[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 519888, member: 2736"] I think you hit the nail on the head. If a person does them himself like sinarms then the odds of getting a bad one are a lot less but the ones that are ordered on line through suppliers like Midway are the ones that I have had the most trouble. They are mass produced and there is very little consideration for the end user. because they are bulk discounted and bottom line seems to be the priority. It is also odd that I have found the same thing wrong as gary with a lot of the pre fit barrels( Bad throats. bad lead or none on a few.I also re barreled one that did not have any throat and the rifling was square to the bore(No lead). This thing was blowing the primers with minimum loads. I will say that the supplier refunded his money and made it right with the customer. I have installed a few and I automatically check them for machine accuracy and have not found one that did not need some work.I have also seen custom rifles with lots of problems so it is not just the prefit barrels that have problems. So that's why I don't like them and recomend having a good gunsmith at least install it and correct anything that is needed. I only make recommendations based on personal experiences and I'm sure that there are just as many people that have had good experiences with Pre fits. So those that like them and/or make them, No Offense intended, just my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
