What happened to 45 Bravo?  Last I heard a month ago, he was doing some 601 duckbill FHs.  Never heard back, and not answering emails now.

That was the main problem.

He was in possession of people's barrels for months, even over a year!  He would make up excuses on the rare occasion that he did respond, and post info on how busy he was. Did everyone get their barrel work and/or at least returned? Last that I knew, (might be lacking info) some people got their barrels back with the work not completed.

I received my barrel from 45Bravo and was very pleased.  I believe he simply fell into the trap of accepting more work than he was able to complete in good time.

It's very easy to fall behind when you do good work and word gets out.  You don't want to lose work so you take an order and it adds up quickly.

the problem wasn't really with how long it took, but the lack of communication during the time he had your stuff...and when you did hear from him, it was only to tell you that he had other personal stuff to do, so your project wasn't done yet

I know in my case he worked on a slip over moderator for 8 months, and I only heard from him about three times, despite my monthly e-mails to him asking about progress. The finished product was nice, though not exactly what I wanted,  but it was close,  and I wasn't about to send it back for modifications.

I would just send it to Adco.There is no way I would send it to 45 and I think it will be a while before heatnbeat starts taking work.

My 45bravo barrel assembly was very nicely done, although very late.  You can't go wrong with ADCO, though.  I've used them quite a bit since Randall went tango uniform.  Very nice work, very professional, stuff usually back in about a week.  Check out the crown on this barrel they shortened:

I would like to say that the moderators that Brick did, looked as good as a colt and better than my mass produced ones. The NFA ones I did were the best looking ones I did and are comperable in my opinion with Brick or Colt.

ADCO until Heatnbeat's back at it.
