Man I'm getting pretty anxious at this point everything seems to be taking three times longer than quotes. I understand when the buy in is going the timeframe is undetermined. Its just hard to get over the same answers about production time/status every time. I thought they said ALL the Grendel barrels would be pushed through together since they had to remake them for the recall.
My pants have a growing ant problem..

"The 20" Group Buy and 12.5" replacement barrels are all now out to nitride. At fastest speed, they are back at Faxon this coming Thursday and shipping by the 4th after laser engraving, QC checks, packaging, etc."
Then this update means barrels should ship at the end of THIS COMING WEEK (not holding my breath):
U P D A T E : Phoned Nathan and he says these 20s are about 1-1/2 weeks out.
Something's up... lack of priority for the order, lack of manpower to get it done, problem(s) with the barrels discovered, something... my last group buy with Faxon for sure.Last edited by Bowhntr6pt; 09-24-2017, 10:52 PM.

I'm not concerned, I figured early on that the time estimates given by Faxon were more of a best case scenario than anything. They will be ready when they're ready. That said, I'd much rather companies gave honest answers instead of placating buyers with unrealistic estimates. Much better to just say "it's too early to give an exact date, likely sometime in the next 2 months" or some such thing. On the other side of the coin there are always a lot of people who will complain about that so whatcha gonna do?

It does not take 2 1/2 months to do what was indicated back in July unless there is a product, labor, or motivation issue... several times I was about to pull the trigger on the 18" GB, glad I didn't... I'm going with AA for my 18" barrel wants.

Sweeeet!
I already had a desert trip scheduled for next Sunday to shoot steel at distance with my Satern 18" and hand loaded some XBR 26 & 27gr with Nosler 123gr HPBT for testing.
If it all works out, I might be able to compare the two or at least get some rounds down range through it!
Thanks again for the efforts BFT.
