just an FYI.. if you want to wait even longer They now have Mosin Nagants for $99. http://www.royaltigerimports.com/shop.html#!/~/product/category=8555007&id=29960325
I finally got thru to someone at RTI... they are way behind due to the volume of the SKS orders they have to ship. They informed me that all orders should be shipped by the end of next week.
My order from the 7th has now actually shipped, not just a "should" ship email. It should be here next week.
I got my shipment e-mail today also. You get the broken stock option??? Can't wait. It's crazy to be this excited over a $200 dollar gun.
