Gleason.chapman - it must be quite a challenge to shoot a FL with great accuracy. I guess you become so accustomed to the flash-in-the-pan that it becomes second nature to block that out? I've never fired one. I am impressed with the GM barrel I bought. Do you think there are slight differences between barrels which are specked the same by a manufacturer? Enough to produce a variance in shooting results? Will you be giving the new barrel a bore paste treatment followed by seasoning before you shoot it? Sabotloader had a good post on the procedure about this time last year. I followed his procedure. Maybe he still has that. Good luck with it. I look forward to seeing some results posted here.
