Yeah I guess you're right Falcon, after the fire they had some quality control issues. And the hammer springs for every TC I have owned has always been on the weak side. But I never had a single problem with ANY of my barrels from them. I currently have 6 barrels for my PH frame and a Hawken. Every one of them, including the .50cal barrel for the PH and the Hawken barrel, are tack drivers. But I did use Mike's accuracy system but that's the nature of the beast when it comes to interchangeable cartridge platforms. It would be physically impossible to perfectly mate every single barrel to every single frame without some wiggle room. They were all "accurate enough" before I did the mods but now all of them will group well within an inch at 100 yards.
