CarbonSix Holiday Sale Order Status

[swavescatter]

This entire industry is f**ked up. Nowhere else would people gladly pay thousands of dollars for things that take a year to ship and so frequently have massive QC issues. Barrels, custom rifles, stocks, silencers. Why do we all just love to be abused as consumers?

Just got mine 3 weeks ago. I ordered on 12/23.

10 months for mine also. The secret is to not bitch about it then it shows up quicker

That doesn’t seem right? Following this thread it seems like shortly after posts the orders got filled…

10 months next week.

Maybe I was the chosen one

When you guys ordered, are you sure it specified what year it was supposed to be delivered? You might get your barrel in February/March after all! In all seriousness I haven’t ordered a barrel from c6 and don’t think I ever will because of this thread.

That's true. I was a masochist when I first started building rifles, then I wised up. I do like to watch these threads though. So hard to look away...

Supposed to get my March 223AI barrel inn tomorrow...

I must’ve gotten lucky on a cancelled barrel. Ordered 11/21/24, arrived 12/19/24. Ain’t mad at it

Nope. Called and placed the order. Gene said he guaranteed he’d have it out before April so I’d have time to do load development etc before September. 3 weeks later got the email requesting second payment.

Got it all put together @ 60ftlb and checked with a go/no go gauge

Sadly won’t close on the go gauge. It’s close but definitely not going to close without being forced. I loosened the barrel to 47ftlb and the go gauge worked fine. Torque seemed low (C6 recommends 60) so I turned it back to 60ftlb.

It cycles the factory Berger ammo I slated for brass harvesting and loading. Let it ride or send it back to C6? As far as I can tell it’s a non issue unless I were to switch to a different factory ammo that’s closer to max spec?

 

[swavescatter]

Dang. I'm glad you posted this - I was considering rolling the dice, torquing to 90ft-lbs and letting it eat...

I'll have to order up my 223AI gauges which are are a bit of a pain to find.

I'd keep it and have a competent gunsmith work on it later if need be. If you choose to send it back, send the action too. Those guys at carbon six are more of a "Kentucky windage" type of an outfit when it comes to headspace. If you give them exact measurements they likely will overshoot and you'll need to send it back again. At least that was one of my experiences with them.

I talked to Gene yesterday and he said shoot it and if it’s showing pressure to send it back and they’d fix it.

The bolt half closes on the go gauge so it’s close. We’ll see how it does
