If he can't do it while you wait I bet he could do it in a week or less.

It would be worth a phone call to find out anyway. Let me know if you're interested and I'll PM his name and number.

He's done 2 Savage pre-fits for me and a couple small things that I screwed up, he was able to fix. He's a pretty nice guy. Usually gets my stuff done before the timeline he gives me. Just get a barrel nut wrench and an action wrench. :chuckle: That's what I'm doing for the 2 pre-fits I have on order. Gary charged $40 to replace and headspace the barrel, might be more now. If you have 2 barrels changed over, you'll have paid for the action wrench and still won't have one :chuckle:
