I have had 5 done by IDT and one in progress. Every one shoots to my expectations, I have two rifles with cut rifle barrels installed by smiths of a decent reputation and one Hart and the IDT smithed Douglases shoot just as well. To be fair none of my rifles is bench gun so if your goal is too shoot .2MOA then my experience doesn't apply.

My only wish for ITD is that he had reamers that cut the throats in a seperate step so I could get custom throating. Perhaps Dave has some reamers that do so but he hasn't had them in the two cases I have asked.

As for me I am very likely to go back to ITD for my next barrels.




The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
