The holiday spirit sure left quick.
I've been waiting close to 1yr and 1/2...nada. I am not holding my breath... Lol
Naaa I'll pass. There are barrel makers making exact same quality. He is not doing anything magical, that's for sure...You should have let Butch order it for you!!
I guess I’m confused. There’s people saying that they have waited a year, sometimes longer and you’re saying you had barrels. Why were those customers not able to get a barrel? Maybe I should just look for a more reliable source for barrels.Because of this thread, my current stock has been completely depleted. Wait times are 2 to 6 months.

I have been a dealer for James for a couple of years. I have ordered about 150 barrels. i stock them, and people by them from me. I could have sold you a barrel at any time if you would have contacted me. Bullet Central is another dealer. He does not do the volume that i do, but he might still have something. As always, I sell them based on first come first serve. My inventory was also drastically reduced by the match outside of Lubbock TX (Cotton Boll). I always take barrels to the matches to save people on shipping charges. Keep in mind that I only stock the popular barrels like 6mm X 13.5 LV and 6mm X 8 HV, and a few others.

How often do you receive barrels? Every month, every 2 months, twice a year?I have been a dealer for James for a couple of years.

LOL! So, you tell a complete stranger to man up because you had a different experience! You are either really salty or some old fart with too much free time.
You have zero knowledge of the details behind my statement, but think you have it all figured out. You think that 3 months is reasonable. Well, so do I. How would you feel about 9 months on an order for 3 barrels? How about no reply to phone calls and emails for the purpose of simply changing the length and contour on one barrel?
Bottom line for me is that there are several great barrel makers out there, and life is too short to put up with that kind of customer service. FYI, I now shoot one of his 8 twist barrels, and am very satisfied....but I am also very satisfied with the 2 Krieger, one Brux, and one Hawk Hill.
This was not any disrespect to James' barrels . I wish him the best, but hope that he gets better organized, and maybe some help.
So, butchlambert, maybe you should get a few more facts next time, and don't get your panties in a wad.
Carry on.
