"They are capable of producing good rifle barrels. Douglas . is just a production barrel company and you will get a barrel that has never had a human eye look through it!" **********************************************************
I know for a fact this is not correct. They (Douglas) look through every barrel to pick out the straight ones. I can carry you to the spot in the shop where this is done. This has to be one of the dumbest statements I've ever read. Makes you wonder what Gale McMillan had as an agenda when he made that statement.
One thing to remember: just because a person has been in a business for years and has a well known name is no guarantee they are entirely objective. Everybody has prejudices against something or someone. It's just human nature. I don't like Schneider barrels because I don't like Gary Schneider. He's one of the rudest people I've ever met and I'm not going to do business with rude people. Has nothing to do with his barrels but I can buy a good barrel without dealing with him.
