I think he is a little busy at the moment. (New shop or equipment I think) He called a few days ago to verify my address for shipping a barrel back to me. He has always got back to me promptly. I'm sure he won't leave you hanging.

Well, It's good to know that he is still around.... I get nervous when I don't hear back from people. Especially when I know that they are normally prompt. I think I am getting around delivery time on my upper. Can't wait to get the .204. It'll be fun to shoot.

What did you end up getting in .204? I emailed him acouple of days ago about .204 barrels.

He cut an threaded my 16 SL barrel last weekend. Got is back and put together a really sweet EBR

BTW, his workmanship is exemplary

What are his prices like? I am curious about getting a custom upper made.

I got an e-mail from him around Thursday, a few hours after I sent him my e-mail. I think he said he was out of state on business.

edit-Oh so he was at a 3 gunmatch? I guess I ASSumed he was there on business?

I'm on week #8 of a custom build from him. As of 3/15 he hadn't started on it yet. He was quoting 8 to 10 weeks for custom builds, so I'm just now getting into the time frame. With a shop move in between, I'm guessing it will be beyond 10 weeks before I see my upper. Custom stuff usually means waiting....

At least my Gemtech HVT isn't here yet. Then I'd REALLY be anxious to get my upper!

I got an email from him today. Barrel wasn't in yet. He quote me about the same. I should be in about week 8 also.... Oh well from what I have heard about him. It'll all be worth the wait.

I emailed him last week about new address and he got back to me in three days....his prices I feel are reasonable, from what I have seen.

I'm really glad to hear that he is still around. I was thinking about emailing him tonight to see if he made any progress on my barrel.

One thing is for SURE -- None of you better get a complete barrel from Randall before I do. It has been in "the works" way longer than any of you.

I have been very patient and I sure hope that it ends up being worth the wait. I plan to do a web page and full report of the project and barrel results.

Recent schedule and why no responses:

March 9-12 SMM3G match, Mesa AZ, dialup internet at night, rarely heard the phone ring.
March 13-14 spent working in the shop.
March 15-20 spent in Texas, shooting with friends, sporadic email/phone while in Houston.

I am now back home and busy as all hell.
Rather than spend 1-2 hours every evening lurking here, I have been WORKING, imagine that.
Just because you don't seem me here posting, that does not mean I skipped town...
I'm just busy.

Just a heads up, April is going to be more of the same.
My regular day job has me out of town from the 17th to the 30th.
Email is always best, but responses will be slow during that time as well.

3 Gun match, wearing new AR15barrels.com T-Shirt, which is advertising and therefore both "business related" and a tax write-off!

Hi Randall,

We traded a few e-mails a while back about you cutting and threading a 9mm barrel for me. I just have a couple questions. What is the turn-around for something like that?

and, would I send my entire upper or just the barrel? (do you do a function test of some sort)

If you would rather me send you an e-mail rather that hijacking this thread for my own purposes just dont reply and I'll get the hint.

Thanks

Caught me just before bed...

I try to do quick jobs like shorten/thread within days, but sometimes it takes a week.
I prefer that you pull the barrel if you can.
If you don't have the tools and don't want to get them, I can do it as well, but there's an extra charge accordiingly.
All this is on my services order form you should complete and include with the barrel.

No function firing unless you specifically request it and that's usually just for gas port work.
Your 9mm barrel should be blowback and function does not change with barrel length.
