I don't have a phone number but he has been extremely precise and quick about returning emails and requests for info. Here is the original request link I have used. Hope that helps!

Resurrecting an older thread.
I am now at three barrels from Jim. Terrific barrels thus far and quick service. MY 250 AI is pretty close to shooting bugholes. A little more load development and it'll be ready to go.
This guy is top notch IMO and his customer service, at least to me, was A+.
I have a 25" CM .308 barrel on order. He was very easy to deal with and I can't wait to get it installed. If it shoots half as good as the customer service was, I'll be set.
+1 on customer service and support! Jim has been fantastic.
Yes sir, Jim is great. He does great work, and great prices. I have 4 barrels so far with a 5th on order and so far all are shooters.
Oops, I see this thread is somewhat out of date.
WyCoyote;
I brought it back up because I was pleased with the work he did for me and thought I should mention it.
What have you guys found to be the best blank to use on a "best bang for the buck basis", or is there really much difference in cost between mfg's prices/quality when just letting Jim do his thing?
Building a long range hunter in 06. May occasionally shoot gongs at 1000 yds, but no paper punching.
Jim has done 4 barrels for me, My 6WSM has been doing .25MOA on its last outing now that I am getting some loads dialed in. My 250AI carbine barrel has been doing 1/2MOA with a thrown together load, and my 444 Marlin Striker and 450 Bushmaster Savage barrels have both been doing MOA. The larger bores need some more load work up but still MOA with 300gr bullets is doing pretty good.
All mine so far have been on Green Mountain blanks and of course machined by Jim. Go with the Green Mountain and be happy. You might also ask Jim/Apache about the new blanks he is going to start offering. I saw on his website that he is going to start offering quality hand lapped barrels in lengths up to 32" in addition to the Green Mountain blanks. And as always he will build with any brand blank that you are willing to pay for.
