Hi Sneeze. Thanks for the offer but a few people have a had a go (who know what they are doing) with it now with no luck so I am binning it.
No worries its your call.
Had terrible after sales advice/service on a couple other duds.Quote:

Well it does NOW..... was more humourous before you replied though
It wasn't humorous being told to fire half the value of the barrel in ammo down the friggin things before they would MAYBE shoot.Quote:

heh yeah., you know my sense of humour
You gotta have a little sympathy for barrel makers though, they must have to deal with their fair share of muppets who just plain cant shoot but think they are all that and a bag of chips blaming perfectly good barrels.
Can't see why not? Brownells is happy to ship themQuote:

What's a good make of barrel? Flying my flag with a Vulcan in 7 SAUM at the moment. Here's hoping.
Bartlein are pretty much the only barrels worth owning as far as I'm concerned. Of course, that may change in the future but for now you can't go past them.
Hope you're not in a hurry though :)
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.Quote:

I think the Bartleins are in the container behind the Geovid HD-Bs on the slow boat to NZQuote:

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.Quote:
