Re: Guess what I just ordered...

This has been a strange one for sure, for those who missed it:
- Spring 2019, ordered a low wall 45 Colt from Cimarron
- Cimarron didn't supply them anymore due to low demand
- asked my dealer if he could get one anywhere else, he said he could get from Taylors
- Taylors showed 1 in stock, but did not have it
- Taylors said they could order from Uberti factory in Italy, delivery Sept 2019
- my gun dealer said no problem he had to renew his import license anyway so timing was fine
- took until January 2020 for him to get through all the paperwork and hoops for licensing through Ottawa and Washington
- my gun dealer is ready to go, calls Taylors and they didn't get any Ubertis, just Pedersoli 45-70 hi walls which I can get if I want one
- no thanks, they are one ugly rifle, and don't want 45-70
- flu hits and Italy goes on lockdown in Feb 2020
- now nobody can get anything moving anywhere
- waiting, waiting
- I happen to be on Dixie Gun Works site one day and see a Uberti hi wall in 45 Colt
- my gun guy can't buy from them, suggest I buy it and have it shipped with his Cimarron stuff
- it's now July 2020 when I buy it from DGW
- it ships to Colorado to catch his exporter shipment
- the stuff leaves Colorado in mid Sept 2020
- arrives in Calgary Alberta last week
You can't make this stuff up. Sure hope they shipped the right rifle...
