Re: Talk me out of a K95...

Re: Talk me out of a K95...
Six months if I'm lucky, up to 12 months.... I think I ordered it two months ago. Hopefully I'll have in time for a backpack hunt after the snow melts.Wsm hunter wrote: ↑Tue Dec 08, 2020 5:15 amHow long have they said the new barrel will take?

Due to Covid 19 nothing is guaranteed. If Covid hits Germany hard again, they will shutdown down everything again. Swarovski/Kahles have been shutdown for weeks, real PITA.

Glad then that I bought my Swaro NLs from the first shipment, instead of getting clever and waiting until 2021 (or whenever, apparently)

Re: Talk me out of a K95...
Update for those interested.
I ordered a K95 barrel 2/10/20 and got notification last week to pick it up. About 6 months to get a barrel in Australia.
Date of manufacture on the barrel is 2020.

Re: Talk me out of a K95...
That's the same date as on mine.
So I guess they must be pumping them out to order, any older stock must be long gone.

Re: Talk me out of a K95...
Right...I was wondering if they ran a batch late last year for export or if it just took that long to grab them off the shelf at Blaser HQ.
How was the fit? My barrel was a snug fit to say the least.

Re: Talk me out of a K95...
Too snug to fit, so 10min with a diamond file and it's just a hair more snug then my 30/06 barrel.
