Barrel pricing and lead times.

[wy_will]

What do people see as typical barrel prices(threaded, and chambered) and typical lead times to receive a barrel?

Just curious since I was just quoted over $1,300 for a steel barrel and At least 8 months lead time. I have bought 10-12 barrels, steel and cf, and never paid that much or had that long of a lead time.

That for a blank or chambered and threaded? Still high for non cf if so. What brand barrel?

Most cut rifle barrel manufacturers are putting out barrels in 4 months to a year…

A fast gunsmith is going to chamber your in stock blank in 6-8 weeks.

I’d try to source your own blank if you can. Lots of vendors have barrels in stock.

800-1k would be appropriate for a steel barrel.

The best blanks (krieger, Bartlein, CRB, Brux) are about $450-500 then there’s a lot of good smiths that charge around $400 for chambering/threading, so I don’t think there’s much reason to pay more than $900 unless you’re doing fluting/cerakote. You can buy awesome barrels from Preece, TS, and Impact for around that as prefits too. I also don’t think you should be waiting more than a couple months. There’s enough good smiths to not bother with that unless they have the one specific reamer you need

A benchmark prefit CF with muzzle threads is $1275 from TS customs and pretty quick turn around. Steel would be $875. Add some $$ for fluting or cerakote.

$1300 and 8 months for a steel prefit seems rough.

Find a blank in stock, find a good smith. My 22GT barrel blank arrived to me in 2 days from order, then I shipped it and my action to my gunsmith and he had it back to me within a week. About $850 and two weeks from initial to order to barreled action in my hands. I then sent it to LRI for something special, and that is taking some time but they’ve only had it for 2 weeks now. Currently having the same smith do twin 7mm SAW barrels and timeframe/cost will be the same.

Yes sir you can. The owner’s name is Harrison, give them a call. Super nice dude. He’s RO’d pretty much every NRL match I’ve ever shot and a lot of people I know, including the best competitive shooters I know, won’t use anyone else for rifle work. Feel like I’m blowing a honey hole with a Rokslide post lol
