[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2441838, member: 116439"] We may. Being a Barrel Dealer means that you have to put up a lot of equity to keep barrels in stock. There are so many different barrel Blanks and barrel manufacture along with calibers. Years ago I could call a manufacture and ask for a barrel blank in a certain caliber and profile and get is within in days or a week or two. Now There are so many large Retailers & Gunsmiths that getting a barrel from a manufacture is three months to a year. A small shop that does quality work has a hard time putting up $25-50K so a small inventory of barrels. That another reason why it takes so long for a GS to make you a custom rifle. It's not because you are at the end of a waiting list for a barrel to be turned on a lathe. It's because the GS can't get the parts needed. We have over a dozen barrels sidelined just for our own shooting rifles for comp. You will see a new tend now when someone needs a rifle chambered the person buys the barrel, the action, the brake they want. They are even purchasing the Reamer they want whether it is a SAAMI, Wildcat or Custom Match. They do all this because if the have these components and give to a Good GS, they can most likey have their rifle chambered rather fast. They also have the mindset that their chamber will be cut with a NEW reamer and not have to be worried or concerned that the Reamer used by the GS hasn't already do 40 -50 barrels, cut.
