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.

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
JW9424 - I have a 26" vamint 260 barrel only its from mcgowen ... 260 rocks.
Apache wait times: Awesome.Originally Posted by Lightflight
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.
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.

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.
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!

Thank You!
It is now officially broken in. I'm still working on a load.
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.
