Author Topic: Factory turnaround time for new barrel (Read 611 times)

Anybody get their rifle/barrel back from the factory lately? What's the current actual turnaround time?

I mailed mine Feb 8 USPS Priority. They said 4-6 weeks and I've already waited a month. Jeez I can't wait!! I sounds like folks here order barrels all the time, somebody has to know the current real time frame...

Month and a half for my 17 hmr barrel.I also had the transfer bar replaced due to being broken and a trigger job done.

The factory received my receiver on 2/3/05. I called this morning and they told me my action and new barrels were shipped back to me yesterday. I can't wait!

depending which barrel ( if in stock) and how busy they are it has been known to take up to 8-10 weeks. :eek:

I ordered the 357 magnum and 12 gauge Tracker 2 slug barrels. I would say the turn around was pretty good. I also had them lighten the trigger pull as well.

Mine was right at 6 weeks, sent it mid January and got it back last Monday.

It took me a day or 2 shy of 4 weeks to have a .357 Barrel fitted and get a factory trigger job last Fall. From what I have been able to get from recent posts it's taking about 5-6 weeks right now. Just do it!!! The longer you wait the longer it is until you get the gun back!!....<><.... :grin:

I've been thinking about a 280 barrel and a trigger job myself. My problem is I only have one Handi. If I send that in I'll be gunless! Since that's unacceptable, I think my only option is to buy a whole new gun.

A sacrifice I gladly make....I've mowed my lawn 3 times in the last month, the past few days we've seen 65-70° daytime temps with sunshine and few, if any clouds, all day long....too bad the rifle range is only open on the weekends, what a waste.... :cry:
