Order Time
« on: February 18, 2005, 08:25:03 AM »
Anyone put in an order through Ed's Contenders recently for a T/C Custom shop barrel?  Just wonderin how long it took you to receive the barrel from the time the order was placed?  

It's been about 5 weeks so far for me, so I would figure that it should be ready within the next two weeks.  I am just gettin' antsy!   :lol:

I have ordered the following from Ed:

25/20 & 32/20  20" Carbines.. both took about 4 weeks
.445 Supermag 18" carbine.. took about 6 weeks  ( i think, dont  
        remember this one well...)
.445 Supermag stainless 14" hunter....took about 5 weeks
.17 Mach IV 24" bull.....took about 6 weeks
32 H&R 9" taper... took about 6 weeks

Not sure, but I think when the custom shop builds barrels they try to do several in the same chamberings &/or calibers. If you get an order in at the right time, you may get find you get it a bit sooner than if you have to wait for them to tun that one again.

Have never had one take longer than 6 weeks so far, but when i called the custom shop last time was told occasionally it can take up to 8 weeks, plus ship time. Hope this helps.
