As far as I know, several year back, they went into full production, and the guns were everywhere, not selling, ads in SGN etc with them discounted to $1200 or so, and still slow movers, so, they cut back only to what was ordered.

Which is about 1000 guns per year, and year or so wait.

It might even be less, but The Last Cowboy edition by Talo in Aug/Sept. says they are being made, but only to meet what seems a very small demand.

Personally, I would rather have mine over new, because it is closer to original. And it seems many feel that way, illustrating that they made and continue to make a huge mistake in not making an accurate copy of the first.

It is almost too late now, anyhow, as the latest generations are not growing up with media celebrating the old west with shows and movies. They will not want one, either, especially at prices it would require, and most of the generation will never be as wealthy as the previous, the middle class being pushed into poverty.
