So I talked to satern today....

[mongoosesnipe]

long story short i have had a mid weight barrel with 0.750 gas block since may of 2012 i check in with them every once in a while just to see if there is hope

this time was different though kind of disappointing if i take a mid heavy barrel with 0.875 gas block i can have a barrel in 2 weeks if i want it to spec for my order it will be late December early January at best.... so basically never....

I already have a brownells 18", what would you do if you were me....

[lead chucker]

I would go somewhere else!

I would go somewhere else!

^ This!

Mark at Precision can get you a profiled Bartlein in a lot less time, I would bet!

[Slappy]

Call Precision Firearms!! BANG BANG!!

[cory]

I'd order a 11.5" Lilja barrel with us in the group buy. HAHA

Call Precision Firearms if you want it to your exact specs or you can check out Lilja and get one of their drop ins.

mongoosesnipe, I am going to sound like a reoccurring echo but I just purchased the core components for my Grendel build from Precision Firearms (Mark) and was truly impressed with the fit, finish and overall quality of what I received. Took 8 weeks for custom Bartlein with the works. John

Go with Mark at Pecision Firearms. You will be much happier.

[mongoosesnipe]

I am think I am just going to cancel the order it's not as though I need the barrel, the brownell barrel shoots great, and if everything goes as planed I will be living abroad for the next 2 years starting in January so it's not as though I will get to play with it anyway, when I ordered the barrel it was pretty much alexander arms and satern if you wanted a proper chamber with type 2 bolt at this point everyone is chambering barrels since grendel has gone sammi

2012???? WTF!!! What exactly is their excuse?

various valid excuses during market craziness and bolt shortage, but at this point it seems like there excuse is they dont want my business

[txgunner00]

While I have been very happy with the Satern barrel I have had for a number of years, it will be the only one I own. It seems to me their 6.5 Grendel customers are very low in their list of priorities, if on the list at all.

[shooter545]

Drop them like a hot rock! Lots of other choices as listed above.

[TacBlade]

Go "Proof Research"

Why cancel? You don't have any money tied up, at least I didn't. I ordered 3 barrels in 12/12. I got 2 of them last week and the 3rd maybe in December, who knows but I'm not worried. I've already have built one and it turned out very nice.

Anyhow if you really don't need the barrel keep the order and make the decision when you get the call from them.
