[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 519716, member: 2736"] I know you ask about pre fit barrels but having replaced a lot of them I do not recomend a pre fit barrel from anyone. I know there are some that shoot well , but the odds are good that you will get a so so barrel,and chamber because they are mass produced just like the factory barrels and just like the factory barrels not all shoot well. The pre fit custom barrels have a better chance but they are not allways that well machined. The barrel blank may be good but the chambering job falls short, the barrel cant make up for it. You stated that you were after accuracy and IMO there is only one way to improve the odds of getting a real shooter is with one of the top end barrels and first class gunsmithing. There are a half dozen well known smiths on this site that can give you an accuracy guarantee. and deliver. A pre fit barrel is a Pig in a Polk and If it works out "Great" but if it doesent there is not much you can do without spending More money. You get what you pay for (some times) and there is no short cut to accuracy. Pre fit barrels will say It "should" shoot 1MOA but they will say it is the assembly or something if it doesn't, but a smith has total control of quality and can offer 1/2 MOA and achieve it. Of course this is just my opinion, based what I have seen and others have had good luck with there's so the choice is yours. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
