I’d guess that’s a fair assessment lol
But I’m covered for now, when or if it shows up it’ll sit on the shelf in time out

Preferred Barrel Blanks, Lead Time Longer Than Stated
- Thread starter VaderRubiconJK
- Start date
spartan rifles did my 6br. There prefit time is usually quick. I had mine in my hands in two weeks. First five rounds out of the barrel.
Got an update about 10 days ago that my barrel started getting processed and heard today that it’s a few days out
Yesterday received notice “your barrel is entering production”....after three months
Look for an email in 10-15 business days for another status update
Great....another two week wait
PVA and Kelbly will be getting my business for prefits
Messenger Precision will be my local smith for chambering blanks

Mine went exactly 7 days from "entering production" to "preparing to ship"
If it shoots I'll give them another shot at things. I do prefer to be charged when stuff ships though, not 3 months in advance.
I'd even be okay with a deposit but full price and wait is kinda

Got an email saying mine was finished yesterday. I could have gone and picked it up but was busy and will be getting it on Monday.Mine went exactly 7 days from "entering production" to "preparing to ship"

Guess we will see, no faith at all in their estimated times given
Would have been totally ok with a deposit or even 50% up front
So got my barrel Monday, went out and did ladder tests today with a couple different bullet and powder combos. Not that it’s any indication of accuracy and I didn’t get a pic of it but my 10 shot ladder group (.2 grain increase per shot) was hovering at around 1 moa which was cool. Again, not any indication of overall accuracy but pretty cool and makes me hopeful for some small groups with dialed in handloads! Will post more once I get some groups and handloads through it
Ordered barrel may 15 got the barrel yesterday (Aug 5). Haven't shot it yet but already may have any issue. It was supposed to be a 7.5 twist and that's what the invoice says, but the barrel is marked 1:7. I emailed them and am waiting for their response.
I'm new to this site. I joined because of this discussion about PBB. I ordered a PBB barrel on July 10 th. At that time, the delivery was guessed at 5-6 weeks(or longer). Seems they should have known at that time that 10-12 weeks would be more likely. Lemme do some math here 2x5=10 2x6=12 uh that's double their estimate. I saw the reports here and there about 1/2 moa and after seeing it might be 6-8 weeks I placed an order. Well heck if the barrel is really good I'd say I'll accept the later delivery.

BTY I've ordered a SS Remage barrel in 222 remington magnum (old and forgotten great caliber).
An older guy posted on Youtube his 222 remington 700 hvy barrel shooting really tight groups .2!!
.
If I can get that grouping I'll wait 4 months without calling them.
So what am I to expect ? Can I get a reply from those of you who got theirs?
Thanks in advance

After placing order. They emailed me when it went into production (about week 8) and again when it was finishing (week 9) then final shipping info ( week 10).
Thanks for your reply!
I am having them pull my barrel on my 1966 remington 700 222 and put on a remage barrel so head space should be no problem.
I'll check it! Anyway thanks for the disclosure
The big question!
Was the 1/2 moa consistent or was this a one in 10 tries group?
I'm thinking of getting that 6.5 CM soon!
Quoted 10-12 weeks. Ordered 7 weeks ago, received an email today that says " entering production". Looks like it'll make the quoted time.
Since the Jun-Aug vent/rant session, has anyone from that time frame received their PBB barrels? How are they shooting?
I ordered one during the last week of December and fully expect a 10-16 week wait and have no issue with that if the barrel performs. In the past 2 years, the 3 barrels I've ordered from CBI have taken well over their 10-12week lead time.
