I ordered mine right after Thanksgiving and received it on Dec 14.. So it took a little over two weeks for me. your results may vary. Its best not to think about that awesome hunk of metal that will probably shoot sub MOA. :-)

Thanks for the reply how does yours shoot and what ammo are you using? I know all barrels are different ive been doing this a long time just curious. Thanks Mike

After initial break-in im shooting quarter size groups@ 100 yards using cheap Hornady V-Max rounds.....Only have about 40 rounds through it....i will be trying out some SSA handloads soon,

How did you break your barrel in i know there are many different ways just curious in how you did yours. Thanks Mike

5-10 one-shot cycles - 1 shot then solvent patch followed by a dry patch

1 three-shot cycle - 3 shots wet solvent patch....dry patch

1 five-shot cycle - 5 shots...solvent...dry patch....

basically you are trying to shoot away the tooling marks and rough edges inside the bore. use a good copper removing solvent to remove the fouling after the shot.

This is just the method i use... there are prob different variations...also all barrels are different so there isn't a specific break-in method for all barrels

Thanks i always shot cleaned after one shot for 20 rounds then started 5 shot cleanings. If the barrel doesnt shoot well after that then i will use Tubbs Final Finish.

My bison shoots ssa ph great. Dime sized groups at 100 yards. The bead blasting is done by a gentleman in tx that Ben sends his upper's to. Like said above results may very but I waited about a month for mine.
