I am thinking of using a Select Match Shilen or Krieger for my new build. Everyone seems to look at Shilen as a lesser barrel and I've noticed they seem to bring less money when the gun is sold. Why is that so? I noticed that the select match Shilen has tighter tolerances than the Krieger ( can't find specs on any other barrel makers). I know they are rifled different so that may be compareing apples to oranges. What is all the dislike about Shilen about?
The Shilen select match barrel's I have used over the last couple of decades have been as good or better than any, some bad rap has come because they sell lower line barrel's too but I have used a couple with great success. all but 2 of the bad custom barrel's that I have ever owned were Pac-Nor 3groove barrel's but you cant mention that on this site because the HONK's on the fire believe Pac-Nor as being GOD like, you mentioned Krieger just buy one of their's never had a bad one.
