Along with the shortage on components, the wait times on barrels is ever increasing.
When i originally ordered my barrel from Shilen i was told 12 weeks.
I got an email yesterday stating the barrel finally shipped. At the 18 week mark.
E.R. Shaw's sight is stating 20 week wait. Up from their normal 12 weeks.
Friend whom i shoot matches with ordered a barrel in June. I forget who he uses. But was told March - June next year.
Some of the barrel makers do have some barrel blanks ready to ship.
But smiths are busy & running behind right now also.
If you have one at home, then fire up that lathe!
