You're right.But that's not the problem here.I've learned this much:
A good barrel will shoot most any thing it is SUPPOSED to shoot and will do it well.
Some barrels are finicky about their groceries , but are good for SOMETHING.
I haven't run across a completely worthless new barrel yet[unless this one proves to be it.]
If this rifle were not a gift , it would be someone else's problem already.
