Yep. Same in Aus. Took 8 months to get a Kentucky pistol.The supply chain shortage isn’t just limited to within US borders…coupled with lingering COVID restrictions.

Any idea what types of guns are being restocked?Heard from Pedersoli today. The shipment to America has arrived and is being distributed now.
Last month (Feb 2024) the circuit board for my Frigidaire oven went bad. Replacement board is back ordered to early June. Yesterday, 30 Mar 2024, I saw a Pedersoli .45 cal Frontier. There were two in stock at Midway. I ordered one. When I backtracked in the computer to view once again what I had just paid for the ad showed not in stock. But when I later checked my receipt it showed order had gone through.FWIW I ordered a specific Pedersoli model in December 2021 that wasn’t then available in NA (but is currently), direct from Italy via IFG and it got to me in a little over 30 days.
My impression from speaking with them and the NA distributors is that, yes, the whole COVID thing and supply issues are (were?) affecting them but its also a question of ever fluctuating market demand equally effected by the same issues. And now we have the Ukraine thing doing the same thing.
They aren’t a massive conglomerate making thousands of all guns all the time and forecast sales of a certain gun type then crank up a production run of that model for the year then focus on another model and make a certain number of them for the year. If they make 500 of model XXX and they sell out before the next production run of them you now have a “shortage” of model XXX. If there is no/little demand and they (and distributors) have some still sitting around a new run of them may be skipped for better sellers causing a longer shortage till the next production run.
I have absolutely nothing in black and white to back up my opinion here and it was just what I gleaned and surmised in various conversations.
EDIT: As an aside, but indirectly related (maybe) I currently have a newish washing machine that I cannot get repaired, still under warranty, as they cannot get parts and have no idea when they may get them. Thanks Whirlpool.
Sounds like you’re good on the rifle.Last month (Feb 2024) the circuit board for my Frigidaire oven went bad. Replacement board is back ordered to early June.

I, even now, am distressed at not having the wherewithall to bake a Hungryman TV turkey and dressing dinner. It is hard enough to track down a dressing.Sounds like you’re good on the rifle.
Except you may be eating any hunted game raw.
Happy Easter. Sucks about stove. My wife would have said screw that and had Lowes deliver a new stove the next day.I, even now, am distressed at not having the wherewithall to bake a Hungryman TV turkey and dressing dinner. It is hard enough to track down a dressing.
Northern Italy got slammed early on with the rice rabies due to the direct flights from the affected area to there.I have read this before...is there anything to substantiate this?
I do not know this for a fact.Last month (Feb 2024) the circuit board for my Frigidaire oven went bad. Replacement board is back ordered to early June.

There was a guy who sold on Ebay a round 1857 Navy barrel and typed that he didn't actually have it. Some people paid money to him and then were astonished to find out it was backordered. In my case with this Midway order it is not the same. It is in the mail as I type. I lucked out. Maybe someone else simultaneously ordered the other and last one remaining.I do not know this for a fact.
But I am taking a very educated guess knowing how the shipments usually work for the IFA companies.
Most likely what happened is they knew that Pedersoli had them in stock and offered a deal. So when you ordered it, yes they technically did not have any in their hands but knew they could get some.
