[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1344371, member: 101859"] I have always been a fan of the cut barrels, Krieger, Rock creek, and Brux being my preference. Stress is why. However, after seeing some things lately I am starting to second guess this. Actual machine work is down the list compared to steel quality when we are talking accuracy. Cut barrels are usually dimentionally better, but that doesnt mean much to me. The thing with a cut barrel is they take the steel they get. The supplier does the stress relieving before they get it. Button barrels are stress relieved in house by the better button barrel makers. I am going to be trying more top button barrels to see what kind of consistency they provide. I am hoping the in house stress relieving may be more consistent and though than what the steel plants put out for the cut guys. [/QUOTE]
