SWFA, what’s the deal?

[BRTreedogs]

Just out of curiosity how does the turret post on the 3-9 differ than that of the 3-15?

HD is a splined shaft. With a single screw in the center. All the screw does is hold the cap on, twist tension is on the splines.
Classics are a smooth shaft with tension screws around the shaft, and the twist force is from screw tension.

Gotchya, so it the post thicker or thinner than the 3-15? I’m just trying to figure out how the zero stop shims would differ between the two models other than maybe the outside diameter as I’ve read the 3-9s turrets aren’t as big.

Different I.D on the turrets the 3-9 is smaller, around .905 and the fixed 1.025

The 3-9 has a smaller I'd. Somewhere around .905 and the fixed have ~1.025

I swore i had/made zero stops for my last 3-9 maybe it was something I got at the hardware store.
I can't remember.

3-9 stop shims can be no larger than about .900" OD and no smaller than about .500" ID. Anything 7/8" (.875") OD with a min of 1/2" (.500") ID should work.

Tim Kulin emailed me today, he’s out of shims for the 3-9 but planning to do more soon.

I have a dirty little secret to reveal... mine was MOA.

I ordered the same yesterday, got shipping notification today.

 

[Schism]

I received an email today that the 3-9x42 I ordered on January 1, 2023, that was placed on backorder, shipped today. If anyone else missed out on the last shipment they may be in luck.

Same, I already got 2 from the same order and this will be an extra that I'll probably sell after I get it

 

[ChrisAU]

Y’all got me excited, but my backorder from 2/16 hasn’t shipped maybe soon

Kinda strange that a bunch of new SWFA scopes are available on Ebay. Even 3-9....

I noticed that , that’s SWFA’s account also. Not sale prices though.

Well that’s some BS with mine not having shipped yet.

Eh, it's bs if they ship them before yours and mine. I don't blame them for trying to land a sale while they catch up on shipping though.

I backordered a 3-9 on 12/11/22 and just got it a few days ago.

 

[ChrisAU]

Was told this morning that my order was still backordered, so I sent them the link to the eBay listing...

 

[Mtnmilsurp]

I got a product “back in stock and available“ email last week and immediately placed an order. It’s on back order…

 

[stevie]

I got multiple back in stock emails. Also got put on backorder when ordered.

Any luck with a response? I have a 6x on backorder and saw they had 9 in stock on Ebay.
