The lefty stainless Ruger Hawkeye 223s had the issue. JiminIdaho and the former member formerly known as Bricktop, before he got booted out of here, had one. Ruger had a batch of bad barrels but made it right.
Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, dickweed.
Yes, I had a bent barrel on my stainless Model 77 Hawkeye. Ruger replaced my barrel and next-day'd it back to me in exactly one month, door-to-door. I never shot the bent barrel, but the current rifle has been pretty damned accurate and I've managed to use it to put the smack down on a fair number of feral hogs over the past two years.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled circle jerk, Kenny.
