I’ve been searching for a Pedersoli Missouri River Hawken for a month with no luck. IFG, the importer (or one of them at least) told me that Italy was completely shut down for around a year and has had limited production since starting back up because of supply issues. They told me to expect a 9-12 month wait on an order placed that day and the best bet would be to get on the waitlist with one of the bigger retailers like Midway, Dixie, Buffalo Arms etc. because they’ve had orders placed for months and would be supplied before anyone else. Not sure how accurate this info is but it’s what I was told. Good luck and Happy New Year!Will Pedersoli Muskets ever be back in stock? Very few can be found new, and used is sparce. Covid must have hit them hard.

Well, I don't think it was actually covid that hit them so hard, but the "precautions" that the Italian government forced upon it's people. Shutting down an entire world-wide infrastructure was kind of an over-reaction to a respiratory infection that was really no worse than influenza. We'll be picking up the pieces for years yet.
It was the countermeasures, not the virus.The virus did hit Pedersoli very hard, some of it's migrant workers could not enter the country. Also Europe shuts down for a month each year to go on vacation.
I just received a 1777 AN IX French musket last Thursday from Dixie, I think I got their last one. I love it.I'm expecting a Brown Bess Carbine tomorrow from Dixie.
They've got some smoothies in stock.

We're all going to die from something.Not wishing to get into a ******* match, but tell that to the hundreds of thousands of people who died from it, and those left paralysed and disabled for life as a result of actually 'surviving it'.
Glad I'm not in the Pedersoli market at this time.
Do tell.If you think the price is out of line wait till you see what his shipping charges are.
