[QUOTE="Smithy62, post: 1982370, member: 112065"] No offence, but I hope you realize that either you sound like one if their ideal victims these mfg’ers are targeting or you are one of their ‘hidden’ products marketers, posing as an highly interested customer, lol 😂? Taking anything of theirs or other websites as true glorious gospel could well be the quickest way to a small financial mistake, so please allow me to wake you up from your pleasant CW wet dreams! There still is the teoretical & the ‘real’ practical world! For one: you don’t have any control of what they’re actually using as an inside steel-liner if it is SS or CrMb2 and 2ndly, you have no idea about the amount of stresses induced to these ‘liners’ to reduce it to such thin dimensions! Over these past few years I’ve ended up rebrl’ing quite a few of these CW brl’s back to standard steel ones, some with my own proprietary deep-fluting, which comes close to the CW weight class brl’s, but then with all those benefits that fluted brl’s should naturally have. None of these CW brl’s could cut the mustard, while most had their throats severely cracked & torched out and none was even being remotely close to the actual factories achievable & pro-claimed rnd counts, so what does that tell you? I won’t throw out name brands, but quite a few wouldn’t even shoot worth a dime from ‘the get go’ and one has to wonder how their enclosed test-targets are being produced? At least two of them had to be boxed back up & sent back to get theirs replaced inside their warranty period with new replacement brl’s at the factories, just to be returned 11 & 17 months later respectively with slightly lesser, but similar problems!
