[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 166749, member: 4191"] [b]stress - then stress relieved[/b] I'm curious - why the concern that stress is caused by the button rifling process itself if the stress is relieved before the button-rifled barrel leaves the manufacturer's facility? To my knowledge, all button rifled barrels are stress relieved after the rifling is set in the bore. Does anyone know if button-rifled or cut-rifled barrels win more bench rest competitions? Seems like that would say something about one being more precise/accurate than the other. Maybe BountyHunter will chime in... I'm pretty sure if we ordered as many barrels as Kirby does that we'd get barrels in 9 weeks from Lilja also. Such is business. I don't believe I've ever run across a small business owner that didn't take care of their larger volume customers first, no matter what the business sold or provided. Can you blame them? Nothing wrong with maximizing your profits, shy of committing any crimes. Interesting read and thanks for your input Kirby. I almost felt like I was "cheating" when I read your post in this thread.
