I personally order from McGowen with no middle men!
So far I have recieved 10 barrels with "NO" issues at all! I did have one where the barrels nut was tight on the threads and sticking, but a little common sense corrected this issue in about 3 minutes! 10 barrels . . . I have won 3 overalls this year with my McGowen's and several friends are ordering them because of this! In one of the matches, three of us placed, all using McGowens!
Not taking up for McGowen, but I know they had to go to a double shift due to the amount of barrels their selling! It's a good problem to have, but they told me they were going to set a limit on the barrels produced per month just to control quality!
I keep using them as all of my barrels shoot sub MOA with ease, even my 338 edge!
As far as the muzzle break, that's up to you! Many put a stainless barrel on a blued action! I am in the process of doing this now! They only thing I will state if I were using this as a hunting rifle, I would want all of it blued! Otherwise it wouldn't matter to me! JMO
