I picked one up when they were on sale. Glad my barrel looks like the picks above. Thought for a minute I had a bad barrel. Read somewhere that said don't look inside the barrel if it's shooting good. When you see a production barrel (see pics above), your going to think you have a bad barrel. My 308 shoots awesome. I think it's because of the carbon build up on the rail road tracks inside my barrel. I'm leaving it. Can put 3 in a quarter at 100 yards. When it opens up, will clean it then. It's a great tool though. Well worth the money.
