Well, they did it again!  PA just changed the “in stock“ date from 10-5 to 10-26.  Not PA’s fault I’m sure, but still frustrating. I’m going to hang in there though, it’s costing me nothing.

PA shows a 10-6 in stock date for both .177 & .22.

They changed it again so it is coming sooner? Now i am confused.

Just checked too... Fingers crossed!

AGD says the same thing! O man i hope its true

[Mosin Marine]

Do most of you still have your pre-orders in? I just ordered one in .177 last night! Only two weeks away!

I ordered through SG, the projected ship date is December 1st.  After discounts, I only paid $206 and some change, so yes, I'm willing to keep my pre-order and wait it out!

That is one heck of a discount!

Yep, couldn't pass it up.  I got the .22 SG had listed for $242 and change (Member Price) with a 15% off code.  I figure it'll be worth the wait at that price!  Also, using their CC they don't charge till it ships!

10/20/17 is your new ship date!

Yes i did indeed order from PA, i wonder if i will be in the first batch tho since i pre-ordered almost a week ago.

I cant wait, its like Christmas lol

 Well, I pre-ordered in mid June from AGD.  Hope the 10-6 date holds, but I won't hold my breath.  I'm only 77, so hope I get it before I die!

[Dbez1]

Well, in the past 3 days, PA went from estimated in stock from 10-5 to 10-26, and now back to 10-6.  Maybe the fact that they’ve gone backwards is a good sign.  Sorry, just noticed this is old news now!

[anti-squirrel]

Hopefully they will ship.  Kinda chaps my backside AGD and PA didn't come out and state outright "We have no idea when we will get these" or perhaps "We're looking at a 4+ month delay on these" or even "Order now in time for Christmas!"  Yeah, I didn't even order one, but I've had to listen to all of you (while I shot my repeater breech QB-79).

I wonder how many folks will never pre-order again?

I wonder the same thing, i wonder if umarex will bite there tongue on release dates in the future?

[WesBob]

Exciting anyway that they moved the dates back up closer, especially since it's only couple days away! That means the shipment must be in the US and they have confirmation of it arriving. Will be great to see these in all your hands!
Unfortunately unless someone takes the baffles out of the shroud for us Canadians, we'll be out of luck getting any, with our crazy antisuppressor law on airguns. We can't even get a qb79 up here, no one sells them anymore in Canada that I can find, and the US dealers won't ship to Canada either.

[redtrucker610]

I'm almost willing to bet they are sitting in the air venturi warehouse waiting to ship. Umarex probably set a first ship date. The company I work for does this with new items all the time.

Irritating...10-31-2017 at PA now.

Saw that too, kinda bummed me out

[Wayne52]

I'll wait til y'all get yours and they're available before I even ponder on the idea of getting one.

[anti-squirrel]

LOL, maybe I should sell my repeater-breech wood-stock MRod magazine-using QB-79.  So many folks chomping on the bit here.  I wonder if I could incite a bidding war      


Okay, on a more serious note- I feel for you guys.  This is ridiculous, and had I been one of the folks that pre-ordered, I'd not only have cancelled, I would have pointedly put both Umarex and AGD/PA on the "will not purchase" list for a good little while.  There's plenty of other guns and vendors to spend money on, and what smells like a sorta-QB-79-Ninja-bottle with the same repeater breech sold at @rcher with a plastic stock and a shroud is not worth this type of headache.  Sure, it ain't the exact same, but this gun- as far as I call it- is vaporware.  I've seen this dozens of times in software and even some hardware instances, and a few pre-release models given to The Chosen Few review sites are just creating more hype.
