[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2487834, member: 1951"] I don’t mean after….I don’t make barrels, but to cut(or form) something precisely, you have to control the stock coming to you at a high level. My understanding is that barrel makers get standard bar stock because their orders are too small(read they order less than a train rail car at a time) to dictate an exact spec. So they heat treat in house or somebody stress relieves their blanks. Then they cut. That is how they get tolerances in the 0.000x range. [/QUOTE]
