J&J Barrel Quality???
Hello All,
I have a question reguarding the quality of J&J Barrels. I recently told my local shop that I shoot a 14" 2 piece J&J Full Tilt Barrel [Dang that name sounds nice when you say it all =)] He gave a quick smile and said that the quality of the barrels are questionable. He reassured me that IF you do get a good barrel, then it will be a good barrel.
He said he called J&J Performance reguarding their manufacturing process, he calims that in their processing, they have large bulk 20 foot lengths of stainless piping being carried by 1 forklift. This will cause the pipe to bend in the midle sections and cause the end product to curve the ball (flatline barrel style). He siad that DYE would never do something like that which may forfeit quality and performance (which is why he sells ALL dye).
Has anyone heard of this? I would assume that most barrel companies would do the same in their manufacturing to cut costs. I also would believe that it wouldnt affect performace that much at all since, even if a bent piece was made, then the center would be rebored and honed to make a straight shot path.
But again online I have read online about J&J's bore to be unconsistent, starting with a 688 then wavering around to even as high as 691. I was thinking of going with the OH SO HYPED Boomstick, but then again, J&J has removable tips.
Let me know all what you think.
