Purchased a new shilen barrel from a popular mail order site. It is a standard 6 groove stainless match in .243. I'm concerned because
there is copper fouling at the end of the barrel and I can tell it's been threaded into a receiver. Don't have a borescope to inspect further
I've heard Shilen does a 1 shot function fire test,would this account for what I'm seeing or did I get something that was used, returned,
and restocked. I would think a function fired barrel would be cleaned good before it was sent out the door? This is my first savage pre-fit,
any comments from those that have purchased new barrels?
