Palmer's is not some random internet airsmith who is going to take your money and spend it on some race-track-ready Yugo. Give them at least a few weeks for the barrels, and another month if you had nickel finish.


I'm still working on my mag rifles, so I won't need my three 16", nickel plated barrels for awhile anyway.

I'm just getting an 11" gloss black unported... simple enough. Could only be simpler if I was getting it in unfinished brass .

Actually the main reason I want the barrels done soon is so I can get the speedgate for my PGP. My Mag shoots fine as it is, but reloading the PGP kinda sucks. And shipping them separate would cost too much considering it has to come all the way up here next to Toronto. Shipping the barrel alone is $21 and shipping both together is $22 .

When they arrive, can someone tell me if I massively missed out- if the barrel is actually milled with a T and they just weren't telling me?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how they can have an AGD milled T groove and not make one for me...

When I said "right feed" to Lori, I'm pretty sure she said "He's making them with a "T" so they'll be left or right.".

They are making them with a T grove so you can use the same barrel for a lefty or righty

This is exactly what my pump Mag project was missing. Calling Lory Monday.

Then I will call tomorrow and hopefully order one, because you know, I haven't spent enough on my mag this week...

i just went into Palmer's today and we have met the 15 barrel quota. They will be running them soon. Its not to late to get yours. Some orders could take up to 6 weeks to get done once they start.

So I wonder how they're going to do it. Make the ones ordered first, first? Make the simpler ones first? Or make all of them, just whatever length, unported and brass, then get payment and start the porting and adding whatever finish...

The way i understand it, is that thay make hte "coller" first then they weld the barrel onto the "coller". The coller being the part that you put the O-rings and nubbin on. I know the people who orderd a barrel with a nickel finnish will have to wait a bit longer because nickeling takes a bit longer to do vs. powdering coating
