Barrel Wait Time?

[308win]

Is 15 month delivery time excessive for a barrel from Kreiger, or is this about normal?

WOW THAT'S TERRIBLE.
What did you order.

 

[308win]

36" .338

Edit: Posted the same time as you mentioned what you wanted... They don't have a 36" (31", yes) .

Bugholes.com has some in stock.

Krieger barrels

Krieger is a big operation; they employ 26 people and usually have 15-16 people on the production floor. They have averaged 12,000 cut rifled barrels per year for the last 4 years on 5 Pratt and Whitney twin spindle riflers, 4 twin spindle gun drills, 2 twin spindle reamers, and one six spindle...

Not any that are 36"

One of a kind stuff takes longer. Doesn't matter which maker. Unique twist etc. I know getting Bartlien to 32" required a tooling change, increased expense, and time.

I agree, knew it would be longer....just didn't know if this was the norm?

Unfortunately, that's normal these days.

Take a look at their Krieger Direct page and their inventory page. You might find something that would work.

These are the folks to speak with about longer and bigger diameter barrels:

Yeap. Last one I ordered was a 15 month wait. I got lucky and had it in 12 lol.
