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?

Depends on your gunsmith. My gunsmith warned my that my gun repair might incur delays up to 3 weeks since parts can be long to get.

In the end, was done in 1 week. Says people have yet to think about hunting and he expects more of a rush in September.

2 months is not normal no.

What about 9 months? That shotgun could be a baby by now

Good catch. 9 months is insanity
