Schrambo/andrewtac, I just replied to your messages. Been a little busy with some complications concerning Blake's surgery. No medical issues, thank God, just some scheduling difficulties (to say the least). It's been a very frustrating couple of weeks but nothing that we can't deal with.
At this point, the 14.5" will go to whoever provides payment first. I've had quite a few ask for it but I don't know of any fairer method than to keep replying to messages with payment details and committing it to the first buyer to commits payment. I'm going with the same policy for the remaining 10.5" barrels (although I have a few more of those). I'm being very clear about the expected shipping time for the remaining barrels and apologize in advance for the inconvenience but, in the grand scheme of things, the wait for these last few is going to be significantly shorter than for those who committed early.
I'm planning on getting the next group-buy kicked off on November 15th. I have a few questions that I need to run past Lilja concerning twist, length combinations (we can keep costs down by going with length combinations that net multiple barrels out of a single blank), etc. There will be predetermined quantities for the next run as well. This will help shorten the amount of time between the kick off and final shipping date (the last batch ended up being significantly larger than expected so it took longer). In the last GB, the 12.5" and the (late entry) 16" were both extremely popular so those will be my initial targets. I'm not positive how that will "combo" out of a blank at the moment but will find out. I'm also thinking 1-7 twist this time around instead of 1-8 but, again, will know more after spending some time talking it over with Lilja.
Thanks again to everyone for all the support and, please, get out and throw some lead downrange or spend some time hunting. Do it for Blake and me who, sadly, won't make it out to hunt and/or shoot for at least a month or two.
Rebby, I am in on a 16". I am assuming these will by Hybrid profile in polished stainless? I know you not even announced the new buy yet, but when I saw the "proposed" date of Nov. 15th, putting my placeholder on the list
