I have a Hawk Hills it is extremely good and there customer service is excellent I would buy another barrel from Shawn anytime . As for McGowan no way there customer service absolutely sucks never again.
I ordered a barrel from McGowan over a year ago paid in full upon ordering I was told 8 to 10 weeks called at 12 weeks and was told I didn’t even have an order I gave them my invoice number and he didn’t even have the guts to call me back sent me an email the next day with a new invoice number...
I got tiered of waiting since last summer tiered of excuses have went elsewhere probably not to return other brands are more than happy to work with customers have had good customer service from other suppliers
