I’m looking at a few options to spin up a cut-rifled shouldered barrel for a Bighorn Origin. I’ve broken it down to three workshops, LRI, CORE, and PVA...
My question is this... The guys over at Core are able to spin up a pre-fit in 3-5 days and the smiths performing the work are highly regarded in the industry. Whereas the PVA Barrel is anywhere from 16–22 weeks.
What am I missing? Is there any reason why people are lining up for a PVA prefit as opposed to using Core or LRI or any other number of smith’s? What are they doing differently?
