I know they haven't shown any completed guns, but after all these years of work and thousands of dollars they took in, the Merwin resurrectionists must at least have a pretty big stock of new-made parts to sell off, right?

I think they were planning to sell off all the parts they had made, but someone misplaced the cigar box that they were all stored in  ;D

Well the Website is still running ( at lease it was easily googled) so I suppose someone (a student of PT Barnum's philosophy maybe) has paid the bill in the last year  :-\  Their Blog is dead though !

Truth is , none of us know how this particular Shell game is played or will play out.....

Personally, I think any parts were photographed then reassemble back into the Orginal guns they were from, either Merwin's or the Spanish Copies then sold perhaps.....

I'd hope I'm wrong, but I fear I'm not,  the Flim- Flam operation has duped the City of Glenrock, Wyoming not to mention the people that sent in the non refundable deposits.

NEWSFLASH  

Dated 12/28/07
Today we have an update.

Hello to all our M&H Faithful.

1)The first Serial number sold will be SN 101. First come first served.

2)All deposits will go to our accounts which are held with Bank of America and or our backup accounts at Wells Fargo. Both of these banks are as stable as any in the country at the moment.

3)Use of deposits: The deposits will go towards expenses relating to production,sales, and core costs, and NOT salaries, vacations, corporate jets, million dollar pool parties with playboy bunnies, etc.

4)When? Good question. I believe in being open and honest with our customers so do I have an X date? No, but 12 months is the farthest out we are looking at currently for standardized production. I am looking at a date much sooner then that, but I don't want to over-promise and under-deliver
.

This "honest with our customers" non-over-promise and under-deliver statement is fast approching 5 years !

PT Barnum indeed was right.

After all those years - you could've taken a piece of railroad iron and a set of Swiss Needle files and made your own...

Maybe they are now making magazines for Bren 10's and Tucker Torpedoes.  ;)  At least De Lorean left enough parts behind you can have a new one built if you really want one.

Not sure about OEM parts...but a Flux capacitor is backordered

 http://www.tfaw.com/Profile/Back-To-The-Future-Flux-Capacitor-Replica-Unlimited-Edition___337120

However you can get your Mr. Fusion here  http://www.feagz.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/bttf/fusion.htm

Now there is an IDEA !
 Backorder your Flux Capacitor and when it arrives , fit with the Mr. Fusion, on your De Lorean .... Go forth ...Oh! maybe 5 years
and see if the M&H has flooded the market by then .....  ;)

when planets align...do the deal !

Here's a better idea.  Go BACK and pick up some originals.  The best part is the you might not even have to go all the way to the 1870's/80's.  Just go to the 1950's and 60's and you could find them cheap before anyone realized what they were.

Won't work  ;)  the repo Flux Capacitor only is rated for time travel into the future  ;)

seems once you buy one ...you can only go forward in time or so the testmonials state....   :P

Yes and I will bet that it works on a ratio of 01/01!  I am starting to worry a tiny bit about the MH status but I think they are just having a bit of a delay due to the wood grips.

Do not give up hope guys, while at the indoor range yesterday I met a guy who was shooting what appeared to be a MH that looked brand new so had to approach him for a closer look.  Sure enough it was a brand new gun and the guy was super nice and answered all of my questions, though I am sure they were not necessarily the right ones.  He offered to let me shoot it all I wanted and acted really interested in my opinions.  The gun was a dream and the action was smoother than any pistol I had ever used, truely a winner in every department.  I asked what the price would be and was only told that it would be really high and if I had to ask, well, you know.  The guy was a nice looking young man and I first thought he might be a well known gun writer as he looked so familiar but, as it turned out, I do not know of any writers named Elvis.  It hit me that he may have been a radio talk show host, his voice was exceptionally smooth!  It was to late to ask by then because Elvis had left the building!
