If you want a new barrel, contact Douglas or Hart and ask them for a time estimate. I have two Harts and a Douglas and the estimate I got from Harts was 4 months, and from Douglas, 2 months. Their estimates were correct and I'm happy with the work done by both firms.

I've also had a couple of barrels re-bored by Clearwater/Delta, Cliff LaBounty's old outfit. The estimate they gave me was 4 - 5 months both times and they did the work within that timeframe. I'm happy with their work also.


Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.
