Tony,
All of my swamp orders that I have, have been thru the company store, all in stock.
My Ak was thru the busse store, in stock and here in 3 days, the same with my skeleton key.
my skinner i got during an extravaganza, here in a week.
I only placed one real order with the old swamp rat ordering system. never got the knife. while the situation was partially resolved, it has never been fully taken care of, after years, which is why i do not buy from the swamp any more, nor go on the message boards there.
though i must admit that i fell for the axe!
when i get my fingers burnt, i look at fire in a different way.
