reasonable wait times for a gunsmith?

[u/Stevko_1]

I dropped off an shotgun barrel back in December to have it threaded for chokes and it still hasn't been done yet. I called about 2 months ago and he said was really busy and hadn't gotten to it yet and he would call me when its done. is this a normal wait time these days?

Could be a few weeks, could be a year, could be longer, could be never. Especially if it's a one man shop and they only work guns on a part-time basis or they're swamped and they decide to push out work further in favor of higher paying jobs. Your guess is as good as mine. I'd get your gun back and go elsewhere.
