[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1797352, member: 5302"] Mram10us: "I don’t know of any factory standard contour barrels that don’t string some as they heat up" It's not the contour's fault. Receiver faces are not squared up. Their high point puts more stress on the barrel at that point causing more barrel whip in that direction as metal expands heating up. People have squared up receivers then shimmed the factory barrel to headspace and no more stringing as barrels heat up. [/QUOTE]
