If I thought there was something wrong with my barrel, then I would report it. But my barrel seems to mirror others experience of them not lasting as long, but being deadly accurate. I knew and expected that when I bought it. When I order the next he will get my praise on the performance of the last one- so long as it performs as how it has for the last 1000 rounds. I do have few ideas on how to improve the barrel life next time. And if it works as good as the last one, it wont get used as much for week to week shooting.
