Tornado Tech, Accepting again?

[finn]

Tornado Tech had an announcement up they weren't accepting orders until yesterday. I don't really want to be one of the hundreds of people who are probably calling them, so does anyone know if they are taking orders again?

I thought their website said not until sometime in March 2011.

I thought their website said not until sometime in March 2011.

I hope not. I sent a couple of barrels in before the new year because they said they would be starting back up Jan 10.

Guess well see what they chime in with.

They just updated the site. Damn, they keep moving the date back, I should have sent the barrel off yesterday.

Jan 10, Jan 17, March 2011. It's exponential, next update will say March 2012.

Aren't there any local gunsmiths in your area(s)?

I've got a local gunsmith not far from my house. I couldn't imagine having to wait on a thread job.

There is one that I know of, and the prices are ridiculous. Also, since it is a sort of specific job (g19 barrel --> g26), I'd rather go with someone who has done this before.

For pistols, it might be worth just buying a new threaded barrel rather than waiting. Whats Tornado charge to thread? Shipping both ways? How long without the barrel? How many rounds through your barrel already?
Just sayin....

I can second ADCO, they did by last bbl very quickly, like a week or two. TT is awesome but sometimes the waiting gets to be be too much. Got my F4 for my .22 can before I got my bbls back.

I can vouch for that. I just got my 77/22 barrel back after 6 months. I am very happy with the workmanship. I wish they would expand their operations a bit to keep up with demand. It's not like the demand for silencers/threaded barrels is going to go down anytime soon.
