Oct 7, 2021, I ordered a Winchester 1886 lever gun chambered in 45-90. I have a Winchester “sharps” in the same caliber. I ordered the same lever gun from the same distributor, Cabella’s, in August. The same day I got an acknowledgement of my order. The next day, a new email informed me that they were processing my order. The following day their emailed popped my balloon by cancelling my order due to “out of stock.” The same order of events was playing out on my October order, but in addition to “we are working on your order,” a subsequent email informed me it was shipping from Idaho and should arrive in 3-5 days!!! I must still be background checked and wait 10 days in the brilliant state of Washington and I may die before I buy/reload ammo for it, but I can’t get the big grin off my face. Then I looked on E-bay for a stock butt ammo pouch (had to be all natural materials) no Velcro/elastic/zippers Tyvm for me and watched what I wanted sell out before I could complete my order. It was hand made by an Australian company, OP Original People, and I will haunt this site daily until that sleeve is back in stock. Expect pix when this project all comes together but the discerning viewers will notice the ammo is faked. I’ve had 45-90 brass on back order from starline since July and ditto 45-90 ammo in any bullet, HBP or smokeless, cowboy or modern loads as well. Just today I checked a dozen sites for large rifle primers, riiiight, and dont get me started on dies. Got a single-turret RCBS set up which may never see this caliber if my luck doesn’t change! Thanks so much for staying with me in this long-winded brag/whine. So here’s the prayer: know any one with 45-90 dies? I’d offer myself for various crimes in partial payment but I’d be bluffing cuz I’m too old for that. This is a great thread. See you again, soon I hope.
