That's what I suspect as well.
There's no reason for any custom barrelmaker to invest hundredthousands of dollars just to save time as they are able to charge the end customer for their time anywqay.
As I said before, I've seen hammerforged barrels perform extremly well on both Sako TRG's as well as Mannlicher SSG's so I know that given a decent operator and good ammunition they will perform.
Regarding the barrels on Huskvarna I checked it with a former employee of Huskvarna and he said that the barrels cut at least to his knowledge.
