BHW current wait time?

I'm about the same you would think they would get the replacements out ASAP they were not right from the start. Barrel makers what you going to do?

8-12 weeks is pretty standard in the industry. Sometimes the wait gets bumped back if they get a big order from larger companies. That has happened to us a few times over the years. Barrel mfg's like to do as many in one caliber as they can before setting up for another caliber. Can be tough on clients.
 
Ordered from Ritch on Feb 3, 2017, received from BHW Apr 26, 2017. 22" 204 Ruger chamber, HBAR like profile, 5/8x24 threaded muzzle, machine finish. Barrel looks good, and the upper is assembled. Now I have to move a scope off one rifle, to this one, for testing. Range report when I get that done, and the monsoon ends.

I might have to put pontoons on the shooting bench!

Good to hear I have a 204 that I ordered on 2/12/17 so hopefully mine will be here soon.
 
Buddy of mine just got his shipping notice Thursday, it was just under 5wks. I'm waiting on a Grendel barrel, hoping since I ordered 2wks after him, I can get mine in 2wks from now too.
 
Ordered a BHW .264 LBC Barrel and bolt first week of Febuary. Got a shipping notice it will be here on 5/2. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.

I called for an update today after waiting 8 weeks. My barrel is still at "chambering", then after that add a week for blackening, then add another week for shipping.


How was your barrel shooting as for groups.. Mine is all over the place.. Tried different scope, Powders and bullets today and the best my barrel would do is about a 1.5 group and nothing touching.. My son has the same barrel and was ordered the same time and arrived at same time.. His is a tack driver and mine is complete opposite.. Dan

I got 2 22 inch 20 practical barrels.. One just shoots beyond phenomenal I am talking 4 into one hole almost and the 5th one just a 16th away from that group.. Then this one that is giving me trouble shoots like a worn out barreled rifle.. Dan

The Faxon pencil barrel is incredibly light. I thought the shipping tube was empty when it arrived. I almost feel like I'm gonna break it.
