[QUOTE="Clucknmoan, post: 1345171, member: 80034"] I have been around some that shot, so I took a chance last fall. Fell into the same trap, needed a quick turnaround so I went for it. First barrel fouled like crazy and never quit for the 70 or so rounds I put through it. Wouldn't shoot anything better than about 1 moa. Called the manufacturer, talked to them and sent some pics. They told me to send it back an assured me that warranty work went to the front of the line. Checked in with them a few weeks later and they conformed that the barrel was bad. Didn't tell me what was wrong with it. 13 weeks later, they finally send me a new barrel after I started bugging them every week and got fairly irritated. New barrel does the exact same thing. Call them up again and they tell me they got a bad batch of barrels. Not sure how I got 2 bad barrels out of this batch or how it took them 4 months to find out they had a bad batch. They did refund my money. I will never take a shortcut again on a barrel. I know there are other good ones, but it will take a lot of convincing to not go with Brux or Bartlien from here on out for me. [/QUOTE]
