[QUOTE="wapitiaddict, post: 1943069, member: 107569"] I got my Bartlein contoured barrel blank in from BlackJack. Very quick delivery. Ordered on Friday, here on tuesday. Quick question...The barrel has some very small nicks and scratches in it like maybe you'd get from it rolling across sand or grit. It's not a large amount though. I first though it was grit stuck to the barrel, because I could feel it as I rubbed my hand along it (not smooth). But they are small little nicks that you can feel. This is my very first custom blank that I've purchased so I just didnt know what to expect. My guess is that maybe this is normal stuff from the manufacturing and handling process and they expect any small imperfections to be cleaned up during the chambering/gunsmithing process. Or do they usually come pretty perfect? I'm not at all trying to make a big deal about this. I just have never had a blank before. If I was buying this as a factory rifle that was all finished then I would pick a different one. But again, I'm guessing on a blank you need to clean it up from tooling marks and handling anyhow. Educate me, pls. Haha [/QUOTE]
