were unaware of anything like that letter going out to any retailer. I was told that they were filling backorders and even had some 10 Round longs in stock. I was able to place an order for the 25 Round and 10 Round shorts and get in line for now. I checked my Cabelas account info and they have changed my order status from Pending to Cancelled. SMH

Plenty of other manufactures out there good for you, makes more available for me. P.S. I received my 4 25 round mags from S&W.
 
just recieved the call, while I was reading this, they wanted to sell me the plinkers instead, they canceled my order.


Probably going to cost more for them in the future, so they are canceling
 
Is Cabela's only canceling backorders for the retail 3 pack of the 25 round magazines or all back orders for any M&P 15-22 magazines? Maybe S&W discontinued the 3 pack.

I ordered 2 - 25 round mags by phone from S&W on 4/01, they were backordered. I got them on 4/24 or 4/25.

I've got an order in at Streichers since Jan. $16.50 each I think it was. Kinda annoyed that direct orders seem to be getting filled before distributor orders. Or did someone from Streichers forget to actually place the order I wondeR?
 
I just noticed my credit card was charged by S&W for $46.50 today. That would be for the purchase of two 25 round mags I ordered by phone less than a month ago. Maybe try ordering directly from S&W and pay a slight premium over some of the retailers.
 
My LGS got a case of 25 round magazines about 2 weeks ago. He called me to let me know he was saving 2 for me. When I was in their last week, he still had some in the glass cabinet where he keeps magazines. As someone else said, maybe S&W is discontinuing just the three pack. Right now with demand, I wouldn't blame them if they did.

my cabelas order 12/26/12 was shipped yesterday

My order of one 3-pack was shipped yesterday from Cabelas. I still have another order (1/07/13) pending...no calls to cancel yet.
 
My S&W 25 round long magazines that I ordered in December shipped yesterday from Midway. $16.99 each ain't bad.
 
Cabelas called and cancelled my 3 pack order, but shipped my 2 singles to their store for pick-up. I may let them go back into stock, as I don't think I will be able to pick them up on time. I have plenty anyway, so no big deal.

Update: I received a package notification and based on the charge to my credit card S&W shipped 4 factory 25 Round magazines Friday - Just 9 days after placing the order. Total cost was $22 each including shipping.
 
I ordered (2) from AnacortesGunShop.com on Jan. 27 and just received a cancellation email w/o explanation. Grrr.
 
Cabela's Backorders
FAQ from their site cold be the reason

Cancelled Backorders

Why was my backorder cancelled?


Due to dramatic changes in market conditions, Cabela's has cancelled backorders for certain high-demand products. As always, it is our goal to deliver the same top-quality products and high level service you have come to expect from Cabela's. However, we believe it's better to cancel backorders than to present unrealistic expectations to our valued customers.

But don't know why they would give that excuse.
 
My 3 pack ordered 01/09 arrived yesterday. Wondering if those that got their orders cancelled missed one of the order update emails and that was the reason for the cancellation. It is pretty clear that Cabela's did not have some devious plot to increase prices etc. given that they are in stock today for the same price as they were in January... I'm sure glad they shipped the orders and glad you can get some today for the regular price if you live in a free state... and by the way...

thanks to those who have given all to protect our Freedom and God Bless America and our troops far and wide!
