[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 144293, member: 1521"] Personally, I think barrel makers will tell ya anything. What do they know about barrel life? Or extending barrel life? I think -nothing. Same with accuracy. If any of them actually knew, we would have barrels from these makers lasting longer than others, or more accurate. Neither is the case. They are just dividing the market, doin the same as any other.. I've read where barrel makers claim their barrels need no breakin. Pure BS. After your barrel is CHAMBERED, it will need breakin. The best way I've seen is with 10shots of Tubbs FinalFinish. Done deal. Follow up with a few every few hundred and I believe you'll gain significant barrel life. Soon, someone will hit on a coating/process that helps us all. But it won't be a barrel maker who does this for us. Eventually, someone will capture, measure, & identify the attributes of a truly accurate barrel. It will be different than the typical barrel produced by our best today. And so it will be difficult to get made in the US.. Maybe a foreign maker like LW might be willing to go out of their way for payin customers. [/QUOTE]
