Chiappa LA322 Bandit Boot Leg .22lr 12" Non-Restricted

Ordered the day before the sale. I didn't call to ask anything as the sale notice can't be used for existing orders No shipping notice yet. I'll think twice before ordering from sfrc again. My previous orders were fine but this should have been listed as a preorder for sure.
I wonder if they'd cancel an unfulfilled order. These sort of games just seem slimy. Not something I'd do with my business.
They took down the Bandit/Bootleg pre-order just before the 14% sale by the looks of it...
Sneaky lol.
 
Interesting that you refer to your order as a "pre-order". I ordered from SFRC on the 7th, shortly after first seeing this thread, and in looking over the site I didn't see anything that indicated the gun was not in stock; option "add to cart" was active, so I did just that. When I inquired a week later about the unchanged "awaiting fulfillment" status of my order, the response I received again did not indicate anything about a pre-order, just that shipping was delayed due to high volumes of sales, etc.

I had specifically stated in my inquiry that I would not have ordered if I had known it was a pre-order.

As of now, my order is still "awaiting fulfillment"...as am I. I am not particularly impressed with the handling of this so far. I don't require instant gratification when I place an order, but some progress in the handling and processing and especially some update as to status should be expected. If there is...as I am beginning to believe...some intentional ambiguity in the wording of responses, I am even less impressed.

Does anyone have one of these in their hands yet?

Edited to add: Just noticed that NS posted on 5Nov, when they started this thread, that these guns would be shipping to dealers in 7-10 days, which indicates that when I placed my order on the 7th neither SFRC nor anyone else likely had any in hand. Again, looking over the SFRC site when I ordered did not mention this; they were happy to take my money for a pre-order without actually clarifying that it was a pre-order, or at least that they didn't have any inventory at the time. Shady, IMHO. :(

You’re not the only one who experienced this with SFRC. I’ve experienced numerous times over the years where I had items in my cart before a sale and when a sale went on, inventory disappeared. Others say the same. It taught me to buy elsewhere. I also see they deleted your comments on their post. Lmao.
 
Wrong, I ordered one with the 14% off sale
You just got it in there on time, I looked, even asked if I could cancel and re-order, and they were already taken down by the time I asked.
Oh well, it's likely going to be disappointing regardless of the extra $65 lol
 
I'm not surprised they didn't last long at the sale price, specially if half the people that had bought one the week before wanted to do a return/reorder..... hopefully the guns run smoother then the product release.
 
Will it take a full length LA322 buttstock?

Full stock SKU# is O98.901. You can order at any Chiappa dealer. Thanks.
