Still waiting!

Post by PeteB » Thu Apr 15, 2021 2:37 pm

I ordered a Big Boy Silver in 45LC back in January 2020 and I've just been told it will be another 6 months before I am likely to see it! I know we've had Covid19, fair enough and then the USA had an election and every one started buying guns - so much so Henry stopped international orders. But another 6 months!

How long would you wait in the USA to buy one of these?

you must do what's right for you .... for me, I'd rather wait for one I really want than to spend money on something that isn't what I really want

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

My 327 took 12months or more to get my hands on here in Aus and that was pre covid.
Decided I wanted one as soon as Henry added the chambering, contacted the Australian Henry importer and asked if they would be bringing any into the country. They informed me they had no plans to but would happily do so if the received orders from licenced dealers. Put a deposit down with a dealer and the wait for it started.
Son was lucky he found the 44 in the model he was chasing in stock with a dealer 12 months back. I dont think the importer has had any model of Henry in stock for over a year. Hasn't been limited to Henry there are similar supply issues with just about every manufacturer so much so that second hand firearms are bring almost new money.

The same can be said about the Good ole USA. ;)
Been temped to sell a few but so far I've managed to resist the urge.
