There are quite a few over on EBAY. Sounds like it will at least be a sure thing rather than wondering if it will ship. The S&W Forum and the Colt Forum both had nothing good to say about the hopes of having the original company ship. One guy recommended this company and said he had no issues. h...

Pre=COVID, I purchased a 12x20 Amish Built Shed with the high roof and a loft. I picked it up as a REPO and only paid $4000 plus tax with free delivery. I honestly dont think you could touch that shed for less than $8000 now. IMO, the 8x40 High Cube Container would be an excellent bargain.
