I haven't had a Dixie Gun Works catalog since Turner Kirkland was in charge, and that was a couple of decades ago. Since I am now retired and somewhat newly acquainted with my Pietta 1851 Navy steel .36, I have been earnestly seeking info about C&B relvolvers. You BP folks here on TFL and other BP forums have been an immense help.
I digress. I ordered a DGW catalog exactly one week ago and expected delivery time was 3-5 weeks as it would be shipped bulk rate.
USPS must not have much to do these days. I have, in my hands, said catalog.
My Dad used to get a yearly catalog from DGW back in the 60's and we would take turns poring over it. Funny, but he never had a BP firearm and loved reading it.
The new catalog is just about as thick as it used to be and at first glance it seems very much as it used to be, except Turner's mug is not in any of the pics. (His Grin!).
If you want one, pay $5 for it with no shipping (bulk rate) and you will probably get it (maybe) in a week this time of year. Forget about paying $2 for express shipping unless you just can't wait a couple of days.
