I bought a 17 HMR barrel for my contender very pleased with both service and quality. Said it would take about 4 weeks and it was right about that long. Good people to do buisiness with.

Considering price, customer service,delivery and quality "I" consider them #1 in the game now. I bought 2 barrels in the last year from them and cant complain about anything.

Recently bought from them a 7.62 x 39 barrel for my Contender. It had to be made as I wanted a .311 bore. I had ordered a blue one but they slipped up and made it in stainless. Notified me of the situation and said they would remake it or let me have the stainless at the blue price. I now have a very nice shooting stainless barrel on my blue frame. Great folks to do business with.

I received a .338-06 Encore barrel from MGM the end of January. I ordered it using a Shilen stainless blank which had to be ordered. This was over the Christmas/New Year season and was advised at about 3 months which was pretty much the time it took. It was well worth the wait. The workmanship was excellent! I just had been talking to a man who ordered 3 barrels from Bullberry and was told 1 took a year and the other 2 took a year and a half, after which he had lost interest in them and sold 1 to me. I have quite a few SSK barrels, which is very much the equal to the MGM and would buy either one again.

I ordered a 14" Shilen SS 30-30 AI just before this past Christmas and was told it would be 6 weeks for delivery. It arrived at my home 6 weeks to the day. With some slapped together fire forming loads consisting of 35 grs IMR 4320 powder that I have had for ages and don't use for anything else, new WW 30-30 cases, Wolf LR primers and PULLED 147 gr FMJ bullets at 100 yards if both I and my buddy would do our part it would shoot 5 shots under 1 inch. I hope to be able to shoot it with some real loads this week. If I ever want another barrel it will come from MGM. There is not much difference in the cost of a MGM barrel and a factory T/C barrel but the quality is much greater with the MGM.
