[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 24565, member: 12"] Do not know about Boots quitting or why, just know that getting a barrel from him has always been a 1-2 yr wait especially if you wanted him to do the work on the gun. Clay Spencer does not have a web site but he is in Scotsville VA (434) 293-6836 and fax is 293-6836 also. Think he has tooling to make and machine the really long barrels also, I know my first one was 1.875 tapered to 1.5 and finished a little over 30" in 30 cal 1-10 twist. His prices are right there with anyone elses and decent delivery time. For example a finished straight 30 x 1.75 is $385. When you compare that size to others it is same pricing. My last one took about 4-6 weeks to get to the gunsmith. I spent a day in his shop just lookin at what and how he does it with barrels and guns. He lets anyone airgauge any barrel they want to bring in and compare to his and I never saw any of them close to his tolerances. The barrels he is building for the Delta guys at Bragg are 18" heavy barrels. Their armors install and final fit and doing .5 MOA with combat ammo they claim. They were impressed enough after testing all the barrels they could find from every mftr, that they gave him big $ to expand shop and buy more tooling to build a certain number of barrels for them each year in calibers they specify. He is pretty **** good at 1000 yard rifles too. Builds a lot of winners. Just my opinion, but for now he is my first choice in new barrels. BH [/QUOTE]
