My PIF was 12/28/05, for straight 14-1/4" stock with splinter, DT, French gray, 3X black or claro (their choice). I have only called once, and was told in October or so to expect December delivery. No contact since then, but I don't expect to see the gun before Spring. If it's not up to snuff from a quality standpoint, I'll have my FFL ship it back to CSMC for a refund. I'll be out shipping costs and the time value of my money, but as gambling goes this seems like a reasonable play. If I haven't received the gun by August (20 months after payment) I will almost certainly cancel and move on.
