I agree that they must get pissed with muppets at times. But I think most sensible/realistic people will get a few others to confirm their suspicions like Ginga has done, before going back to them.
Firing 250 rnds on a barrel that has an expected life of say 1500 is pointless. Good barrels in my experience shoot well, straight away. I know of quite a few from the above mentioned, that have not performed. I have a grand or so tied up in stainless tubing that is not good for much other than maybe some expensive tomato stakes

Yeah mate I'm not promoting trueflight at all though the ones Iv had anything to do with have been fine and also not casting dispersions no Gingas issues at all . Any make or model of anything will have duds. I just have a strange obsession for problem fixing. The vulcan I have is fine.

I knew where you were coming from the whole time. Dunno about your obsessions but agree with the strange part

Ha! Ha! I doubt getting out of the fart-sack early on a hunting trip will ever be one though.
