[QUOTE="lynn, post: 34912, member: 1479"] The K-P barrels shoot extremely well.In 50bmg they hold every record there is to hold and Ken and Peggy Johnson thats the K-P are very active in the FCSA (fifty caliber shooters association)shoots.They are located in Raton,New Mexico and have built some outstanding barrels.Bob Crone of 1000 yard and F-Class world team fame is using them very sucessfully.The Lilja barrels shoot great but tend to wear out a little faster in my experience.The K-P turn-around time can be frustrating from time to time but they have excellent customer service if a problem is encountered.Dan on the other hand has super reliable estimates on when your barrel will ship but his customer skills when its his problem are dead last.I ordered up a 1.750 X 36 inch 30cal SS tube from him and it came marked 10 twist 1.750X36 SS Straight plus had my name on it.The barrel was 1.660 at its largest dimension then tapered to 1.580 the 320 grit finish looked like a spiral staircase and it cost me $420 Two calls to Dan and all i got was "well the bore is straight" not what i wanted to hear after buying a $400 barrel block for a 1.750 barrel.I'm sure after the message i left on his phone Dan will remember me.
