i ordered a criterion 26" varmint barrel stainless steel 204 gauge from Northland supply and at max they said it would be a 4 day shipment. very pleased with their service..
Ordered a 26” stainless 260 barrel from Apache. Been waiting a couple weeks as well.
I'm guessing you apache guys don't have a long wait as he seems to take only couple handfuls of orders at a time. Awesome

Well that is comforting to hear. This will be my first barrel from jim.
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.
Just got my Barrel from Apache yesterday. Wow! I can not wait to swap out old for this work of art. No kidding. I ordered it middle of dec, and got it middle of jan.With xmas and new years and all , well worth the wait.Its an excalibur for a Savage LRP .243 1:9 twist,26 "long and ss.Will be next tuesday before I can get it installed.

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/...psq9vymn7s.jpg
Ordered my Criterion 26" varmint from Jim at NSS in 6.5X55 yesterday. He had it in stock.
Waiting for a 223 AI from Apache ordered in Nov.
Got my Heavy Varmint 7mm Rem Mag barrel from Jim yesterday. Now to install it.
@Lightflight - Rifle looks AWESOME! Love the stock style and color! Good job!
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.
Looks nice! I even like the stock color which is rare for me!

I'm working with imr7828 and 162 amax. During barrel break in, with a clean barrel, it was shooting under an inch with 3 shots.
I'm over book max for powder with no signs of pressure. I hope to get some speeds soon. With the 28" bull it kicks like a baby.
