cbi barrel lead time

[5spd]

They refused a batch of steel as it didn't meet their specs/requirements from the info I got when I called one time about my bbl.
I sold my 20p barrel after a week of breaking it in, (that was fast) shooting it on 2 p-dog shoots, then felt "un-impress" with it.
My .223 rigs do 100% better in the winds and making p-dogs spin in the air.
All that time I thought it was going to be the super cal I though of....nope!
ON to my next project...who knows what that may be.

Any current reports? Now that the bad steel batch and big move is over, are they caught up to a reasonable wait?

I am at 16 weeks today, which is what was estimated. No call yet, but hopefully soon. I'm anxious.

I'm at 12 weeks today on my 223ai remage.....I was told 12-14 weeks, I THINK.... I honestly can't remember. I guess I should settle in for the wait after seeing the other wait times. Mines a "custom" ordered 24" that's threaded for my can.

Got the call today. It shipped and should arrive Friday. Will b about 18.5 weeks total. Stoked.

I just saw this thread but ironically, I called Jim about the time this thread started to see what he had on the shelf. He had what I wanted (26" .223 1/8) but in a Wylde chamber. I figured I'd give it a try even though it wasn't my original intent. I shot it for the first time last week and it shot GREAT! Point is, give Jim a call and see what he has on the shelf.

For those that are still waiting for their CBI barrel please be assured that they are worth the wait.

I got mine in .204 Ruger sometime in the spring. I took it to the gunsmith and had him thread the end of the barrel for my HTG Aris suppressor before installing it on my Savage 12. If I was supposed to break it in or not I don't remember but all I know is that right from the get-go it was shooting half inch groups with anything that I stuffed in it. Sure not something the OEM Savage barrel would do!

Hitting 400 yard pasture poodles with it a few months ago was a snap. It really was. And because of the can on the end of it most of the pooches did not dive for their holes when I started shooting it. Matter of fact, none of them were diving at all but a whole lot of them were flying instead! Great combo! It got a lot more use this last June than either my standard .223 or my .17 Remington did.
