Has anyone else ordered a barrel through them? About five months ago I ordered a shilen select match barrel from them. I got a invoice/tracking number so I sent the money via money order. Well its been a while and I havent heard anything from them, so I decided to send them an email. I haven't gotten back any response. I have also tried calling them but no one picks up. Am I being scammed or is this something as simple as them being on vacation and I am being paranoid?

If you call the uSPS main office they will be able to tell you whether the money order has been cashed or not.

20+ weeks for a Shilen is not out of the norm though. It has been that was for as long as I can remember, unless you were to buy one of the many prefits that Northlander has in stock and ready to ship.

I have got a few blanks from Jerry. He does the barrel sales on the side. I think he travels a fair amount. I will say that I never had a delayed correspondence with him. It has been a few years since I made a purchase with him. Luck with your new barrel, Tim

I guess I was just being paranoid got an email back from him this morning. Said that the barrel will be coming in 2 weeks.
