    Actually he did. And rather than take the risk with a back order he made a trip to get his from a store that had it in stock. I suggest you guys contemplating a suit read Dicks Terms and Conditions on Backorders.

    You guys got hosed. It happens. I would suggest in the future if your going to Backorder a Firearm you do it from a shop that is dedicated to firearms and has a history of delivering as promised. I like Ranier myself.

    If they have them on staff I would think they are paying them anyways. I am also certain they are able to cancel back orders for any reason they see fit. If you really think its a bright idea go to a lawyer and ask him to file suit. I know that wont happen. I guess I'd be a bit asshurt too if I didn't have mine sitting in my closet, however I wouldn't be so asshurt as to have it make me dumb enough to think a class action lawsuit would be viable. I understand he is new, but that doesn't alliviate the fact that he is posting nonsense.

    If you believe thinking isn't my strong suit feel free to prove me wrong. Seek out a lawyer who is dumb enough to attempt this on his dime. Otherwise people are just making uninformed posts and chest thumping over nothing.

    Your contrarian act is getting long in the tooth. It's especially so as it almost always comes on the coat tails of other posters who first make the points you parrot.

    As of now, you have no clue what a law suit might look like, whether anyone has a case, or any other shred of detail (like mitigating circumstances, which there are a few}. The people involved can figure it out for themselves. Lou offered the contacts. I'm sure the actual, non-internet attorneys can figure out the details when/if they meet with clients. If there's an up front fee, a person can simply decline.

    Look this thread is not intended to talk about a law suit, the ones who want to discuss a law suit go do it in another thread.

    I'm actually surprised Troy hasn't stepped up. Troys brand is gonna take a hit by proxy and they are stuck with product. If I was them if be finding someone to fill Dicks shoes and move these rifles.

    Nate, really dude, your more grown up then this. You have a full grown man beard. So keep this **** out my thread, I'm dissatisfied with how they handled the cancelation. I've carried my ass to the store, I have another AR I put together already, waiting on a BCG. Some people are ok with shitty service I'm not.

    I'm sure under contract with Dicks there's something stating that dicks is still liable for orders that have been completed or parts and other expenses, or I'm sure Troy will take legal action against Dicks.

    Did you read the terms and conditions for the back order? I agree the situation sucks. They do to that's why they gave you $100 extra dollars. After making a couple calls I believe Troy is trying to step up to the plate and offer the rifles at a similar price via another outlet. No guarantees but I would save your receipt bc proof of previous
    Purchase will be required.

    I get the indignation. I really do but what's your best possible outcome? Dicks admits they were wrong and fills your order? Ain't happening....

    One of the most important points in all this. You mentioned it in the last thread, who actually canceled?

    Many posts say it's Dick's, people who called and emailed. It's hard to imagine it's not Dick's doing, but there's nothing solid I know of?

    Troy's name should not take the hit because of Dick's idiocy.

    NM: I just read your other post.

    You are amazingly uninformed. When I was eating Christmas dinner yesterday(more like Christmas lunch), I brought this topic up. Involved in the discussion were two lawyers and a legal assistant. The unanimous conclusion is that dicks is a large enough company to have disclaimers on everything. They are also large enough to have their legal department check on these things before they do them. That it would be amazing to see anyone try to sue them, as no lawyer would want to waste his/her time on the issue, and no rational human being would be so stupid as to try to finance suit over a 800 dollar rifle.

    You're saying I don't know what the details would look like and you're right. I do know that I've spoken to people who have graduated from Loyola and passed the bar. I would go out on a limb and say that nobody here talking about suing them has done the same. Has anyone complaining read the backorder policy?

    First time I ever put some one on the ignore list, kind of like taking out the trash! Smells better in here already. Lol!

    Now back on topic, that would be nice if Troy steps up and does that Nate.

    I know they are trying the hard par is the price. Evidently Dicks planned to use these guns as a loss leader and hoped to make their money on ammo, mags, and kit for the guns. I think the premise was flawed from the start. I also think, and this is pure speculation, that they lost their ass on the initial shipment of rifles and that as much as morality played a role in te cancellation. Finding a big enough retailer to buy the quantities necessary and be willing to sell them at essentially cost is gonna be a challenge.

    It's funny he says that, while cursing at me in PMs. True man right there.

    No, but they all have experience with common sense.

    This is the only line that matters. "This promotional offer may be modified or terminated at any time without notice."

    you are an idiot.

    under that in print the same color as the paper its printed on it CLEARLY STATES
    "After cancellation the aggrieved party is encouraged to whine like a child to anyone who will listen then proceed to his nearest ambulance chaser to sue, like the people he claims are on government assistance"
