[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1142413, member: 2736"] I not only feel lucky, I feel good that I get that quality. I am sorry that you haven't been and your idea to research is a good one and may be an eye opener. I have changed barrels over the years because of quality and not having to worry about cost has prompted me to use only barrels that met the advertised tolerances. And actually the better quality has lowered set up time (Time is money) and made it easier to produce good quality. My rule is simple, look for a barrel that meets the tolerance I expect, then expect to get that quality because I am paying for that quality. I am not interested in A barrel maker that doesn't post his acceptance criteria, so I only buy from the ones that do and only as long as they honor there guarantee of quality and tolerances. Maybe using all quality parts has kept me out of trouble, And I'm not as good as I would want to be. I personally like to indicate both ends at the same time to find straightness. There may be a better way but if I can get both ends to indicate .0001 or less at the same time I feel it is straight. if both ends wont indicate with each other, then its just a matter of doing the math and figuring out just how crooked the bore is for its entire length. Anyway, there are barrels that are made straight you just have to look for them and except no less. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
