There have been a number of gun companies use the "Roto Forging" process. It is more expensive to be sure but IMO the concentricity and stress relief are 2nd to none. I had an Roto Forged Ithaca shotgun barrel threaded for a set of aftermarket choke tunes one time...and was amazed that there was complete threading with no wall failure...even though the 6 lb Ithaca's barrel was half as thick as all the 7 1/2 lb Remingtons going thru the shop. I think it was Steyr that used to sell a roto forged barrel that had had the swirls left on the barrel and the tool marks polished out and always thought that was a great looking barrel treatment.
