yes i know tim north the owner was getting out.i ran 9 of his barrels in different calibers.the originals plus his c barrel rifling.never had a barrel from tim that was not exceptional.i also was told that someone bought him out.that was awhile ago,waiting to hear about who and what they will offer.they will have a real challenge on there hands keeping to quality of tims barrels.there is another maker out there the last few years named dan muller,he worked with tim at broughton and also at rock creek.dans buisness is called mullerworks barrels,both button and cut rifled.i feel that as of right now they are the new standard in excellence.that being said you have more options now and quality makers its hard to go wrong.
