IMHO,Douglas and Lilja are largely birds of a feather and that isn't condemnation
But so are a Chevette and a Corvette,lol. The thing I cant get over with this issue is the miniscule price differance between the differant makes. Why not buy the best? Why have to settle for a barrel that fouls? Why not have the piece of mind that the barrel your buying is going to clean easy and shoot well the first time?
