I decided to buy a Shiloh Sharps that was already built and ready to go vs. having a customer one made. I called and spoke with Lucinda about transferring my $250 deposit or contract which went inactive on 07/01/2024 to someone else. As the window to do so is getting shorter I'd sell it for $200 and you'd get to move to the front of the line vs. having to wait 1-2 years, and build the rifle to your specifications.

The Shiloh that I bought wasn't thru Shiloh Sharps, but a private sale.  The deal was too good to pass up and was close enough to the one that I was going to build with more upgrades than I could afford.  I wouldn't say I'm being a good guy, just trying to not eat the entire loss of the deposit.   

It's a good deal for someone that's ready to put in an order with Shiloh.

The contract says you can remain on the inactive list for 1 year, after that you loose the $250 deposit.  When I called Lucinda she didn't mention extending the contract beyond that.   

Considering the rifle I ended up getting with all the upgrades, at a lower price that I would've paid for the brand new custom built it made sense to eat the deposit, assuming no one is interested in picking it up.
