Yes, I do think that not being stamped with “Bergara” on the barrel might mean the barrel is inferior. How much, I do not know. Probably it’s by a small amount as you and MD feel.

I get that a company will rebrand the same product to target a certain price point. Wine is a great example, as you can have three different labels coming out of the same vineyard with the same production process. But it is not always the case that the product is of the same quality. In this instance it seems that at least one process is skipped in the non-Begara barrels. Whether it is a negligible process (as you say) may be up for debate. Begara seems to think it’s a big enough deal to brag about. My guess is that if asked, CVA would claim it’s a worthwhile process.

I think most would consider that safety is the #1 concern. Solely with regard to safety, I can agree that all the barrels coming out of the Bergara facility are the same, assuming the same grade of steel is being used. MD says that’s the case, fine with me.
