Truce.
All I was doing was relaying my experiences with the same project that Daniel asked about (Ghost ring base on 590 barrel), and took your reply as a call of "Bullshit" ("warping is not an issue..."). Since there were several issues that I was ignorant of before I spoke w/Nu-Line about the work involved (strip bluing, fixture/braze, re-blue), I thought Daniel may need to know about these before proceeding. I didn't ask Nu-Line what the "special fixturing" is, it may just be a wedge stuck in the muzzle to keep it round, but I really don't know exactly what they do to alleviate this concern.
Nu-Line did the above described work for me, and also threaded for Win-choke tubes, and I'm very glad that I had it done (I drilled and tapped the receiver myself). In Hindsight, I'd have been better off starting with a ghost ring model 590, but am glad that I proceeded with the project. I've only shot one 3-gun match with it after the work, but with the IC tube and Ghost Ring, there was only one target that I had to hit twice - a big steel popper that I hit low the first shot. In our previous match w/ factory Cyl bore choke, I'd have to hit some of the longer the 4" square steel target shots multiple times before they fell, and that got quite frustrating. IC and GR was Rock-n-Roll!...
Cheers,
