Just curious who else has barrel/s on order.
What do you have on order?
what was your projected wait time?
How long have you been waiting?

I'm waiting on a CBI Criterion barrel 28" 7mm rem mag.
I was told 16-18 weeks.
I'm only at week 10.

Apache wait times: Awesome.
Jim's quality of work: Oh my god freaking awesome.
Jim's price for this level of work and minimal wait time: What comes after Freaking awesome? Oh ya, now I remember...........only place to buy a barrel.

My first from Jim also, but after all the good things I read about his work I couldn't think of a reason to order anywhere else. Plan on ordering another when he opens up again.

Just Got a call from Brenda at NSS and my barrel should be here Friday the 12th which made it exactly and 18 week wait time. Just thought I would follow up and let ya all know.

I will post picks and then a review once i get things going and have some rounds down range.

I just ordered a Criterion 260 Remington match in bull configuration, large shank from Jim at NSS. It's a 28" beast. He had it in stock. Brenda called me to let me know it shipped Friday 12/12. Should be here in about a week. This is the second barrel I've ordered from Jim. He is a wealth of information and is always very easy to deal with. I'm still shooting my original .308 Shilen, I have about 500 rounds left before I change over. This is for F class, I cant wait to shoot something that doesn't take 30 MOA to get to 1000 yards!

PK, right on! I love my 260. I should be able to get things together in the next couple days. The 28" bull is a lot of barrel but I like it!!!

I have had a Brux barrel on order from Sharp Shooters Supply for months now and paid in full when I placed the order. I was told it would likely be shipped "before Christmas". Still have not received it. What's worse is I have sent several emails for an update and have not received a single reply. Last response from them was Nov. 22nd. Not sure what to do now as I have paid in full and they are now not even replying to my emails for an update. Your opinions are welcome. Should I continue to wait? Should I get my money back go with another supplier? Thanks for any suggestions.

Here is a picture of my tube screwed on. Just looking for some powder so I can do some reloading and send some lead down range. Gotta put the scope on as well.http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m545/lightflight/IMG_0799_crop_zpsq9vymn7s.jpg (http://s1131.photobucket.com/user/lightflight/media/IMG_0799_crop_zpsq9vymn7s.jpg.html)

Just placed a call to E.R. Shaw this morning to order a 30" bull profile in 6.5x55 for my 110 long range project build.
No idea of the wait time, but I'll be ordering a stock & bolt handle to keep me busy while I wait....

Ordered a 7mm WSM Shilen from Jim a couple weeks ago, the factory didn't have a blank available so it will be a while.
