What are the turn around times for the various companies that make custom Encore barrels...One might want to take this into consideration.... wow especially if you plan on using the barrel for a chance of a life time hunt...That barrel just might not be there when you depart...Some of the turn around times are way to long!!!!!!!!!
T/C custom shop took 12 weeks in 2006...Does anyone know if this is the norm for them or has the leadtime increased on Custom barrels since?
One thing for sure make sure you do all the ordering yourself...Do Not Go Through A Gun Store...I ended up waiting 24 months because the employee who was suppose to do the order quit or got fired...I think he wanted to pay the store back at my expense..
How about having to wait......24 months for a barrel...However I complained and the store did give it to me for free...they wanted to only give me a 10 % discount.I told them that that was not good enough since I lost 12 weeks....They were nice enough to give me the barrel for free...
