[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1149089, member: 1521"] Export -to USA. Well, this according to both builders who said they sent my stuff, but neither could make any guesses about border issues. One of them was 'Prairie Gun Works' at the time(now PGW DEFENCE TECHNOLOGIES INC). Big order with them paid up front. The other, Bill Leaper, I sent him custom actions, barrels, reamers, dies, etc for finishing. Work paid for. He had no reason to lie about finishing my work and sending out. Both said they had, and internet chatter at the time implied border gun snatching by Canadian government. Either way, I did my part in this twice in a row, and 'that side of the border' let me down twice in a row. The two barrels I had(still have one) which were claimed to be polygonal, but were not at all, - Schneider, Pacnor. The Schneiders (3) were for a Tubb2000, 6XC. The Pacnor(1) is on my Browning in 6br. True polygonal does not have raised lands, radiused, canted, wore out, or otherwise. If your barrel does, it's not polygonal, regardless of merchandising.
