I had my receiver at the factory getting a 12ga barrel fitted when I heard that they had some of the TDC barrels ready for the accessory program. One call later and an extra check sent their way and my order was changed for me. Well, now shipped from the factory on Wednesday and I made the huge mistake of getting the tracking number. So even though it is a sin for me to do it I have been going to the UPS website to watch it's progress. (I work for FedEx so the keyboard burns my fingers each time I type up.., Up...., ...ps, Oh heck, you get the idea)

Well, needless to say I am on the edge of the seat watching this thing make the slow trek across the US. Now I go in there this morning and it left Knoxville last night and made it to Memphis this morning so it is within about 20 miles of home! So close yet so far! Ugh! Waiting is such a hard thing to do! Monday can't come soon enough.

All good things comes to he who waits

Or so the old saying goes...but I know that doesn't help a-lot

So I'll tell you what my dear ole Grandmother used to tell us when we were kids..." Don't wish you life away... Monday will be here soon enough...and then it will be gone..."

Have fun with the new barrel...

Hang in there buddy. I feel your pain.

Well it came in so now I am the proud owner of a Topper Deluxe Classic barrel. Mine came in with 3" chamber. I was hoping for the 3.5 but what the heck I am still happy with it. The only thing I didn't care for is they had to put a new forearm on my gun to fit the new barrel. I installed a Hastings choke and it looks great! Hopefully this weekend I will be able to get out and shoot it some.

Thats fine Turkeyhunter, I trust they sent you back your old forearm also?....<><.... :cry:

They did include the old forearm that was stained to match the stock. I don't think it will take more than a few minutes to make that one fit. The lockup is really tight on this gun. Maybe even just a little tighter then I would like so I have some work to do on it to be ready. My father in law also has a barrel on order. He would like to figure out a way to mount a red dot on it but I don't know if I will do the same. If I had more time before turkey season I would get this new barrel's forcing cone worked on.
