Default Regal Revolution--Where to find one?

That vise seems to be a hard one to find and I am trying to find one in AB or BC. Anyone here seen them for sale in there travels by chance?

There was one at the fishing hole in Sept. not sure if they still have it. Perhaps a quick call. Only other idea is sourcing online. Not the greatest time with the Canadian dollar as it is.

By the way I tied commercially on a standard Regal Classic and loved it. Unfortunitly somone walked off with the brass base at the last Expo. Great hook holding power, one of the best vices I've used.

Great vise, but not cheap. Your best bet would be to ask a store to give you a price and time to bring one in. Most have a source to get them if they don't have one on the shelf.

Thanks guys, I actually found one in Vancouver at a flyshop I have dealt with in the past. Any other retailer would take forever to bring one in. The one I wanted was blue but will have to settle for the black one. I have had many vises but Regal takes the cake so I want the revolution now! Appreciate the help and pm's guys!

You can tie much faster on a blue vice.

Sorry I was trying to be funny not a jerk. No nasty intentions meant.
