The wait for a repair is the worst part. I’m sure it’s gonna come back awesome! Keep us posted
Not happy. Sp101 bore has chatter marks.

That's amazing that it doesn't copper foul with Jacketed bullets with those machining marks in there.

To be honest it doesn't surprise me because I've noticed in rifle barrels that the smoother the bore is, the more it copper fouls. My cheap crappy barrels never copper foul. The expensive hand lapped mirror finished ones are always the ones that I need to copper clean religiously. Or so it seams to me anyway.

Looking at the gas-checked loads on

I'd shoot gas-checked lead and work on my shooting and not worry about how the bore looks.

That is a long time for a tech to look in the barrel bin for a barrel that doesn't have screwed up chatter marks inside of it. Sounds like they are trying to fix your gun with a unicorn barrel.

Maybe the 4-6 weeks is a general thing they say. But it took SW 12 weeks to fix a slide staying open before the mag was empty. Hi-point and RIA were always fast in turn around.

Hate to nitpick your post, but there are some older Korths that would beg to differ.

My two SP's are more than ten years old (bought new) and they don't have those machining marks. I guess their barrels might be too complicated (externally) to have originally been hammer-forged, which is much easier for a rifle barrel.

This is the bore in mine, I bought it new in Nov 2011.
I tried to get good pics of the bore but it's hard to do with a cell phone and only 2 hands.
Some lead fouling. This gun has done this since day one.
The first pics I took showed a leaded barrel so I cleaned it again before I took this one. No chatter marks but there are some other marks in there. Not a polished bore for sure.
It shoots good though, I shot this target this afternoon. 6 shots.
73 gr Acme RN and 4.0 gr of WST powder.

It's in Harrisburg Pa. It arrived there yesterday. Im hoping it comes today. It's supposed to be delivered the 16th. But i don't think it will be that long.
I'm curious what they did, My GP100 looks similar if not worse.
This is kind of why I think bore scopes are more trouble than their worth for most of us.
I found some nicks and dings in the chamber and throat area of the barrel i got for my 257 not too long ago, and went thru a bunch of effort to cut most of them out.... Of course now my rifle has a mile long throat and she shoots exactly the same as it did before I did all the work.... But hey now most of the marks are gone, start pressure is probably dropped considerably with all the free bore, and I've gotten like two grains of powder capacity back!

Took me 7 months to get my Model 48-3 back from S&W. And it still wouldn’t eject fired cases even when scrubbed clean. (A cylinder hone, oil and my drill press fixed it.)
My 66-1and 686+ took about three months each to be returned.
Stay safe.
