Hence my general preferance for a decent 2nd hand barrel, come on, how many have you seen not damaged but out of tollerance?
I'm not too concerned about knackering a barrel, taking the crank out or playing russian roulette is the bit that I don't like.
However the last 2 I've seized were replates and didn't rip chrome off so my faith is somewhat restored.
