[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 511787, member: 2736"] If the barrel is straight on the outside but has "Shadows" on the inside you would have to prove it was not straight or just ask the barrel maker if he could re check it. Most of the good barrel makers don't want a bad barrel out there and would be more than happy to check it out to see if they have a quality control issue. I would not think an individual could straighten or afford the equipment to straighten a barrel and in the case of a questionable barrel most good smiths are not willing to take the chance and use it if they have any accuracy guarantee. and if the barrel maker does not replace or verify the quality of their barrels I never buy another one from them, and end up eating the cost of the barrel in lieu of taking the chance of building a Turd. The barrel is a small portion of the cost of a custom build, but a major portion of the total accuracy potential of any firearm. The best smith cant make a truly accurate rifle if he does not have a good barrel to start with. So confirm that its a bad barrel or replace it, would be my advice. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
