I've been looking online for a new replica C&B revolver for a while now, but all the usual suspects are on backorder everywhere - so I jumped on this never-fired example when I happened on it.
Evidently, the Italian replica makers have been shut down for the past 10mos due to the pandemic - which hit Italy particularly hard.
Yep, all the major distributors are saying the exact same thing...."Out of Stock"
Caps have gone through the roof on top of that!
Even DGW has gotten downright silly on both selling and shipping lately, although I did get a nice 1858 Navy in "Sheriff's Model" but it took right at five months.
It's just another sign of the times and nothing to get upset about....yet.
Although that time may be closer than many would like to admit, myself included.
On the last count, I had about 6 boxes each of #10 and #11's....I use a lot more 11's in my Uberti Revolvers than #10's, plus I use a good number of the #11's in some of my rifles too, so I just may be running on reserve with a dozen boxes, if ya get my drift.
Of course with my Rifles, I can always fall back on my Muzzleloaders if push comes to shove, but ya just can't do that with a C&B Revolver.
Have you tried the new SlikShot Nipples?
Early on the price ran me off, but taking a second look they may be just what we need in this day and time.
