Got the call last night. 23 weeks to the day, all should be here on Aug. 7th. With any luck it will be together for my Aug. 17th match, I still need to fit and finish the stock then find a load, so now the fun starts.
Thanks Jim.

Froggy - Ditto for me; I'm expecting the barrel on Monday and it's been 23 weeks. Good luck with it!

I didnt keep close track because I was afraid I would drive myself crazy but I made a mental note of August or first of September and it came the first of August so I would say they are a little ahead of the stated lead time.

I finally got the call that mine will be here on Monday after 31.5 weeks. I'm sure it will be worth the wait...

If I don't get a call by Friday I am thinking of selling all the parts and the new 111 300 mag donor rifle and getting a Rem 700 5R in 300 winmag. Shooting time is running out for me, my travel schedule ramps up next month through March next year.

I must hold a record at 36 weeks and still waiting... and for a simple .308 barrel at that! I've long since given up on the build and sold the action it was going to go on. I just need to get the barrel so I can sell it and recoup some of the money...

Why not call the vendor and cancell for a refund. Their fault not yours shouldn't be a problem.

I've not pushed it since he normally stocks 26" barrels and this is a 24", thus making it a "special order." Typically special orders are non refundable, and in the times I've explained the situation to them, a refund has never been offered. I ordered it before the price increase, so hopefully it comes in just when someone is all fired up to build a 24" 308 and I can recoup most of the cost. fingers crossed.

That's strange... I just got my 24" 308 barrel yesterday. I waited 32 weeks for mine.

I'll be the jerk.

I got mine in just over 4 weeks.

26" 10" twist Varmint 30-06.

I think I just got lucky in the timing of CBI's caliber cycle.

My 20x45 CBI SS select bbl just arrived, sweet & smooth along w/a NSS action wrench.
9 mos total, due to CBI moving and having a bad batch of steel.

I ordered a 300wm 28" bull on 7-8-13. Jim said approx. 16 weeks. I plan on forgetting about it and letting it be a surprise! Should give me time to save for a nice piece of glass.

I got the call last Friday from Brenda. They(2) will ship to day. I hope to see them on Thursday.
I ordered in March, but I had CBI use my reamer to cut the .243AI and that slowed things down some. The two I ordered were a .243AI 1/8 with my reamer and a .204 Match 1/11 both 26" and in the light varmint contour. I plan on working up some loads after this weekend.
I will show pictures later.

Tell me about this bad batch of steel?

It actually happens more than we know about, they do there testing to insure the steel behaves the way they want it to and occasionally it doesn't.

I have a metalurgist buddy that used to work for Winchester.
