Hey guys how long has some of yall waited on bfr to arrive at yalls dealers. Just trying to get a idea. I had dealer order me a standard 5.5 in barrel with bislegrip in 500 linebaugh on Feb 12. Still no word also went back and had him order me a 480/475 bfr with a bisley grip wit 6 1/2 barrel around 1st of March to replace my ruger 480 my brother in law is buying from me. I know probably take a little longer than norm to get with all this virus cured happening . But what's some of the normally wait time . He ordered straight from magnum research.

Wow. No way I could wait that long. When I order guns, I find what I want with someone who has it in stock right then. Then ship it to a local FFL. One week tops.

Was talking to my dealer a couple of days ago and he says that Kahr, the parent company, is closed down due to the virus....so you may be waiting for a while.
A few months ago when I was thinking about getting one of that exact model there were several on GunBroker...have not checked lately however...

Might go ahead and start reloading for your new pistolas and order your holsters. If only there was a cure, hope springs eternal.

Oh, how this reminds me of a prior time. I just waited the better portion of three years for a sixgun to arrive. Magnum Research and Freedom Arms have some incredibly reasonable lead times.

FA was down to three months wait time from the 18 they were a few years ago...
Last I looked they also had guns available in most calibers... There are also a 100 of them out there for sale on GunBroker, GunsAmerica and GunAuction...

Their wait times are up because they are getting swamped with new orders.

Good for them...
I would like one more...97/.327 4.25" Round Butt, fluted with black Micarta grips.
I know where one is...just haven't been able to justify it yet..

I just bought a new BFR today . It is ALMOST what I like but the barrel is to long . So it will first go to a Smith to have the barrel cut to my liking . I was not going to spend 3 month ordering when I can have it in a week with a little work .
