The Manou Bros are totally hit or miss. Sometimes you hear back, sometimes not. Mind you, I was one of their distributors! Nice people... The guns are great, and sometimes the deals are amazing... one gun I ordered, they had run out of beech, so they sent the premiere/walnut to the customer, and it was a really nice one! They are generous, probably to a fault. But beside my gun orders taking months longer than planned, I've waited up to a year for parts.
Cometa distribution will be changing, which is why you see the deals. Once it does, the prices will go up... but the support will be much better. But if you can get these deals, I'd take them... they are at or even below dealer cost.
No word yet on who is handling the distribution.
