Johara a bad barrel will occasionally get out but 3 out of six. Whoo nellie,I would be buying barrels from another maker.

Hart, Krieger, Shilen, all the good barrel manufacturers will bend over backwards to make sure you are getting the best barrels they can produce.

Yea, like the name of the barrel maker you're impugning. If you're going to publicly declare you have a problem, then you should publicly name them.

Otherwise, it's like posting a 'For Sale' ad, with the ad contents saying "PM me for details and price".

Has the manufacturer been contacted ? Have they tried to make things right ?

Yes they tried to make it right but not for the third time in a row.Maybe you should order a year ahead so they they can make one with out flaws. Best to try an other mfg........jim
