Galazan Repro Barrels

Not only that, but misleading buyers of those barrels by CSMC employees stating such things as "shipment starts in Sept." (years ago!), "they are in the shop", "they are made up and only awaiting ejector blades to be completed", "a number of these barrel sets have already been shipped", etc. etc. etc.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that Tony Galazan and CSMC has always been a friend to the PGCA and unless they have taken your money and not provided you with a product promised in the contract within the timeframe proscribed, there is no beef.
If, on the other hand, you have paid earnest money and they have defaulted on the contract, then you have every right to demand your money back with the appropriate interest.
It does no good to slam someone on merely 'he said - she said' conjecture.
It is really demeaning to see all of this mudslinging on this forum and other forums. I do believe, however, if promises were made and not fulfilled, a public explanation would be in order.

I'll step off my little soap box now...

Kensal Rise over on the Doublegunshop forum actually said he got a set of the CSMC 28 ga barrels (18 months after ordering them). He says there were "minor issues" so he returned them, for repair I presume. Evidently at least one set was made.

I agree totally with what has been stated above. I can only tell you what happened to me and what I was told by their representative(Lou). Was told by Mr. Galazan to send my gun in that he had 16GA barrels and he would fit a pair for me. Sent it two days later addressed to his attention as he suggested, waited two weeks and called, was connected to Lou who told me he had gotten the gun from Mr. Galazan and that there were no 16Ga barrels and would not be any for at least a year. I then ask about the 410 barrels for my 28Ga because I had heard about them and taking deposits, and he said, we aren't even thinking about those right now, that is way down the priority list and it will be a long time before any are produced, they aren't even in the works. I did not ask him about 28GA barrels and perhaps those are being made at this time. This is not second hand information, this is exactly the way things happened. Cost me $60 shipping and a lot of time packaging it up properly. Not a good way to run a business to my way of thinking. I don't believe anyone should take deposits on something that isn't even in the process of being made. Just my opinion for what it is worth.

Even if they someday produce them, don't assume they will fit your gun...

[Chuck Heald]

So....after a few months now of having received my .410 barrels and having them fitted, I still haven't seen any posts about others (other than Pat) receiving them.

Anyone?
