I talked to Rock just now, and they said they were running 25 caliber barrels next week.
I placed an order 9 Apr, so that's less than a month. Assuming I get one of next week's barrels, that is. Rock talked like I would.

Called them yesterday, they'd probably get more done if we would all quit calling them  , and 22 caliber barrels will run in a 'few' weeks. So their 14 week estimate was about right on for me.

They make good stuff. There is a reason there is a wait time.

Of course, I had a valid reason. My credit card was hacked and I "HAD" to give them the new number immediately. Didn't want to "HAVE" to wait to give it to them when they said the barrel was ready! I mean, they could give my barrel to someone else when my old credit card declined, right? Because they wouldn't, you know, call me first?

Buy a Brux bbl. I ordered two bbls two different occasions and they arived with in the day Iordered them. 1st was a 7mm 9"twist 8weeks 2nd was a 6mm 8" twist 10 weeks. Both makes are cut rifled bbls. Brux refused to do a skinny stainless barrel. That's why I ordered 2 Rock Creek Mtn Rifle contour S/S barrels a month or so ago.

My 12 week barrel took 9 months. 30 cal 5r palma. great barrels and worth the wait but i would have preferred that they managed my expectations a little better.

Are you saying Rock Creek doesn't do their own lapping?

By no means, they just told me finally lapping is not performed at that location. I am not concerned where it is done as long as it meets their standards.

My x-mas order was billed to my CC today. I'll take that as it's on the way. Now for the short wait at Beanland's shop for the .243AI to come to life.

PN quoted me 18 weeks on a rebarrel I sent to them last month. Just to get more current wait times.

I ordered my .30 caliber barrel on December 27th and I've not gotten it yet. On April 12th, they said it would be a week.

I've ordered several Rock barrels in the past and experienced same. I will never order another. They are great barrels and I love them but will no longer deal with them. If I can't find one readily available to purchase, I will choose another maker.
