I am very pleased to say that my second one arrived today in the big brown truck.
Life is good.
I called that order in on Friday June 29th and it arrived today, Tuesday July 3rd.
Apparently supply is better, although, also apparently, still no large number in stock, just keeping up with orders.
Yeah Rick,close to Mc greger range and White sands range not to far.When they let lose the bid stuff my windows shake.:thumbup: BTW,thanks for you're service!:thumbup:Skyhorse,
Do you live close to a Fort Bliss training range? I worked at a Range in New Mexico when I was stationed at Fort Bliss.
I have come up empty in my attempts to find the new 124 on Bucks website. Could someone post a link for me. Thank you!!
Mine came today but it's a little different.

I called the factory on Friday and ordered one under the Veteran's Discount program (the order taker said the discount was 40% and he didn't ask for any verification of my status). Price is $122.50 shipped. He said his computer indicated he had 'several' in stock and it would ship Monday (tomorrow).
Can't wait. I bought a 124 back in the late 70s and it was one of my favorite large blades. It was stolen (along with a number of other knives) when one of my duffle bags mysteriously 'disappeared' during a PCS move while I was in the Army, and I've been meaning to replace it ever since.
Those who have commented that Buck should make the 124 available through the custom shop - yes! I'd love to be able to order a version with nickle silver guard and pommel and white linen micarta handle. That would make a heck of a display piece!
