As far as lilja Barrels, there is not doubt they make a good barrel, but they are at a higher cost ($340 for a blank) than most cut rifled barrels, for my money I would get a Brux, Krieger, or Bartline (Cut rifled) any day of the week over a high dollar button rifled barrel like a Lilja, or a Hart. In my opinion Shilen is a great deal in button rifled barrels, getting a chambered barrel for the cost of a blank, is hard to compare apples to apples.
