[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1742968, member: 38048"] The op asked if stolen barrels are good. Yes they are. The gunsmithing dept didn't make your barrel they chambered and threaded it. Yes it inexcusable to send out a barrel with a rough chamber. Should have been caught in quality control. No company can deliver a 100% perfect product 100% of the time. I am very sure if you talked to shilen they would make it right. If you live near Pittsburgh bring it to me and I will fix it for free. Chambers are not lapped they are just polished up. And sometimes the reamer or barrel steel can make a chamber more rough than others. Most chambers need very little polishing and the Smith probably gave it the usual polishing he normally does and didn't look in the chamber. Or he just forgot to polish it. It was surely a mistake on their part. And I bet they would insist on fixing it if given a chance. So I believe the op has gotten what he wanted to know. How many of you guys out their have had a bad experience with their prefits. Since I'm a professional gunsmith I have never bought a prefit except for some AR barrels. I hope you get yours squared away because it seems to shoot good for you. Shep [/QUOTE]
