Mcgowen lead time.

[Djahnsen]

Have any of you guys ordered from Mcgowen. I placed an order back on December 5th and I know custom barrels can take a long time but it’s been almost 17 weeks and I haven’t heard a word from them and I’ve attempted to get in contact with them several times. Now their voicemail is full and I can’t leave a message. I’ve also emailed them countless times just requesting an update.

Normal. They are all over you before the sale then it's radio silence. It will show up one day, probably not what you ordered but it will shoot good.

Same boat.. Last McGowan I will order. I tried calling to ask a question, I think 4 times now. Left 3 vm's and 2 emails over the last 3 months. 0 responses. Ded to me after this barrel arrives

It might be overkill but I’ve probably sent 20 emails and called about that many times leaving voicemails and have never got a response.

Looks like Google reviews is full of people in the same boat.

I bet your barrel is gonna be a tack driver.

I was going to order a McGowen for an UL-UL so had a few questions. Finally got a hold of Sam on the phone...once. Had a follow-up question and no more answers, no return calls, no emails...

Going to buy from X-Caliber. They answer emails.

The owner is aware, even acknowledged and mentioned it in a YouTube video announcing their new rifling method. He hopes to have a new CRM system implemented soon. Seems more of a staffing issue than efficiency issue to me...that is an outside looking in perspective. Carbon 6 has always been good to me but they have gotten slow and harder to get a hold of. I liked their barrels but lately have been sourcing barrels elsewhere, unfortunately. Last ones I ordered were 9 months to get and they had been running 3-4.
