When I bought my Bbl blank from them for the 475 Auto Mag Bbl, I thought they told me the 11mm Wildey would be based on the 475 brass and necked down.
Which is what I thought the 357 Peterbuilt was supposed to be. But maybe not,,, gh |

On a side note about wildey guns, Here's another resurrection :
http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/09/30/wildey-guns-is-back/ (scroll down to read the comments) and their website is still up with new info about the "about us": Anyone heard about this firm called "USA Firearms Corp"

USA Firearms Corp is reviving the Wildey. They are finding the process a bit more problematic than they anticipated. Frame castings are supposed to arrive on Feb 17th. The tooling for the cast slides has been lost by that supplier so they are milling them out of bar stock. The other parts are ordered I guess from the 20 or so suppliers that the original Wildey Company used. They are waiting on insurance to start loading ammo. I talked to George Benedict last week and he would not give a date or price. Possibly 3rd quarter 2016.

And this is exactly why I cannot hold my breath on any New Auto Mag production.
Much work to do before any Auto Mags will be in gun shop display cases. Wishing them well, but its like waiting to hit the lottery, I am still waiting,,, GH |

They did add .357AMP to the cal. lineup right before Will's heart attack. I actually traded him a.44 AMP for one. Thought he might try to start making them again, but then his heart attack.

I have never heard of the 357 AMP in their lineup. I wish I could find one.

I don't think there are very many out there. Maybe we should start sending requests to the new co. for them.

I have talked to George Benedict who is one of the partners. They are going to concentrate on getting just the 475 Wildey's out first. Once they get that going, they will move on to other calibers.
Although the 357 AMP appeals to me having shot them, I doubt that it will be very popular. From what George said, I get the feeling that they are contracting most of the machining out. I really don't like the sounds of that. Is yours for sale? Is it the whole pistol or just a barrel?
