Well...that was fun and interesting.

Well, I just had my first experience with online sales frenzy so intense it knocked out the site/servers(?).

I've been waiting to find some extra mags for my Scorpion, and they are the proverbial "hen's teeth" right now.

But I found that CZ-USA was putting some 30 rounders on sale today at 1PM.

So I started watching the site about 12:30 to be safe. You know...hoping for early, just refreshing occasionally.

Well...at 12:54 by my pc clock, the CZ site went BOOM. Died and gone. Not that they and I weren't expecting it to happen.

Servers overloaded immediately. We(and Thanks to Steelharp for helping me out) sat and waited for just short of an hour to get onto the site to place and order.

Even then the page changes were really slow. But Steelharp got thru, then so did I.

So now have some 30 rd mags for it! At least will in a few days.

Checked again after completing the order and getting a confirmation...the item # was gone.

WhenI started trying, the on hand was 776, so at least that many went out quickly.

Internet sales are fun.

Sounds like Bud's at Christmas.  I wanted one of those $99 CZ knock-offs!!!

Hipower, glad you were able to get some mags.  Much rather they go to someone who already has a Scorpion and will put them to use out on the range, than to the vultures who are going to list them on GunBroker and Armslist the day they come in the mail for twice what they paid.

 

I've been tapering off my enthusiasm for the Scorpion.  Not because I don't think it's awesome- it is- but I'm waiting for supply to catch up to demand, and price stability without having to synchronize my browsing to a time hack.  I'm also interested in seeing how the 922r issues are solved from CZ-USA and maybe some aftermarket companies.  I don't want to automatically SBR a Scorpion, as I think the brace adapter and CAA saddle would work fine, but I would like the option available.

 

So, with regards to the Scorpion, unless the chance to get one for a great deal comes my way, I'm going to exercise some tactical patience.  Hard as it may be.

FWIW...CZ says they officially sold out in under 45 minutes. But promise a BIG shipment of mags coming in soon.

Anyone want a Scorpion mag? $199 each +shipping. I should have some in about 2 weeks according to the order I placed today.

Wow! What a deal. I bet it's way better than the GB one I saw sold for 55 bucks.
