I inquired early in November as to my 10-12-05 order, was told "that it has just gone into the shop, you should see it in 3 to 4 weeks, please fax your ship to FFL". That was 6 weeks ago. Thankfully Grouse season is open till the end of January. Christmas is almost here, I have a new pup due in about six weeks and the wife wrecked the car Monday morning. So I'm preoccupied, but when February rolls around there had better be a new RBL in the safe or it'll be canceled and put towards something else. Even if I do manage to actually receive this gun, I'll certainly never buy sight unseen again. A Cole Special....not a bad idea ! Merry Christmas everybody !!
