Terminus zues barrels

[Jadejade13]

Anybody know if there is a company out there that typically stocks QC zues barrels? Not really looking for a 8+ week wait time. Looking to pick one up pretty quick if Somone has them on the shelf. Have spoke with bugholes, also looking at a PVA barrel, any others?

Looking for zues QC 6.5cm barrel. Somthing 24-27” long. NOT carbon. Something heavy like a MTU/m24/heavy Palma/straight profile.

If anybody has any leads on a shop that has somthing like that sitting on the shelf please let me know.

Bugholes

Like I said in my post….
I already spoke with bugholes. They have a long wait time, which is what the post was about, trying to find one to buy WITHOUT a long wait time.

Proof prefits are stocked at some companies. They wouldn't be my first choice though.

Couldn't have thought of this 8+ weeks ago?

Super helpful input my man. And to answer your question, no. This is a from scratch rifle build, and not wanting to wait that long for somthing. If I don’t find anything within the next couple days then it is what it is and I’ll order one. But the point of the post was to see if anybody had one sitting and ready. If you have any suggestions that are productive please feel free to shoot them my way.

Bugholes just built me a 32" Brux 1.250 W/ Cerakote and it took them 5 weeks.

I have seen them in stock when looking for other stuff but never noted who had them. I have ordered all mine from bugholes and just dealt with the wait except for a few I found here on the hide.

Ya Iv been searching all the buy/sell/trade groups. Iv found some in other calibers. Or I find them in carbon.

Pretty sure PVA does a rush option for another $100 that will get it to you in about 2 weeks. I've got a PVA on my zeus, shoots great.

 

[Supersubes]

If you haven’t called evolved for one of their proof steel prefits, I’d do that. Paul is a kick ass guy to deal with, and I bet he can beat that 8 week lead time.

If you find a blank then @StraightJacketArmory could probably best that timeline. They may have some of their in-house barrels in stock as well.

I’d LOVE a bugholes, and may end up ordering one. But after multiple emails, the last email I received. This is for a 24-26” steel, 6.5 barrel. M24. From Bartlein. Would be 910& shipped. From krieger would be an extra 20$. And either option would take 8 weeks

I bet Eric at Blue Mountain Precision can do it and do it faster. He may want you to send your action to him but he keeps good barrels and is without question one of the very best in the business. He is usually pretty quick. I'd call him and see.

John Beanland if you from ship him a barrel can get it done in under 2 weeks. At least he did for mine.

 

[hairy_pineapple588]

drop ship a barrel from bugholes to John Beanland. He did mine within 2 weeks and had it back to me.

Literally a proof comp contour prefit. Cheap and the ones I’ve had have shoot excellent.

You have had good luck with these? How has the compared to custom barrels?

I think it's widely agreed that most are very good. Not quite where a custom Bart, kreiger , ect are though. Also, there's a chance it won't be great, which is extremely low chance with custom top shelf barrels. My proofs shoot very good, but they aren't bartleins.

 

[Jadejade13]

Went with a PVA 26” m24 prefit. Thanks guys. Hopefully have in hand here in a couple days

 

[Krob95]

I have. The proof prefit I had on my terminus and the Kreiger I had directly after it chambered by my gunsmith on my Impact shot the exact same load the exact same speed with identical groups and ES/SD. The carbon proof prefit 6.5cm barrel I had also performed the same. I think they’re worth buying. I know a ton of guys running them with no issues at all as well in a multitude of calibers ranging from 223 to dasher to 308.
