[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 856366, member: 12995"] I've never had problems with Douglas barrels in the past...They're about the only manufacturer that will actually warranty their barrels for life from mfg defects. If you buy their Premium Air-Gauged blanks you shouldn't have a problem. They're hand selected and air-gauged to .0001" in straightness. I have no problems using a Douglas Air-Guaged blank, personally. My smith is old school and swears by them. He's worked and installed every brand of barrel known to man, and he still swears by the old Douglas 5-groove barrels. I'm sure there's bound to be a few lemons leaking out there somewhere. With everything man-made, there's bound to be some lemons out lurking out there. But, if I get a few good checks between now and the time I order my blank for my .280 AI, I'll probably go with a stainless fluted Rock Creek 5R, just because I've never owned one, and heard so much about them. I also forgot McGowan on that list, too. [/QUOTE]
