Anyvbody sent off for a new barrel lately?
« on: August 04, 2010, 02:29:05 PM »
Just wondering if anyone has sent off for a new barrel lately and what the results were, costs, etc.?
How long did it take and were you satisfied with the work done? Also are the 44 mag barrels of the proper bore/groove size now?
thanks,

MidwayUSA.com has barrels and a good set of customer reviews for different brands/models.  You can get at least some answers to your questions there. 

Brownells.com will also have some good answers. 

After that and more posts from readers here, a web search is in order.

i did'nt lnow you cud get h&r barrels new from anywhere else than the factory, they have to fit them
to your receiver...

anaway,  i sent in for a barrel about 2-3 months ago. and they tell me.."any day now" !!!
the barrel i ordered was in stock at the time of my call to them. but i found out that
the guy i talked to just came back from a trip to the moon !!!!! ::)

its been straight'nd out now by a very good cs rep. she emails me just about everyday telling me the
latest... have been waiting on the vent rib from a outside source.

make sure you call and talk to about 3 different persons when checking availibility.

ya jus gotta be on top of thangs !!! ;D  i lernt tha hard way !!!

aslong as it gets here before dove season opens... it'll be just fine  ;D

Hunter, see the Ilion Satisfaction Poll in the FAQs and Help sticky, it has almost all of the reports on Factory service in the last couple years cuz that's where they should be for fellers like yourself.

I think you're lost(don't know what forum you're in!!), new H&R barrels are only available as factory fitted option, no one else sells em.  :'(
