nice thing about THOMPSON ARMS ,day they get it, they dont fool around from what i hear.i would say from time sent in and back you are looking at no more than a week to 10 days. i will post how long it took ,out and back.if you have little boo boos on barrel from knicks etc, they repair that also in cost of 65 dollars.my friend had punch marks on his front sight area.they will be repaired . i think that is GREAT price to bring a barrel back to new look.
