What happened to Loyalist Arms?

[CS]

Looking at their past inventory list http://loyalistarms.freeservers.com/listoffirearmsavailable.html
It is mouth-watering.

Miquelets?! escopteas, snaphaunces, not to mention wheellock long guns.

Curious what happened to them. (and ... sad I got into this hobby an era too late).

And whether there is any store in North America that still maintains such an illustrious inventory still?

Is it that their product list is smaller or are they not responding to e-mails? Curious to know myself.

I wonder if it is both. I've tried to call them multiple times and emailed, but no response so far. And their website does not seem updated since 2016.

But I don't have real insight, and would be curious for others more knowledgeable.

I ordered a Sea Service pistol from them, which they claimed to have in inventory, and they responded to all emails before and after purchase, and they banked the check I sent. Delivery time was forecast to be three to four months, so I still have some time to wait to report on their follow-through, but they're definitely still in business as of when my check cleared about a month ago. Their product listing on their website is known to NOT represent what they're currently able to deliver.

Just wanted to share with the community, in case others find it useful.

Had a lovely chat with them over the phone. They are still doing their careful and beautiful work. But after covid some people left the business and others retired. the owner is doing the huge work of 3-5 people, so the mechanical work has a bit of a delay compared to before covid, corroborating the findings of @wiscoaster that there is a 3-4 month latency while they finish work on the order (as they get their guns from India raw and they put in a lot of extra work). But their stellar reputation should still be maintained as before, small delays aside.

Long story short they are still going strong and I had the pleasure of making an order with them!

Thanks for the follow-up.

No, no worries. I'm convinced of the vendor's integrity. And if I'm wrong, no big loss. I've lost a whole lot more on speculation than this one purchase. I only speculate when the probabilties favor success. And my pre-purchase research indicated probability of success. No, no affect one way or the other on my respiraton rate, which remains, pretty normal.
