Re: whats the best 5r Barrel
Why are you set on having an R?
What about Schneiders P? Broughton's C?
Just a bit of info....don't set your heart on an Oby!!! On August 28th will be 3 yrs I have been waiting for a 6.5 blank, that after a phone conversation saying he would have me one in 2-3 months!!!! He keeps telling me to "remind him", this after "my pc crashed and I lost your order", "will run a batch of 6.5's shortly","just need to finish this 500 blank contract for yada yada then I will do it" etc, etc!! Been waiting on another 30 cal blank for 19+ months. I gave up and got a 6.5 from Rock that Paul made a special effort to have to me in 5wks, 5wks is alot better than 3yrs and nothing, and forgot about having a spare 30 laying around. Boots' is a great guy to BS with etc but unless you can catch him with an extra blank in hand that will suit your needs you will just be pissed waiting and listening to his excuses. Been doing it for 3yrs now and never again. There are other barrel makers with just as good or better barrels. He is busy doing contract work for several alphabet agencies so the 1 or 2 orders aren't worth his troubles I have found out.
