[QUOTE="RobC, post: 367112, member: 687"] I bought a 10/22 barrel from Hi Desert Dog a few years back. I installed the barrel, threaded my Warlock on, loaded a couple of rounds into the magazine then fired them into the bullet trap here in the house. The second round key-holed the target. I cleared the rifle, removed the suppressor, and sure enough, a bullet had grazed the last baffle and the endcap. It was just enough to leave a noticeable mark on both but not enough to cause any real damage. I got very lucky. Upon closer inspection, the threads were not concentric to the bore. It took a micrometer to tell but it was far enough off that it caused that strike. I called Hi Desert Dog up and explained what had happened and he very quickly sent me a replacement barrel. He even offered to get the suppressor repaired. I did not feel that it was necessary but I was impressed that he offered anyway. The barrel that he sent me was perfect and now has several thousand trouble free rounds through it. I would buy another from him, especially since he has started doing this stuff full time. The "Gem-Tax" refers to the letter that Gem-Tech allegedly sent to ATF seeking clarification on alterations and repairs to silencers. There are a lot of theories and accusations about the reasoning for the letter, but you can read them for yourself on Silencertests. Anyway, ATF came back with a FAQ stating that if any change is made to the tube, that it constitutes a new suppressor and needs another stamp. The extra $200 stamp is called the "Gem-Tax".
