Build time
I am just checking what the normal build time would be. It is an 1874 in 45/70 without any special items. I ordered it in March of 2021 with a notice in August that it would be in the next build cycle.

Re: Build time
I'd bet on picking it up by April fools day..makes a good road trip. If a guy lives in a state adjacent to Montana it is the way to go...bobw

Re: Build time
We drove from Colorado both times to pick up mine. Felt like Christmas when I was a kid.

Re: Build time
I wish I could just drive and pick it up, but I am in California which is a bit of a drive and then I have to have it sent to my FFL and then have to do paperwork there and wait 10 days before i can bring it home. I love living in the People's Republic of Kommiefornia.

Re: Build time
My1877 is in final assembly it’s been done in mid grade English Walnut and AA finish I will be picking this one up myself. I am only 250 miles from Big Timber all interstate if I choose I-can pick the best day weather wise between now and then . Not sure about taking it out on public land in February but I will have what I need with me should the opportunity presents it’s self.

Re: Build time
I drove up from Sheridan, WY a couple of weeks ago and picked one up, then did a short tour. Last time I was there was in the late ‘80’s. It sure has changed from then. Didn’t het out to shoot it that day but I made it out to the local range a couple days later. I was not disappointed!Randy Bohannon wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 7:02 pm My1877 is in final assembly it’s been done in mid grade English Walnut and AA finish I will be picking this one up myself.

Re: Build time
I spoke with Shiloh yesterday and the indicated mine should be done in about two months. I hope that is right.

Re: Build time
Whee! I received the phone call from Shiloh yesterday and my Sharps is done and ready to ship. I gave them my cc information and it should be here early next week. I then have to go to my FFL and fill out the paperwork then wait 10 days to bring it home as I live in Kalifroniastan.

For all you guys "crying" about your wait time, I waited 7 years for my first Shiloh!

Re: Build time
I finally did the paperwork at my local FFL and I get to pick it up on March 6th. It will be 4 days shy of two years since I ordered it (March 10, 2021). I also bought some 45/70 ammo from the gun store and ordered two boxes from Buffalo Bore ammunition. The 45/70 will be a bit expensive to shot.
