Rock Creek Barrel #6386351 04/08/12 Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 43 Bay County Florida P primo OP Campfire Greenhorn OP primo Campfire Greenhorn P Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 43 Bay County Florida How long does it take to get a Rock Creek barrel? I ordered mine in Oct of last year. I have called twice in the last month and they tell me the same thing "almost finished." Just wondering if this is the norm.

They told me the had a bad run of .284 barrels that delayed my barrel. Seems most of the custom barrel makers are running 6 months or more right now. What are you building?

I ordered in December and am still waiting as well. I know all those industries are slammed right now so I'm expecting it to be a bit longer yet. NRA Life Member

I think it depends on what you order. ROck's pet barrel's are .308 5R's, thats what they are known for. Mine took a little less than 3 months as did my McMillan stock!

All of the big barrel companies do military barrels. Some do them for the manufacturers also. I love my one Rock Creek. Last edited by butchlambert1; 04/09/12.

Rock said worst case 4 months delay.

I thought the stock from McMillan would be the delay. I have all the parts ready to send to Robert Gradous. Thanks for the info guys.

The do enough to cover their orders and a few extra. If you miss, it may be a good while before your bore size comes back around.

I say good for them... but I hope this is for NEW orders and they are going to try to stick to times they quoted for past orders. I'm already at 10 weeks from a quoted "roughly 4 weeks" from another supplier
