Finally got my barrel from precisionfirearms.com 6 days after I asked the CC company to reimburse me.

I'll add that to the list of sites to avoid. Thanks for the update!

He's a custom maker so that usually translates to taking more time while one hopes it is worth the wait. I won't put him on places to avoid, he knows how to manufacture/build an accurate rifle.

My biggest issued was that there was an initial estimate of about three months, but it took 7 months to finally get it. This was the second barrel i bought from him. The first was delivered as promised. |

People don't mind a wait in so much as not knowing. |

PF makes good barrels, but he's chambering/reaming the blanks.
Their "imprecise" lead times are well known and the sole reason I haven't ordered from them. Good stuff, but you're gonna wait a while for them. |

If it's a well known issue, the smith should be letting buyers know and they can decide if they want to wait. That's just part of good customer service. There are a lot of high quality barrels out there that, at least in good times, are readily available. A 3 month wait may be worth it for a high quality product but that might not translate into the same value when you have to wait twice as long. |

Its why I looked elsewhere for my Krieger and bartlein barrels. Does good work, but his lead times are optimistic at best. |
