I ordered mine last week. Standard edition, 32" barrels, pistol grip, minus palm swell(lefty), 3x wood(recent change order), and sporting forend, with the caveat that if the "sporting" was too much(recent change order), I could revert to the standard forend. I don't expect delivery until April of 2010.
I've owned 2 SO3s and can attest to their durability. After many round the only thing that ever went wrong with either of them was a broken mainspring stirrup. Cole provided the replacement. I also have owned a SO4(integral bridle ala A-10) that has never hiccuped.
I predict that after the expected bugs are worked out, the A-10 will assume a place beside the perazzi MX8 & beretta SO4 as a mainstream target gun.
