FINALLY got my 35 Whelen

[jim36]

The UPS man walked to the door with my 35W This afternoon. My heart nearly stopped. Why, it's only been almost 10 months since I sent it in for a new bbl., and of course a trigger job. JB in the bore and cleaned up real nice. When I sent it in, the trigger was 5#13 ozs. I checked it with the gauge and a snap cap. Quess what? The trigger is now 5# 13 oz. After 10 months you would have thought they had time to do the trigger. I guess I'll call them and ask for a shipping label. What's another month or two??

Do your own trigger job, it is quit easy. The directions are explisit enough.

Fred.   That was the first thing that crossed my mind. I guess the principle thing is that they should have done it there, since I requested it. I just got off the phone, and they are going to send me a shipping label. I will definitely do the next one here at home. Thanks for the reply.

Congrats on the new barrel, bout time, eh!! That also means the new Whelen production has started. 

My suggestion when ordering trigger jobs is to put a tag on the trigger guard so at least the gunsmith will see it even if no one else does.

So if I'm understanding correctly, they are gonna start making Whelens again, and offering accessory barrels without special order?? If so, cool!!!!!!! I had to sell my Whelen a while back, and I wish I never had.

That was the plan as of Dec '09, keep an eye on Bud's, Mississippi members should see complete firearms first.
