[QUOTE="70oldsracer, post: 1772751, member: 95943"] Thanks for the reply. At this point, I feel I've learned that purchasing a barrel from a reputable company, even if it's more money, is always the best option. I obviously didn't buy the barrel directly from Wilson, but from one of their vendors. Also, it's nice to sit back and say "I threaded and chambered this barrel" but after purchasing all the necessary tooling and the time invested, it's just not the cost effective way to go. I'm sure if the barrel blank was good, the rifle would have shot just fine, but I bet the new ER Shaw barrel will shoot just fine too. I jumped into this not really knowing enough about the process. It's partially my fault for not checking the barrel blank properly. If my lathe was longer I could have checked it between centers, but unfortunately that's not the case. I'm always learning. I just sent Wilson an email and I will follow up with a phone call on Monday. [/QUOTE]
