Only bad Barrel I have is from Lilja it should have been culled and it must not have been gauged at all after lapping or they would have caught it. What was discouraging is they would not even respond to my Emails when I asked if there was anything they could do. This can happen to any barrel maker but most of them would try to make it right somehow or at least respond. Last Lilja for me.

"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
