Greg:
As a fellow "depositor" on CSMC Parker barrels, I too wonder what the bloody heck is going on.
I sent them an email about 4 months ago asking just that, since my deposit has been in their hands for over 10 months now. They responded that they essentially have no idea when the barrels will be ready.
And... at the price they're asking for the barrels, one might well cover a good bit of another fine gun.
I shall give them a few more months. Then make a decision. But I wonder how long it will take to potentially get my money back?
Best, Kensal
