Thanks for the reply on the Brux. Was Brux notified? What did they say?
I'm quite surprised, everyone lets a lemon out every now and then, but if true that is a disturbing trend and odd that your smith got a pile of bad ones. I shot Palma and LR with a lot of the guys from Kreiger and Brux and have never heard any complaints about the quality of the barrels. Long lead times, yes but not quality.
