"There were never any JUNK Barrels."
I'm not quite sure I can agree with that.
Agreed, for if they weren't junk barrels - then they sure were junk specs! Twists too slow and throats sooooooooooooo long the bullet falls out of the case trying anywhere even 'close to' the rifling. The 1V I had, had the most beautifully figured stock I've ever seen ... too bad the barrel was crap ...
