I haven't bought any Gottleib EM legs in quite a few years and have picked up a few games lately. I noticed 31" legs are out of stock everywhere. Is this a never to be seen again part like lock down bars or a temporary supply chain issue? Snagged a nice used set at Pinfest.

Steve at PBR suggests his supplier cant get the raw steel stock... One would think that they'll get them back eventually? 6 months at a guess.
Ive now taken the desperation step to get some old sets replated back to a nice chrome finish, at a cost of $25 a leg. Ouch. But I need them for my Wizard project.
Been wondering the same thing.

Quoted from pinhead52:Talked to Steve today and he suggested he's getting closer. 28 1/2s will get done first (Stren put in a big order) and then 31s. My guess is 4 months
For those here who have asked, here is what is now left after dealing with others so PM me if you see something of interest.
One brand new set with new style threading one new lightly used set with conventional threading, one used set that should clean up good and three single legs.

Talked to Steve Friday. Manuf is currently stamping them out... I guessing a month? He did say he put in for a double order...

That was wise. I'll be ordering a double order myself.

Im sort like 5 sets myself... I'll see if I can pick up a batch at Allentown. Expect to see $20 a leg...
Quoted from MikeO:It's only $18 a leg when you spend $100
Not a problem, I guess. 8*20 is well over the limit.
Quoted from EMsInKC:I placed an order last week and specifically asked Jimmy about legs and side rails. Reply was, they've been ordered, when they come in, they don't know.
They're also out of 7/8" locks.
Hopefully they ordered 27-1/2" legs too. I'm short.

I just got "in before the lock".
Needed two for a customer's game, but only got one; the last one.

Hoarder! Good thing I saved all the old locks off of the last 50 restores.
Quoted from TwinDavid:PBR has 31" and 28.5" in stock (?) Non ribbed, but they have them.
and Steve promises 27s by year end...
