Hi guys new here, been lurking for a while and thought I'd share some updated 2013 info for some of the programs I've gathered:
CZ-USA: Talked to Kipp Oertle (
[email protected]) the guy who runs their program and this was his response:
"We are still running the program but with the program the item must be in overstock. The problem with that is, I basically do not have a gun in the entire warehouse.
Our stock is horrible right now and will be for most of the year depending on what item you are looking for.
The prices are basically the same as last year.
Let me know what you are interested in and we will go from there."
I think the 2012 price list is still on Remat's site so go by that for pricing or you can just email Kipp for a quote, if its in stock you'll probably get it in about 1-2 weeks, that's how long my shotgun took.
S&W: It took about a month for me to get my packet in the mail. Placed an order for a Shield 9 and 1911-E a few weeks back. The contact for that program is Windy Clayton (
[email protected]), she can give you a rough estimate of how long for specific guns and how many are backordered. The wait for the Shield is 6-8 months and 10 months for 1911 to put things in perspective.
Ruger: Got a response from customer service saying the program will resume on June 30, 2013. I was also told the program contact is Elaine Sandberg (
[email protected]) I tried to contact her asking some questions but have gotten no response. I am not sure if they will be using the same price list from the beginning of the year.
