Don't feel bad, I've been waiting since November. I bought a LRH for the wife for Christmas but it ended up on backorder. It was suppose to be here in January but the bolt assemblies had a tolerence problem I was told. Finally it was supposed to have shipped last Thursday. So far it hasn't showed. I'm hoping today is the day.

you would not believe how bad some of those cast bolts were so you are forunate they did not send you one of them...

You might a very lucky duck in all of this. You are probably going to get a machined bolt from Lehigh vs. a cast body from a mold. I know he has finished some and sent them to Knight. I think he is also building the machined bolt for the Mountianeer also.
