If you are going after the Batson line up why not go with http://www.utmostenterprises.com/utmost_001.htm
They are right beside batsons so there shouldn't be a back order issue and shipping is reasonable.

not to detract from the original question, but... I've ordered from them and had a great experience. Bought one blank from them and IIRC shipping was less than $15 =D> if/when I need batsons I will be calling utmost. Again Get Bit is most likely a good store, I just like to stick with people who have been good to me in the past.

Update: just put in an order for a new blank and all the components. Not only are the prices lower than competitors, but shipping was only 12 bux! Cant wait to get my shipment. Thus far i have experienced great customer service from Kevin who made sure that I had all the right sizes for my components.

Just made a purchase last night and they good prices and a great customer service base. I ordered a dryer, some metallic thread, a reamer and a few other oddball items to finish up some blanks that I have been messing with. Very positive experience so far.

Good to hear 5lb.
Update, had to purchase a few more components, and got everything yesterday. Going to give my builder everything tomorrow and should be all done in a week! Cant wait! Will really try hard to post pics when everything is done. I am really impressed by this blank, not only is it a beautiful gunmetal silver, but it is very strong with just the right tip action for heavier plastics. :big grin:
