[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 690412, member: 3733"] The reality is if he did turn down the barrel, and fit it as you requested, and the guns accuracy suffered, You would then complain to whom? Yourself? the smith? or the barrel maker? Krieger would not warranty a barrel that was contoured after it left there shop. It was your request to turn it down, but the smith who did the work would most likly get the blame. Your best option was to sell the blank and get one that was the correct contour from the manf. All quality barrel makers contour the blanks before they are lapped and most countour the blanks before they are even rifled. He should have turned you down, and I don't think SSS is doing you much justice by honoring your request, unless your OK with the potential accuracy issues that may come about from inducing/releasing stress into an already finished product.
