    I was wondering what kinds of wait times you guys are experiencing from online vendors when purchasing firearms. I placed an order with KYGUNCO on 2/26 and they still haven't shipped it out even though they had my FFL on file. By the time the 22/45 I bought ships and I wait two months for MSP to file the paperwork I could be 3+ months into one purchase...

    I've purchased multiple items -- rifles, lowers, handguns, etc. in the past 3 months from online sources that needed to be shipped to my local dealer. The longest I waited was 2 weeks. Do you know if your item was in stock -- have they charged your CC? I've seen some places on their website come right out and say there is a 2-3 week delay in shipping.

    I purchased a Mini-14 from JoeBob Outfitters on March 5, they shipped on March 6, and I picked up from FFL on March 11.

    Palmetto State Armory has had more of a lead time for me, maybe around a 3 weeks from purchase date to receiving. Latest order was on January 9, shipped on January 23. That was ammo.

    I purchased .40S&W from Cabela's on March 5, it shipped on March 7, and I received on March 8.

    So I think the general answer is, at least for me, it's a crapshoot.

    I ordered a Ruger SR1911 from KYGUNCO on 2/24. It was listed as "in stock". It shipped on 3/11. My credit card was not billed until then. They stated on their website when I ordered that there was a two to three week back log on shipping. I was not happy about that considering the wait I will have once it gets here, but I have been looking for an SR1911 for over a year. I don't understand what takes so long to box them up and ship them out but I accepted their delay.

    Funny I just received my shipping conformation 5 minutes ago. So my order was placed 2/26 and shipped 3/13 not unbearable but definitely frustrating. At least I should be able to inspect the firearm and fill out the paperwork this week while I continue to gather .22LR to shoot. Shame I can't afford to shoot my 9's right now but should be fun getting a new rimfire. Last .22 I had was a bolt action when I was a kid I think it was a savage.

    Anyone else have a 22/45 lite? I bought the new one in black with the horizontal flutes. Plan on doing volquartsen trigger kit, compensator, and adding a red dot. Hopefully I'll work on suppressing it this year if $ allows.

    I guess I have been lucky. Every site that I have ordered from has shipped out my order within 24hours. Most of the time they have shipped my orders the same day.

    Natchez seem to be running about a week behind, my Cabelas orders have been delivered within about 3-4 days of placing an order. A couple of others I ordered mid Feburary and still no word at all.

    I have one in "jail" probably until mid April. Purchased on march 5

    So far I have a tac sol comp, tandemkross bushing, redwood burl replacement grips, and I'm waiting on a dawson fiber optic front sight. Can't wait to get the gun and dress it up!
