Last month, they had it....wait for it..... IN STOCK!!!! The nice lady on the phone must have thought I was an idiot as I came off like that was not only not my expectation, but it couldn't be possible. Took about five days from phone call to doorstep (Texas to OK).
I was going to say 6 months, but the above poster.... cutter heads and case holders are usually in stock. I believe it is a one man operation and the Doug ? Giraud has a regular job. I would suggest just ordering one, I waited and waited for a used one to pop up, and they usually sell VERY VERY quickly. Probably the BEST piece of equipment I have in the reloading room/man cave. Great product.

Trying to decide between the Giraud and the Henderson at the moment.
You know what's funny, it was that anticipated wait time that made me put it off for so long. I'm not very patient and putting in an order, whether they charge you immediately, or right before it ships, drives me bananas. Going through that now with the Co-ax.
I like the Henderson stop screw idea. Seems like you can't go wrong with either.

I ordered one last week and they said April 12 would be the time around that it went out.
I’ve ordered from Giraud several times and am always impressed at how nice she is.
Mr. Giraud is a very lucky man.
Prepare to be impressed with the speed of trimming/chamfer/deburring. I got one on a whim (looked neat, so said WTH, why not?), and after receiving it, asked myself why I hadn't gotten one sooner.
And yes, his wife (I assume) who answers the phone, is the sweetest person to deal with. Reminds me of childhood memories of rural Texas (Valera or Hereford for example).
^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^
Sadly I waited a few years to purchase one, but I finally pulled my head out of my backside.
I ordered this morning as well.
My suggestion for anyone that is undecided is to order it! You won't be sorry. I bought mine because I was tired of trimming 1000's of 223 and 308 by hand. I still trim a few calibers with other methods but the volume stuff goes through the Giraud.
When I get set up I can trim at a sustained rate of about 16 per minute. Oh, you fumble a case occasionally or encounter a case thats longer than the rest and it breaks your rhythm but its pretty easy for me to average 16 per minute over the long haul. And I can maintain .001 in length.
And no, I'm not associated with them. Just a happy customer.
And yes, the Lady that answers the phone is very nice and She really knows their product line. I think She is the Wife, but I'm not sure.

Ordered mine last week and I’m in the April 27th slot. I’m local so I’ll go over and pick it up.
Mine took 2-4 weeks last year. I love it. I need to call them and order a cutter head and a couple case holders.
I have both now and would recommend the Henderson solely because the caliber changes are a breeze....no adjusting blade, etc.
Mine was about a week and half. Love it.
My buddy just got one this week. Took about 10 days.

I totally agree. I have been re-loading for rifle competition for over 15 years and the Giraud trimmer is hands down the best reloading tool I have ever purchased.
Let’s put it this way, if my house burnt down and I got a massive insurance check, I would absolutely buy that trimmer again right away. I can’t say the same about most of my other reloading tools.

Ordered mine the 5th and it was shipped yesterday
Any reason its between those to? Curious on your thoughts is all. Thanks!
Speed and precision really. I ended up with the Giraud. Just easier on the budget right now
Always a strong reason lol!
