Here you go Matt, an old quote from Bill Ricca
"The safety pins are on all bandoleers. The pin is used to adjust the long loop so the bandoleer fits each individual, large and small. Some used the pin to make the loop a specific size, others also used the pin to attach the bandoleer to their clothing."

Thanks for info. I was wondering on the processing/shipping time. I ordered May 6 and have not heard or received anything. So, it's taking them 3-4 weeks to get it shipped out. Not a big deal, but at least we all know what to expect.

My order was placed April 27 along with a cleaning rod on the 28th. The orders had to be seperate. The cleaning rod hit my CC first by a day or two. Going to the e-store account, the ammo invoice shows a date of May 19. It never was given a Fedex tracking number there. However I attempted to sign up for Fedex's delivery notification. Kindof half worked. Got an automated phone call with the delivery date and tracking number. The driver actually called a couple minutes before arriving. I called him back and met him at the door. Pretty easy but did mean sticking around to recieve it.

Was this limited to two per buyer, or two per order? I could probably get the old man to order me some more, if it becomes available again, but would be easier to order it myself. That said, I already ordered two. |

jim77cg, is there a way to get a specific notification when surplus .30 carbine becomes available from the CMP, or did you just sign up for the general product update email under your account on the CMP eStore?

Yes, I received notification via regular informational e-mail from CMP. As i recall they sent out a heads-up that they had received the types of surplus ammo and after they had a chance to process it, they would make it available online for sale. As soon as I received notification when it was ready, I ordered.

I don't believe CMP sends out email when stock goes in or out of e-store. You just have to be diligent on checking or usually someone on the CMP forum gives a heads up in the Ammunition sub-forum. It doesn't look like they are allowing backorders via mail, some said they were notified it was out of stock but then it later showed up back in stock on e-store.

CGG-1943,
It took me awhile to locate, but this is the exact notice I received via email from CMP concerning recent surplus ammo sales. I can't speak for how others on this forum were notified. I placed my order immediately after receiving this announcement.
