I think there has been a backlog at Meridian. My G98/68 went off for a 'service' and it was mentioned that they hoped to turn around G series bits in about 3 weeks. I got it back last Friday and it was away about 6 weeks although I expect it spent some time on the bench being soak tested. The reason for my service was self inflicted so I can't complain.
