Shiloh Rifle Forums

So I finally got my phone call yesterday!! Its only been a day but it feels like its been years, its almost worse than the 3yrs it took to get the phone call!!

So is this the same rifle you referred to on Nov. 8th as 2yrs, one month, 9days..? If so I'd say that's a far cry from three years. Just curious because I ordered mine in April of 2020.

ordered Oct of 2019....while out with my father on a buffalo hunt

I did look at the post I put 2 instead of 3yrs... sorry

So when you say you got your call....I'm not too familiar here...is that a call that Shiloh was starting your build or that your rifle was ready for shipment?

Shipment, also, Fed excise tax and shiping costs. If you ordered straight from them Id be suprised if you see it in under 20 months

Congrats, Matt,
This is, I presume the 45-2.4 aka 45-90?

yes!! I'm waiting for my approval from the ATF...I Always get delayed. Then I can get some pictures up. I did see it though and its perfect!

Hi , nice rifle I had the barrel mated on my last rifle also. I had ebony forearm tip.
