Swamped barrel

Getz is out of business.

Jim Kibler was rifling the barrel blanks from Green Mountain on anything smaller than .45 Cal

“WAS” is the key word at this time. He gets rifled blanks and the profiles them.

I would love to get a kibler kit but the wait is not something a 66 yr old kid can deal with.
But might take me that long to pay for it. LOL
Lol but serious too

Other than the Woodsrunner, the wait time are pretty short now, a few weeks or less I believe.

Getz barrels come in different sizes. Pecatonica River handles those barrels. I have one on a Jaegar that I built. The balance is great, and it is a good shooter. First shot was a 10x offhand at 50 yards.

I’m fairly certain that Getz is no longer making bbls

The Black Powder group I’m on the board of, ordered a .45 SMR during the winter for a raffle. It came in 10 days

Take a drive over to his shop, just let him know when you are coming. IT IS a good experience!!

I never allowed that in my shop. Time is money when your making muzzleloaders for a living. Every hour some guy was standing around blabing I was loosing 45 bucks. If a guy hung around for 4 hours there goes 200 bucks.
I was shocked when all of this GPS stuff became available for phones. I had people show up unannounced all the time, just to see "what kind of machinery I used". I'd point at the ol craftsman bandsaw and say "you're lookin at it".
I got my address off of my web site Pronto.

Well, I am going to open a huge can of worms....

You could buy a straight barrel and swamp it yourself

 

[Crow#21957]

Ya but I already ordered one

My hourly shop rate way back then was $25/ hr, $30 if you watched, $35 if you helped…

We'll see about wait time. I ordered a 58 Colonial Friday.

I'm out 8 to 10 months. It's a very special order type of barrel. But that's OK, I have plenty of things to do to keep me busy.
