Hey there Billrow, welcome to G&G! I've heard turnaround times of anwhere from 3 wks to three months depending on the backlog and how motivated the BATFE is. For places to shop, go to
www.shotgunnews.com and look at their advertisers section. The more common places are
J&G Sales,
AIMSurplus, your home for surplus ammunition, guns and firearms,
Classic Arms Inc.,
KY Imports Home Page and a whole bunch of others. FWIW, you can also pick up Shotgun News at your local bookstore or Wal-Mart. Happy huntin! Oh yeah, I believe Hornady is loading for the 7.35 Carcano now, take a look at
Graf & Sons - Welcome they should have it.
