It may just be my luck or timing but I have never, in the past had much luck getting a hold of Ed to discuss purchasing barrels from him. In the process of building a little Contender carbine for a friend (stock, scope, mounts, barrel) I was shopping around for the best deal on a carbine length full bull SS barrel in .204. The last place I looked was Eds, lucky me. Not only was Ed $30 cheaper, he shipped the same day. You gotta like that. Barrel came USPS yesterday....thanks Ed.
Already have plans for another.
