<lmao> Thats exactly what went wrong yesterday....put chicken breasts on to smoke...come back out and black smoke is puffing out the chimney,,,looked inside and the chicken had black soot on em,,,tossed em in the garbage and we went out for dinner. today took the chimney off and it was plugged up with tar and soot from 4 years of smokin. scrubbed down the whole damn smoker today wonderful blue smoke for the ribs. :) Wash

JT here's a copy of forum speak....you are good to go! <lmao> Wash They are in Kalispell, Montana. My father-in-law's cousin started the business for the owner with his brother and former lead salesman for Mcgowen barrels. I have seen their operation from the start of wiring up the new building to setting the machinery and getting all the bugs hashed out. They are dedicated to making high quality barrels with the best steel money can buy. The owner has invested a ton of money in a top of the line drill and prgrammable CNC machines. Their barrels are button pulled by a special machine my father-in-law's cousin designed. The hydraulic arm pulls the button through the bore in a constant controlled speed motion for the entire length. The barrels are hand lapped by experts and the barrels are heat treated to relieve stress. The tolerances for their high end barrels are every bit as tight as Hart or Lilja. If any of you have looked inside one of their barrels with a bore scope, you can attest to the hand lapping quality. The very faint lapping lines all run perfectly with the twist of the grooves. Everyone who has shot one of their barrels has given great reviews of phenomenal accuracy. I have a 6mm 1 in 8" twist X-caliber barrel on a 6XC that I plan to shoot once the stock is finished. They were going to price their barrels much higher originally, but when we were talking about it, I suggested they start low until they get their name out there due to the amount of quality competition. Would be hard to get a piece of the pie with high prices against known quality manufacturers. So they are pricing them low right now to build a name for themselves. The prices will go up eventually as good reviews and demand continues to rise. So if you are planning on trying one, now is the time to order. They have produced a few barrels for some of the top 1K BR Willaimsport shooters to test out, Leo Anderson being one. We have yet to hear back from Leo, but hope to hear good things as Leo will scrutinize the barrel in every way before taking the time to even mount the barrel on an action. NEMO firearms (the company that makes 300 win mag AR's) has a contract with them as well. They are making almost all of the barrels for NEMO right now. Although I have not shot one yet myself because my rifle is not ready, I believe they are a barrel you can buy with confidence. If anything is ever wrong with it, I know they will do everything to take care of your concerns and replace it if need be. They are committed to excellent customer service. If you have any detailed questions or concerns, you can let me know and I will get a hold of Gary (father-in-laws cousin) to get you the answers you need. You can also call them directly and they are always more than willing to spend all the time you need to answer all of your questions. Ask for Gary Sutton. Take care. « Last Edit: 06:03 PM, 03/04/15 by Ledd Slinger » Logged

Hey Ronin welcome to the forum ! My opinion on your build list is $hitcan the 80% lower and get one thats finished...matching lower would be nice $hitcan the JP buffer and start with a DPMS buffer and spring. I drink the Geissele kool aid too...I have this trigger...nice, but the Mech Armor trigger for bout half the price is sweet ! :) Wash

I always put just a tiny bit of moly on the lugs if its a brand new weapon...then use Slick 50 or m-pro 7 oil....always works for me after shooting come back and clean her up making sure no baked on oil or moly found its way into the chamber. Im not anal on what oil to use on a new rifle...as long as its not too thin...Mobil Shmobil...if the guns right ,and you know where to lube ,you can use Briggs and Stratton 4 cycle oil :) Wash
