I spoke with the fine gentleman at Rice Barrels, last week, in regards to the TOW style Jaeger barrel I ordered in March. The word now is that I might get it in October. Maybe.
The problem is, they are very busy and trying to catch up. Setting up machines for that barrel takes half a day, but there are only 14 of that style barrel on order, so it's hard to justify setting up for that short run when he has many other barrel styles to run.
If you are thinking of ordering that style barrel, now might be a good time. He mentioned that this may be the last run of that barrel.
Besides, a few more orders might get my barrel built sooner.
