[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2928783, member: 3099"] Some random thoughts: 1) If you would have ordered from their website you'd have the items by now. 2) NOBODY is mag particle inspecting bargain priced sporting type barrels. Sorry. They just aren't. That process alone will add $75 to the price of a barrel in and of itself and would constitute a serious choke on delivering product by the manufacturers. And I highly doubt the top tier barrels are either unless it's a military contract production run. For the MP test to mean anything at all each and every barrel has to be tested. A spot check every so often is utterly meaningless. NDT can't be done by just any trained monkey making $12 an hour either. ASNT certifications aren't easy to get, they take a lot of time, effort and OJT to get a Level 2 cert. A Level I cert is probably equivalent to a bachelor's degree, Level II a masters and Level III, a PhD. The subject matter involves lots of physics, math, engineering and metallurgy. To sign off an NDT test in aerospace, one has to have a Level II cert. Some companies do MP test bolts, barrel extensions and the like but I highly doubt they are tested by certified NDT inspectors, and it means absolutely nothing IMO unless they are. It's just marketing BS. 3) I personally like it that they place the customer standing in front of them at a higher priority than a ringing phone. 4) Sorry to rain on anybody's parade thinking they have the most battle hardened milspec piece of kit...
