I only have 1 Broughton barrel, but several of my friends have them. never heard anything but great reviews.
Only bad barrel's I have ever had were Pac-Nor's and they did not stand behind their's.
B My experience has been exactly the opposite.. In 13 years I got exactly ONE barrel from Pac-Nor that wouldn't shoot.. I sent it back for inspection and they found a problem inside. Within two weeks a new barrel was at my shop and they paid me to install it for the customer.. He's been happy ever since.. I'll use them again, any time..

This post is being made by Nat Lambeth. First, I don't appreciate anyone posting my name on a public forum making statements about another vendor or manufacture's product without my permission. I don't air my laundry on the internet. It is mine and my customers choice who's products we use. Yes, I was using Broughton Barrels for my customers who wanted Button barrels. No, I am not using Broughton Barrels personally, but if my customer wants to use a Broughton barrel that is their choice. All barrel makers have good and bad times. Materials and processes change. I have many customers who have had great success with their Broughton Barrels. I don't normally post on this site but I was referred to this post by a friend. Tim North and Broughton barrels deserves to be treated with respect and not maligned on the internet. I hope the moderator will remove it as it misrepresents the facts.

I pillar bedded my model 7 and glassed in the lug. The problems I hd was with the long throat. I rebarreled with a 20" Broughton 5C on both of my model 7s. The both now shoot in the .2s.

Nat, these guys are not as hard as they seem. They get a certain amount of pleasure in sticking the pin into somebody.
It may be funny, but how many of you posted how good something was?
What did you post when it went to shat?
One thing you can say is he didn't come on here cussing anybody's components. He just dealt with it and moved on.

What is supposed to be wrong with Broughtons? I still have a few kreigers on the shelf where I bought several to have around in anticipation of a price increase.....but it is almost time to order some more and was thinking of buying some broughtons. I have only cut four or fivr broughtons but they all cut nice and all shot and cleaned pretty well.

I've only one Broughton, a #3 chambered in 270 Winchester and it shoots extremely well,this is the first negative thing I've heard about them....no complaints here!
I'm sure Broughton barrel failures are rare and mostly internet hype!!

Would have to agree, this unsupported post will not sway my decision. I do not listen to half of what I read on the net.

I have only had two bad barrels, both were from barrel makers who, at one time or another, ruled the BR equipment list. The one from Texas made it right almost immediately and the one from the east coast, well, let's just say that they think their shat don't stink and I won't be doing business with them again.
