[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 832520, member: 35183"] I have not yet got a barrel from anyone in 16 weeks. In my case one was a Remington barrel for which a blank was supposedly in stock, so only threading, chambering, and crowning was needed (and head space). The other is a Savage Prefit which is machined complete at Shilen. Plenty people reporting 20+ weeks on CBI barrels, who make Savage and Remington prefit barrels. I have a second custom on order and I am sure it will be 2014 before I see it. Its hard to imagine so many people are buying custom barrels for bolt guns. I suspect the government is buying thousands or tens of thousands of sniper rifles and those contracts are keeping all the barrel makers running. [/QUOTE]
