[QUOTE="Sneuses, post: 2939090, member: 88700"] I was talking with my smith this Wednesday in fact regarding Bartlein barrels. He was reaming one out for a customer and ran into a hard spot. I asked what’s a hard spot and he defined it as a spot where the reamer would not cut thru. He stated he only ran four barrels on this reamer and had no problems with any. Called bartlein and he sent it to them it sat there for twelve weeks with a man waiting on his custom build. I would scream!!! Anyway the smith recovered the barrel and called the place that he purchased the reamer and they stated there have been a few issues with bartlein barrels and his was not the only one they accepted the barrel and completed the job. Needless to say I went Brux for my barrel purchase, just what I heard. I know there are always issues with a custom build but there are a lot of quality barrel manufacturers out there with quality craftsmanship. I have always heard nothing but good stuff about Bartlein but this raises my eyebrows. Good luck with your build and I hope it’s a shooter! [/QUOTE]
