mlaubner, its been a couple of years, but I think it was around 3 weeks. I may be wrong, but I'd say that the turn around time depends on what time of year it is. When people are getting ready for deer season, they may be a little slower getting it back to ya, but I've been wrong before.lol Another thing to remember, when they ship it back to you, it must go through a FFL holder.[:'(] You may give them a call and see if they can give you an estimate of how much time it will take. Like I said, its worth every penny, everything about it is much smoother!! BTW, I noticed that you have the 20ga smooth-barrel. What do ya think of it? I've been considering it, but didn't want to drop the cash until I heard from someone that has it. Thanx in advance.
