Bartlein Barrels Extended Lead Times--

[Mark Buettgen]

Hey Folks,
The point of this post is to let all our friends know whats been happening with the lead times. Since last Oct., thanks to all of you, our orders have gone up 5 fold to record numbers pushing our lead times out to 11 or 12 months.
Currently we're running 2 shifts 6 days a week trying to meet demand, just 3 of the guy's last pay period totaled 153 hours O.T.!
If you have build plans, we ask you to be proactive and get your orders in as quickly as possible to get in the pipeline.
For you folks that are going to need something quicker, I would remind you that there are several Stocking Dealers that not only carry our products but many other needs like actions, stocks, optics brass, etc. as well. We're all in the same boat these days when it comes to back orders and short supplies.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Later, Mark Buettgen

I hope the buyers were smart enough to have brass on hand to put in all those barrels ‘cause there’s not any to be had right now.

Happy for you guys! Thanks for the message

make sure to pay attention to yourself and your health too, easy to get burnt when your pushing.

Mark, glad to hear your business is doing well. Are you worried about a hang over, if the current round of panic buying plays itself out? I know there are a lot of tool and die shops, and manufacturing in the West Bend area, so hopefully added your guys can easily move on.

I just received these .30 cal barrels today that I ordered directly from Bartlein back near the end of last August. In my opinion, they're not just barrels, they're pieces of art. Thanks Bartlein!!!

Y'all take care of your barrel needs and keep these fine folks busy...order well in advance, and order extra!
