I don't have anywhere near the experience with barrels as some who have commented. That said I have them and have had great pleasing results from Rock Krieger Bart Lilja and Pac Nor. I can't tell any difference between button and cut. One of the Bartliens seems to clean the best(even compared to other cut barrels from same and other makers) and the easiest no fuss just wildly accurate barrel has been a Lilja.


If I wanted a stainless barrel smaller than a Bart 2b I wouldn't think twice about calling Lilja.
