Thought I'd share

Thanks to Bootsie , who toured the Uberti Factory.
He has sent me a Photo of the Richards Type II conversion, I've had one on order since February.

I'm sharing the photo because it also has the new Remington Conversion ... enjoy

Any idea when we can get our grubby mitts on those Remington conversions?

[Major 2]

Well , contrary to another post....

I spoke to them in July and was told another 60 days = Aug + Sept. = October ( I hope )
They are displaying them in Gardone and one was tested by GOTOW....

Figure August is vacation month in Europe 
This one is holding out that Oct. is the Debut 

We will see

LOL, every time a manufacturer tells me it'll be 60 days till I see a certain model, that translates to 2+ years. That's happened to me 3 times, now. I don't hold my breath waiting for these things any more.

exactly 

back in the eighties... I got a letter from Val Forgett

He was offering me a chance to get a LaMat.... I was to pay $100 pre-introduction and $250 when they were ready to ship.
Both my Pard and I , sent in our $100.
I knew Val and trusted I'd see the gun, when production & shipment were ready.
I don't remember the time table, but I do remember it was a year or more.
By then Steve (my pard ) had some money crunch issues, I sent in the $500  ($250 each shipped) and paid Steve his $100 to buy him out.
I short order I owned numbers #469 & #660.... They were both Cavalry Models.
I kept and shot those for 10 years and watch the price rise to over $600 each for a new one.
Both were in very good shape except I had lost one of the removable shotgun rammers, when I sold them to finance another interest.

I won't hold my breath, but I keep my fingers crossed...
