[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 215613, member: 2693"] Well, it is my opinion that turning the gun custom is the way to go. I can also attest that PacNor has an excellent lap for their bbls. While they may not be the most popular custom bbl maker out there, or the best known, I believe they have one of, if not the best, lap and lapping techniques. I've just seen it too many times where their barrels just don't foul like a Hart, Shilen, and sometimes, a Lilja. Granted, they are all shooters regardless of fouling. I'd take another PacNor bbl any day. I'm also of the opinion that no matter how high the quaility of any custom barrel, your new build will still need a break-in process. It just makes too much sense to me to do it. If your current barrel really fouls that much, pitch it and get a real barrel and PacNor is an excellent choice. Turn around time is too difficult to estimate since every smith is on their own schedule, and like most any other business, they probably have their busy and slow times of year. The typical range of time I've seen was from 3 months to greater than a year, but no more than 18 months. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
