Bartleins Barrels

We live in a free country. Business come and go all the time. John Kreiger and his company have always strived to provide a superior product on a reliable timely basis. As much as I like competition I hate seeing his company loose quality employees. John bailed me out of a jam last fall by getting me a cut rifling hunting barrel in 3 weeks. I will not forget that when I order a cut rifling barrel in the future. There are two other cut rifling barrel makers who have had my barrel orders for over a year. I also use button rifle barrels and the companies I do business with generally get me the ordered barrels in about 10-12 weeks.
I wish the Bartlein folks well. I also hope John Kreiger is able to continue providing cut rifling barrels at the same rate and at the same quality he is known for.

Rusty--the current wait time for a Krieger is over 6 months and I LOVE
his product but when Speedy gets his 6.5 and a 6mm then tries them out I may just have to try them out. During a telecon with them a couple days ago I was told that the 338 tooling will be up in the short term so that may be my first.

I just ordered yet another 6mm from Krieger today and the lead time is still only 12-14 weeks. Was it for an uncommon caliber that they only run infrequently?
Last time I looked, Bruno's had a large inventory of Kriegers in stock--two or three pages worth of all kinds of calibers, twists, and contours if I remember right. Depending on what you're looking for there might not be any wait at all.
BTW, only once has Krieger not sent me a barrel in the estimated time. That was when they busted what turned out to be their last .20 caliber reamer. However, they made a special run of .20s and only missed by a couple of weeks.

Isn't this kind of a Wisconsin tradition?
I thought I remember both Krieger and Stallman used to work for Boots, then spun off to form Krieger and Badger barrels....
