I have a letter on an early Savage 1899, and it took 14 months from the time it was ordered to be shipped from the warehouse.
In the period of transition from Marlin producing the lever gun.... back to Savage, can't help but think there were some guns that weren't assembled until Savage got up and running. Creating a delay, of God knows how long. Ya'll know more about this than I do, I'm just a beginner.
Like gnoaah said, money will get you anything !! Calhoun said all when he said "never say never".
