Hmm.. Cheap proof barrels …
Barrels are throw away, but nothing is cheap these days.
I always scope and slug (check and measure bore consistency) before I start machining so I can send it back if I have too…
Like the guy said earlier - look hard at your scope mounting gear 2 or 3 times before moving to tear things apart…
If you are a smith and know how to slug & Lap a bore (given you chamber it)… that would be your next step IMHO.
Or start over with a new barrel… ouch.
If the new barrel really was that bad, Bartlein might still swap it out after you threaded & chamber it… but it will probably get a turned up eyebrow…
