I'm doing a build on a 243 Axis chassis and if the turn time is lengthy, I will just let the grandson hunt with it the way it sits rather than break it down just to let it sit.

No need to break it down anyway, until you get the new one. That's the beauty of it.

Depends, but I wouldn't bank on getting one that quick. You may be better suited picking up an in-stock prefit from any one of the various vendors that carry them...

Ask Jim. His estimate for mine was only a week off. Not saying he will always be that close on his estimate but a good place to start.

What caliber are you considering? Are you staying with a sporter weight barrel or moving up to a varmint weight? If considering a varmint weight, talk to Jim at Northland Shooter Supply, he has common calibers from Criterion in stock.

I think he's really getting his rhythm down now in terms of having a feel for the supply chain and his shop's output capacity. It may not be lighting fast since he's still a one-man show, but his ability to assess when barrels will be done is improved.
Unfortunately, after waiting a few months for the much anticipated shipment notification from Jim, I think my most recent barrel rolled off the USPS truck outside of Shreveport!
EDIT: Ah, back on track!

When I ordered a barrel last summer, Jim said about 8 weeks. Arrived 8 weeks to the day. He is very reliable. Also, The barrel is a very good one.

Ive got a 6x45 barrel on order from jim at apache and I was told about 1 month to get the blank and start the chambering,threading and crowning process.

Okay, just an update: the barrel that arrived yesterday was not the barrel I ordered three months ago. It was the barrel I ordered four weeks ago! That's pretty darn fast for a full custom. Actually, I guess the .243 I'm waiting on is more custom since it's being throated to my specs.

I ordered a .450 bushmaster barrel on November 28th and it arrived today! Way quicker than I expected.

I ordered one in July and got it two weeks ago.
