[QUOTE="Taj, post: 3069412, member: 98000"] Ebender, Turning an existing barrel can/may cause you some headaches. Anytime you turn steel the machining operation imparts stresses into the machined piece and it's hard to avoid. That's why good barrel makers stress relieve their barrels after they are machined/contoured. I think it's still true that a lot of the quality makers grind their barrels to final form. I think that barrels that have this operation should be stress relieved before wrapping them. You might be better off buying a Proof or some other quality barrel that's already wrapped. Just my thoughts after a lot of years beating on guns. [/QUOTE]
