The e-mail came on the 15th. My mother didn't bother to read it and since she's the member of the member's club and not me that's why I didn't order it and that's why it wasn't e-mailed to me.
Anyway, I was reminded of the purchase by their new catalog that arrived today when I saw this;

http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=322980

... Those are the same exact mags that is supposed to come with the 12 pk that I'm getting for $17.97.
They're selling it sans the mag pouches and cleaning kits for $20 per 6.


They have to 'ask' me to approve a ******** back order?
I ******** ordered the god damn thing and they sold out so I have to p***y foot around and resubscribe the order that I made because they're being retarded?

Sounds like it's a legal thing, not their fault. They HAVE to ask, they can't just do it.

It's just really annoying especially when you look online and see the item and they don't even say that they're back ordered.

I bet if you ordered one of those, they'd tell you they were back ordered. xd

I almost ordered a pair of pants from them that I saw in their catalog, but when I went online they lost all their long/short selection. I need medium LONG, dammit. Why is that so hard?

No idea.
Kind of odd that they would lose their size selections.
Maybe they sold out of those sizes or goofed and forgot to put it in on the site?

Probably the two best possibilities, right there. I swear, someday, when I get up some money, I'm gonna buy, like, 20 pairs of 5.11 pants in various colors. I have two pairs, one was horribly cut and fits skin-tight and two sizes too small, and the other is the best pair of pants I've ever owned.

Do any of the milsurp pants fit you?
They have some of those as well; Swiss, Dutch, some German (although they're the riding pants with the very distinct bulges), and some others that I can't even remember. I think that's it.

I wonder how you convert the Euro sizes... neutral

I've tried. Unless it has 'long' in it, it'll never fit me. The world is full of short skinny people and tall fat people. To be tall and skinny is against international law or something.

Keh, that sucks.

There also seems to be an issue with short and fat. Well, more of the medium ground between fat and skinny.

I haven't had too much of a problem finding commercial pants that fit me there, I'm tall, broad shouldered and... well... not fit.
Or coats either. Well most are a bit too narrow at the shoulders but there were quite a few that were broad enough.

But that's going into the store and trying it on which isn't an option for everyone. confused

Not out here. We have Mexicans. You get a plethora of weights, and all under 5'8". Us tall whiteys are an afterthought.

I swear, there's probably no other area of the country where you can buy pants in 34x28.
