[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1043445, member: 2736"] Just a side note: Even though I recommend a barrel change, I have seen barrels that would not shoot very well and with little to lose (The barrels were mine)I cut the tenon off and re threaded and re-chambered (Factory barrels) and they shot much better. I have also re-contoured barrels that had excessive run out, and they did better because the wall thickness was uniform and did not start changing POI as they heated up None of these barrels were 1/4 MOA after the mods to them so did I hurt them ? No. It just made them better than they were. So some times re-contouring may help the accuracy but it can do other negative things and the chance of getting a laser are very slim for many of the reasons mentioned and after all of the expense of having it done you could end up with a stinker and that money is gone.
