[QUOTE="mauserhouser, post: 583764, member: 36692"] Well i will be the un-popular one here but as far as Douglas goes and i do this for a living mind you!!!! i have never had a bad one and have pulled Pac-Nor barrels that went south on F-Class rifles chambered in .243 after 300 rounds to install a Douglas that in the past has gone 3000 rounds before giving up the ghost. I have also lapped these barrels myself with JB (i know what people say and i don't wana hear it about JB) i use a bronze brush 1 size smaller than the bore and a cotton patch and stroke the barrel 100 times with it careful and marking the dewey rod with tape not to pull out all the way in either direction. clean out all the JB and do the same with Flitz Polish. it works and it works well i have done this to Adams and Bennett barrel too and have a guy shooting one in an F-Class riflegun) 6.5x55 Match first load came in at .327" at 100 yards the Douglas i did this way in .243 came in at the .250" range with the same load his last Douglas barrel shot and lasted 3K rounds the guy said his last barrel did every thing he ever wanted to do except go clean at 600 yards. i have also had the same luck with Shilen but the Douglas barrels run truer in the lathe than the Shilen i have seen the Shilen barrels run as much as .017" out of concentricity from ID to OD Douglas and Adams and Bennett barrels both run way better in the lathe than they do. Krieger, Lilja,Hart etc all good barrels but too pricey for most of my customers.:) [/QUOTE]
