No, but I see one arms list port huron. New not fired. Located in Marysville. Don't know where in Michigan you are at but might be worth a drive.
 
They are supposedly discontinued but I've heard rumors that CVA might bring them back on a limited basis....just rumor though. I sold my first one and went back and bought the newer version. I almost bought the other newer version the store had at the same time so I'd have two. Still kicking myself for not getting the second one. It'll be pretty hard to get the one I have out of my hands. I love the gun for hunting. Never see used one for sale and I think that says a lot for what they are.
 
muzzle-loaders.com has the black/stainless ones that can be back ordered so means they are getting more.. here about 2 months or so ago they had them in stock when I checked.
 
Yes, keep us informed. I'd buy another if they started production again. I've checked the most reliable local source that sold them and they say they cannot be gotten so sorry.
 
After I ordered mine and received the confirmation emails, I received 2 more emails that encouraged me to order the optima pistol because they were selling fast.

Makes me wonder if they are trying to reach some minimum number of orders to trigger a production run.

Or perhaps they know how many they WILL receive from a new run AND orders received are close to that number.

Just guessing.
 
Got a call from them today that it will be April's special order run. I told them that was perfectly acceptable to me. Since I got rid of the one I had a few years ago I've been trying to get another, so a little wait time is no big deal to me.

Did they give you any idea how many they expect to be ordering?
 
Got the same call today and I’m fine with the wait.

On the other hand they charged my card 2 days ago.
Not quite as okay with that.

And a little more salt in the wound, I was informed that because I live in Massachusetts, they would only ship to an FFL. A recent change to company policy and I’m even less pleased about that. Massachusetts law does not require this. I’m a LTC holder, but it adds another $25 or so in fees. We have enough regulations without vendors making them up.

However, I’ll probably keep my mouth shut and eventually get what promises to be a fun range toy.

Yes the ffl thing would suck but I dont mind them charging me. I knew it was backordered when I did it.
 
I was able to order one a couple of weeks back. I was told they have 600 on order and expect to get them in April
