: Springfield XD Mag kits.....cancelled
Aces'n'8s 02-14-2008, 12:00 PM Well, I ordered an XD mag kit (3 magazines and another holder in a case) for $30 + shipping. I was told there was a month or so backorder. Fine. Well, mid January that backorder date moved to late March/April.
Yesterday, I get a call stating Springfield has canceled these kits.
I called Springfield and they said they produced a set number of these kits and told distributors/dealers when they're gone...that's it. Whereas, some vendors said that Springfield told them they were going to continue production and to keep accepting backorders.
Somebody ain't on the up and up....
Some bargain that was....
:mad3:

Of course, I should've checked with you first...
It sounds like someone, either Springfield or the distributors/dealers....ahem...miscalculated the demand.:shaking:
Or rather...Springfield saw that wayyyyyyy too many people were taking advantage of $30 kits....in stead of buying individual $12-$25 magazines.
Capitalists....:flipoff2:
aloharover 02-14-2008, 02:32 PM No I meant I am not the dealer that mislead you.
These are the same kits I was selling back at xmas. They are all gone.

I know...
I wouldn't even consider the notion that you would mislead anyone. :laughing: In my haste for $30 mag kits, I placed an order without contacting you first...but it was in January so you may have already been sold out.

MikeW 02-15-2008, 10:18 AM So if I read this right Springfield is ancipating a new ban and stopped production of high cap mags?
Doc Holiday13 02-15-2008, 11:02 AM So if I read this right Springfield is ancipating a new ban and stopped production of high cap mags?
No they just stopped production of the mag kits they offered
Aces'n'8s 02-15-2008, 11:04 AM So if I read this right Springfield is ancipating a new ban and stopped production of high cap mags?
Not necessarily.
Springfield supposedly produced a set number of these XD accessory kits (in a 9mm, .40, and .45) in 10rd and hi-cap (12rd/13rd) etc. which were then supplied to distributors/dealers.
Whereas, the distributor I ordered from said Springfield told them to keep accepting backorders as they were going to continue production.
CherokeeTerrorist 02-15-2008, 11:08 AM for those of you still wanting these kits try buds gun shop online, as well as gilberts guns. Gilberts were cheaper a few weeks ago but they have most, if not all kits in stock.>> http://www.gilbertsguns.com/Clips-Magazines/Springfield+XD+Kits
aloharover 02-15-2008, 11:14 AM So if I read this right Springfield is ancipating a new ban and stopped production of high cap mags?
No. For the holidays they had a speciall package deal. Hard case, mag holder and 3 mags. It was announced as a limited time only thing. The OPs vendor seemed to have missed that part of the announcement.
I did not save the flier I got in the mail, otherwise I would post it.
SA still makes the high cap mags.
