Need Help selecting a barrel...............

[1911man]

Nitride only added option. Email response from about a month ago said should ship in 6 wks....so maybe a few more weeks. Hopefully...

Wow, I really hope I dont end up out much longer. The website said 4-8 weeks and Mark told me over the phone closer to 4 so if I get to week 10 or so I will probably just cancel my order. I am at week 7 in my wait, I know problems happen but 27 weeks is outrageous.

HMM. Interesting. Unless he's hired a couple more people and has been working triples....i don't see how that is right. But i hope for you. A while back mark posted on here that a batch was fixing to go to nitrider, which would have been about week 10 or 11 of my wait. Guess mine didn't make it in that one, and i'm stuck waiting on the next trip?

I'm on week 14 waiting for AA 16" Lite barrel. Supposed to have them ready to ship middle of this month (fingers crossed). This will be my first Grendel so I don't have any experience with any other barrels/suppliers. My only advice is to order the barrel first and maybe you'll have it by the time the rest of the gun is complete.

Wow, I ordered one the first week of August and had it 3 maybe 4 weeks later.

Are there any other options for good barrels that are in stock? Lilja is out of stock as well.

[rabiddawg]

Have you called JP? From what I have read recently, they seem to have barrels in stock or a very short turn around.

I do not ever recall reading about a JP that didn't shoot lights out.

Just as an fyi......I am on week 27 waiting on my PF criterion. It is to be nitrided, so that adds a bit of time....but yeah.

KS183:

That is not a good sign. In the past when guys have had to wait that long, it meant the company never made the barrel.

You need to contact them and find out when you will get this barrel.

Good luck.....

LR, the last communication i had with them was by email, and was told it would ship in 6 weeks. Mark's sterling reputation is what is keeping me from being excessively upset at this point. After the 6 weeks, that may change.

KD183:

I don't think Mark makes his barrels from a blank. He probably buys them already made to his specs and chambers them himself.

There aren't many places I would trust to buy a rifle or gear. I do trust Mark.

LR,

That is correct as i understand it. I was curious, so i just went and looked......TOMORROW is 6 weeks!! Fingers crossed......

[LRRPF52]

Everyone I know that has ordered a barrel from PF, myself included, received it. It just takes time.

I have 2 sitting in my shop right now.
