17 Rem Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Anyone aware of any problems at Border? My RFD ordered an Archer barrel from them for one of my rifles over 3 months ago and was quoted 8 to 10 weeks for completion. They told him the barrel was ready over a month ago and he sent the rifle to Border for the replacement Archer barrel to be fitted. They've now had it for over a month and have not replied to an E mail the RFD sent them requesting an update last saturday. I'm getting a little nervous now.

baldie Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Ring them up direct buddy. There will have been a breakdown in communication somewhere, as [from personal experience] borders service is second to none, and trust me, you have nothing to worry about....they are stand up guys.Border are pulled out with work [because they are so bloody good] and i know, Les and Dennis, are working their broccoli off, just trying to keep up with custom barrel jobs, never mind the military stuff etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17 Rem Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I phoned them about 3 weeks ago and got the impression that I was just an inconvenience, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6mmBR Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I've had no problems I had my .22-250 AI back bang on the 9 weeks they quoted. As Col said JR is a top bloke. Jenny who usually answers the phone is very helpful. I know the proof house has been running a bit slow. Hope you get sorted, I'm well pleased with the Archer barrel on my .22-250AI. It's just got me in the 500 yd club last night. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17 Rem Posted August 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 They can't blame the proof house- my RFD is taking it there on its return, Border are supposed to be returning it to him un-proved. When I rang I was told it was "just going into the workshop". Surely there can't have been more than a few hours work on it required at that time? I'll contact them again, but I'm less than impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I hope you will be impressed by the barrel - I was with mine (just sold the stick). I had a looong wait, something over 6 months I think, when there were steel problems from the supplier. But the wait was worth it. The cut riffled 5R tube I had off them was excellent. David.
