[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 960320, member: 65338"] I just put 3 shilen barrels on 3 rifles. 2 chrome moly, one stainless with ratchet rifling. The stainless ratchet rifle barrel is very nice. The chrome moly barrels are pretty ugly inside. Tooling marks everywhere because Shilen does not hand lap their chrome moly barrels. They shoot pretty good, but copper foul like crazy. Can't even get them smoothed out with a lengthy barrel break in. Probably gonna end up lapping them to reduce the fouling. The stainlesss barrel came lapped and has no issues. All shilen SS barrels are hand lapped. If you are going to use a Shilen, I would STRONGLY recommend getting a stainless. [/QUOTE]
