I have a friend in Alaska that is looking for barrels for his Encore. Thompson keeps putting him off by adding 6 months on every time he asks when he is going to get his barrel. He finally told them to forget it. He would like to find a place to get barrels without the 2 year wait.......any ideas?

SSK Industries, Bullberry, Match Grade Machining, et al.

Thanks for the info, I'll let him know....TAP

My pleasure.

McGowen say they can do them as well.

What does he need? I have a couple I am going to sell, a 15" .223 and a 15" .260 rem. Both are good shooters, they are late 90's production.

Bergarra Barrels of Spain is the new kid with goods to deliver in popular calibers... if that suits him. Mike Bellm [bellmtcs.com] raves on them. Ed Shilen supervising??? And save a couple bucks too if they have what you want. Luck.

also look at reedercustomguns.com

Also look at OTT LLC out of New Hampshire. Great barrels.
