I got a Miquelet lock casting from Blackly a few months ago, took about a year and a half. Kevin was very quick to answer all my emails and explained what was going on with the order. When I got it though I was very happy. The quality was first rate. I recently called TRS to see if they had any miquelet locks in stock, they had three of them, ordered them all, got them in a week. Quality was excellent, some of the finest castings I have ever seen. She explained that they are still getting up and going after having to move their shop and build a house, she said they were basically closed for the past 2 years. She said if you want something, it is now about 6 to 9 months lead time from the foundry, depending on when they can put their order in. Point being with both these dealers, don't think you are making an order like from TOTW, both are dependent on the foundry's fill their orders.
