[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1863643, member: 24284"] I don't see LW listed on any BR equipment list............ Your posts sound more like you're trying to convince yourself instead of gathering the opinions of others, who actually do barrel fitting. You never mention what action you want to use, or what stock / trigger/ optics you will be using. You seem to be hung-up on automation, also. There's nothing wrong with the 'smiths that use CNC to chamber with. But, after having spent 45 yrs. in manufacturing machining, I feel confident in saying that "automation" doesn't necessarily mean better. many times it just means faster or at lower overall cost, as the cost of en employee has been replaced with a one time cost of a machine. LW makes a OK barrel, but I see no true competitors using them. Ya', a good barrel and barrel fitting is important, but there's a lot more to hitting a milk jug at a mile. Pre-fits are [I][B]manufactured [/B][/I]to screw onto every action that they are made for. In my book, that is far from a custom, one on one fit. [/QUOTE]
