[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 2454291, member: 10284"] So would feel more comfortable having a smith that is capable/willing or one that is not capable/willing to work on your barrel? Is it worth the extra time it takes for precision work and knowing that it was done correctly? Or would you take a $350-$400 barrel, and spend another few hundred bucks, to one that might or might not get it right and take the chance because you don't have to wait as long? I think most would answer "I'll wait for it to be done right". I've installed a couple of off brand barrels that I got cheap years ago, that were pretty crooked and one shoots very well and one is mediocre. It's crap shoot at that point. These days, the top barrel makers have their process down, and most barrels are pretty straight. If I got one that was so bad that I couldn't get it to indicate true at both ends, it would go back to them before I even took a cut. [/QUOTE]
