I was told this takes TEN WEEKS?!?!?!?! WOW that is a very long time.




Any competent smith can thread, chamber, crown and fit a new barrel to an action in a day.....many in 1/2 a day and this is with conventional equipment.....but you might wait for two months to get that barrel to a bluing tank!!!!!
