Gunsmithing Lead time on barrels
- Thread starter 1 mile
- Start date
I'll add:
Ordered a Bartlein in 6.5CM today...5-6 month lead time (and won't charge your card until it's shipping)

Ordered a barrel from shilen today and they said 2 to 4 months
to add...check with Greg at bugholes.com. He carries about six brands of barrels, keeps a great inventory and is easy to deal with.

Bartlein, Brux and Kreiger are all 3mos plus, depending on the contour you want.
Douglas's air-gauged barrels are excellent. Kind of a sleeper company, but the benchresters know what's up.

I've done a LOT of business with Douglas Barrels over the years having grown in the Charleston area just a couple miles up the road from their shop. They run a tight ship and their barrels (and workmanship overall) are first-rate, as are all the people who work there. I send folks their way all the time even though I don't get in there much now that I'm a couple hours away.
If you are in need of a quality barrel from a fine outfit...they'll take good care of you!

I've gotten barrels from Greg too, those guys are good to go. No waiting if they have your barrel in stock.
Thanks for the heads up! Been looking for a barrel without the wait.

Three weeks is not a long time for a custom barrel, i.e., 375 cal with the taper that you want, and the twist rate that you desire...... If a barrel is "in stock" no problem; however, if you are having a custom barrel done three weeks turnaround time is reasonable for most custom barrel manufacturers.....
Krieger 10 months
Brux 4 months
Rock 4-300 weeks
Mullerworks 4-6 weeks
Obermeyer 4-400 weeks
Bartlein 6 months
For those of you who are looking, I've been hammered with excessive orders which has left my shelves "empty" for almost 2 months. I've got hundreds of barrels coming in now, from all manufacturers. Sorry for this delay, and I appreciate all of your patience during these times but it takes 2-3 months to recover from unusual spikes is sales. Should have 200+ barrels coming in within a couple weeks. In addition there are lots of stillers inbound and our first batch of Defiance actions are in transit

200+ barrels is good news for us looking to outfit our next build!
Here's to hoping that is the reason for my year plus wait... Greg, you got any 7 twist .224's coming in rem varmint?
no sir, 8tw is the fastest Im carrying as of now. I must say there is a tremendous increase in interest in 224 barrels...
