You all know that when different companies contract for guns to be built they set the specs. So in my opinion all spanish barrels are not made equal.
I think that's a fair statement. They aren't all designed for 3 pellets as I understand it. Each has different dimensions (shape). So I think this is a given.
Perhaps some of these co. are doing some checking to be sure those specs are meet? Do we really know? Lee
It seems to me, that someone must be doing some checking. I have the sense that, if no one else is,BPI is doingthe checking. Does a retailer or distributor have the responsibility to test the manufacturer's compliance with specs? Maybe, but I think not. I think this rests with the manufacturer. Might be wrong about that though ( but if I had a gun shop i wouldn't want to be sued by someone because I sold a CVA product)
For my part, I wouldn't fear whether CVA, Traditions, etc. are testing. I would concern myself with whether BPI is providing tested products to them.
