[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1343821, member: 7999"] I know Mike is still part of the Proof team. Unless I am wrong they have taken Mikes process and greatly improved it from where he had it. They now also purposely make their own barrels from the start with the design of wrapping, instead of getting blanks and turning them down to accept the wrap. My understanding is that the end result is a truer bore now. Used to have stress and relief problems the old way. Not sure how others are doing the process but I know that Proof has it all in house from the start and their quality control is very good. Don't get me wrong. I can't say that the Proof is better than the rest as I have no experience with the rest. I can say that Proof barrels from my experience are very good. I do not recall hearing anything negative about them. I know some smiths do not like them as you only get one shot to set them up correctly. Steve [/QUOTE]
