So as to not hijack another thread, I will answer this question here. I just received my Maverick 25 Sniper this week (I can't wait for the weekend so I can shoot it!). I ordered it at the end of February from Ken at SPAW. He said it would be about 30 days and it was about 30 days. If you go to his website, it says "call for availability". That's what you need to do. My guess for the reason the back order is so long from some of the larger suppliers is that each supplier gets a fixed monthly allotment from FX. The more popular sites (Utah Air, Pyramyd, etc.) get more orders so their allotment is grabbed up quicker. Call some of the smaller retailers like SPAW. I'll bet you will be able to get your Maverick, or Impact or whatever much quicker, you'll be supporting a small business and get great customer service in the process. My 2 cents.
