who here wants a Whitney Wolverine?

[Gibbs505]

Shame on you guys for not pointing out Olympic Arms carries them!

Hey, neat!!

 

[Mr. Friendly]

but I did, but I did point it out! what I still need to know is who in Canada sells Olympic products because their website shows Canada to be a barrel wasteland of non-resalers whereas there are many sites in the US.

I sent Wolverine a message to see if they'd look into importing them...that was last week. nothing since then.

well, Wolverine replied, but stated the paperwork and shipping costs would be almost as much as the cost of the pistol in the first case.

I have friends in the US...what would we need to do to have them purchase it and then send it up to me? no doubt they'd need to fill in some export papers and I'd need to fill in some import papers...what else?

anyup dates on the little gun?

Reid134, I suspect Olympic is just too small a manufacturer to try to do business in Canada. I used to live in their neck of the woods. They really aren't big, and it probably just costs too much to try for direct sales in Canada. And given the fact that the Wolverine never sold very well in its first go-round, they're probably going to have enough just to make the gun profitable. But I hope it does go well. The gun is really pretty neat (and if you take it apart, be REALLY careful about putting it back together).

I would like to have an original, the Oly, not so much.

One of my friends has one, it's a neat design. Getting parts is/was a #####, but if there are new manufacturers, perhaps that situation has improved. - dan

Dan -
I don't if it's true, but Oly said they will supply parts that will fit the old Whitneys.
