A word about E.R. Shaw.....
I have one of their barrels in .243 that I got from a GunShack group buy on here. It is great, shoots extremely well, and arrived in the timeframe expected. I have another one I ordered in 6.5 Creedmoor for a build I was planning for this deer season. The expected delivery date was June 2012, and it still is not here. The owner of GunShack that puts these group buys together and purchases quite a few barrels from Shaw can't even get them to respond or tell him when to expect the shipments. They make really good barrels at a great price, but it seems that they are way, WAY behind in their production, and or severely understaffed. I heard that they got a huge AR15 barrel contract this year and that has taken the bulk of their resorces and manpower.....don't know if that's true or not. No telling when we will get our barrels.
