Snowpeak Trying to be patient. Anybody recently get a m60b in .25?

For some reason, looks like Snowpeak is having issues with production. I'm in the queue now waiting on an m60b. I always get a little spooked with the supply chain seems to collapse on an item. Is it lack of raw materials? Recently discovered quality issue? Manufacturer apathy?
Has anyone gotten a recently built m60b in .25? How did it shoot?

You should ask your supplier when they expect the next shipment. They may hesitate because they only have an idea, not a firm commitment but their guess is better than ours. Most shipments seem to be by sea and they've switched to the long way around Africa due to issues in the middle east. But the supplier will know something. I don't think makes a lot of shipments so they seem to be fairly big but when they get sold it can be months until the next delivery.

Yeah... I'm way ahead of you on that advice.

I'm only trying to find out if anyone has received a recently manufactured m60b and if they were satisfied with the product. It appears there is some limited inventory in Europe, but not so much (zero? ) in North America. Just seems odd to me that SnowPeak inventory has pretty much dried up world wide. My vendor of choice will be Wes. Hoping that the quality from SnowPeak holds. I'm trying to be both patient and not spooked.

No, SPA isn't having issues making the M60, they are focused on making the Zelos right now and the M60 has taken a back seat while they fill orders for them.

They inject a run of M60's every now and then but that's not communicated to the dealers.

The Zelos is a new release, it has much higher sales right now and with Christmas coming, the factory is in full swing making Zelos currently.

The M60 and parts will come but it's not the new kid on the block so it's going to wait a while.

I don't know SPA's manufacturing plans but I know that when I bought my first P35 from Krale I got a 25 caliber because that was all they had. That was in October of 2021. I waited impatiently until late May of 2022 for Krale to get 22s and 177s. That was before the shipments started going around Africa. I waited almost a year for a barrel for my P35-25. There are good things about SPA but getting you what you want quickly doesn't seem to be one of their strengths. Airgun Archery Fun website says late November or early December for their next shipment.
