This is what is so frustrating for me. The McGowan barrel shoots worse groups than the factory barrel taken off the gun, which I have no idea how many rounds have been shot through it. I also bought a .223 blued, fluted from Northland for (by the way, Thirty06 is my father-in-law) my Father-in-law and this barrel will out shoot this "high dollar" barrel all day long.

By the way, Jim has contacted McGowan and gone to bat for us on this concern, and I just wanted to mention how much I appreciate Jim and all his hard work!!!!
