And the fact of the matter is, that article did provide a very solid PROOF base. It provided documentation, not just some people's beliefs but actual proof, and a very solid argument about how these barrels aren't proofed in any way. It's enough for me to never buy a product produced by any of the companies. Of course there are guys with CVA's that have never had a problem. But I for one would not like to be the "lucky lotto" winner that gets the one that will go BOOM in my face.
Nobody has proved a Bergara barrel blew up due to a faulty barrel. I'm be willing to bet all the cases were owner error, and of course they'll lie about it to collect money. CVA pays off to keep off the negative publicity. It doesn't mean they're guilty.
Has anybody tested the Bergara barrel with proper loads, and blew it up? Proper loads meaning not more than 150gr of BP, or subs, and not more than 120gr of BH 209 which is a magnum load.
