Default RE: Barrels

When you are dealing with fully competent professional gunsmiths, there isn't much difference in the quality of the installation.
Boy, I wish I could find one of those. My gunsmith did an outstanding job on one barrel job. I mean he matched my FL die headspace by .001". No freebore at all with plenty of bullet in the case. I then got him to rebarrel another gun, and he took over a year. So I started to complain. Wish I didn't. He got it to me with nothing I asked for. I asked for a custom chamber, but he took a used reamer he borrowed, and I had freebore, and the gun doesn't shoot well. We had some words. And I didn't pay him all the money, and that was that. He's fully compentent when he wants to be. But when work piles up, beware.
