Repro LP08 holster/rig

Thanks, Steve - I called Sarco today to check on the status of my back ordered artillery holster/rig. After several busy signals I finally got through, only to be told "the back order lady" was not in today. Typical of Sarco, although they did send me a fine artillery stock made in Spain. They said they had found a few of the old repro stocks in a corner of the warehouse. That must be some warehouse.

CMR sent me an e-mail today with current prices: holster/rig $84.95, cleaning rod $35, and shipping $20. IMA offers beer barrel artillery cleaning rods (GG1200) for $5. Anyone know how IMA's rods compare to CMR's? Everyone seems to think CMR has the best holsters but CMR now says their artillery holsters are available in black only.
