thats true. YOu put out a run of bad barrels, and all the sudden, that can stick with you. I am sure all of em have it happen. Espeically now that places like sinclair keep them all in stock.

I know my last krieger copper fouled pretty bad. If you looked down the barrel, (especially with borescope)you could see the cut marks from thier single point cut technique. I figured if its hand lapped, you really should be able to see that? It was uniform cut. With that barrel also, I builtup alot of pressure quickly. So I couldn't top out max loads in it. I have been a krieger believer for a long time. But not so sure now.
