Frankly I read nothing but BS in your post and no credibility is given to anything else you have said!
the guns can be shipped here easily under large commercial shipments, single shipments to private citizens without the proper paperwork can be hard to get past our border customs. even shiping scopes can be tricky if you arent "authorized". if you are thinking this is bs, your not the only one trust me.
all production barrels are cut at one point or another, even hammer forged and button rifled barrels. if they are left rough, the mandrel or button die will not fix the problem across the lands, although the process does take some of the roughness out. if you have looked down any new production barrel that hasnt been lapped you will see what im talking about. another problem can be that if loose chips and dust is left in the barrel, it will ruin the mandrel and the chips will be embedded in the lands and grooves.
