About 6 months from receiving the gun and deposit, however I'm back on his backlog with a Colt and was told the wait will be more like 10-12 months,

So the longer it takes to get on the list the longer the wait will be.

Here's the 1978 Colt Steve built for me. I've had it back since mid March and have over 3000 rounds through it so far. I can't say enough good about working with Steve.
