Found the Proof on optics planet with a 1 to 3 month wait (hoping that stays real). Not many in stock options I could find.
Not to be a bearer of bad news, just being honest and stating some facts.
I’m hoping and praying your business transaction with Optics Planet works out. Easily one of the worst Inet businesses with zero customer support. Been reported to the BBB thousands of times. Notorious for advertising low prices and fast delivery times. In reality, they have very little in stock and order items direct from the manufacturer. Lead / delivery time is the same as from the manufacturer. Trying to get in touch with someone to ask about your order is a Royal PIA.
Fingers crossed you get your barrel as advertised and delivered in a timely manner.
Reach out to me if you have any questions as I’ll help you anyway possible

Definitely had fingers crossed when I ordered. Can still cancel. From everything I saw, it seemed a bit odd.
Any experience with Straight Jacket Armory? They seem to be upfront with their lead times on Bartlein and Proof barrels. May give them a call today to see.

Ordered several Proof barrels from them. Great company to work with.

Theyre good.
Check out evolved ballistics as well, they sell a lot of proof barrels.

Thanks to all for the confirmation on Straight Jacket Armory. Cancelled my other order and went through them after calling. They told me 12 weeks, but they'd do what they could to pull that in, but were open that sometimes supply even makes it take a few more than the typical 12. Well got a call today to review the barrel specs once more (which I appreciated) and it's shipping today, just 2 weeks after ordering.

Use Red hawk rifles. That's where I get my barrels.

Not surprised Nick got it done quick. I use Straight Jacket for everything. Enough so last year I got a Christmas present from them. The look my wife gave when the gunsmith sends you a gift was an all-time glare.

I've ordered quite a few Bartlein from Red Hawk, steel and Carbon Fiber. Bison Tactical will also stock their ModBB from time to time I've ordered. Red Hawk does a First Responder discount as well if you qualify, no sales tax.
Bugholes (Southern Precision) should be your second stop to check on barrels. They have recurring orders from all the big makers. Don't skip on CRB either. Newer company but they are producing hammers. Using their 7mm blank and contour on my NF Challenge 7PRC this year, again chambered by Straight Jacket.
