janner Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Well that does look nice looks like it shoots ok to have found the begara barrels o.k. They machine well enough and are a viable less expensive tube for the shooter on a budget. However the bores are not lapped after rifling and still exhibit cross hatching type marks throughout them from when the bores are cylindricaly honed after drilling.This means that they will show a little more copper deposition than say a hand lapped Border/ Walther/True flite/ kreiger etc. As for longevity ,we have not had that many through the workshop to give a defffinitive answer. However we are able to meet our sub 0.5 inch guarentee and the clients are very happy . I suppose if I were hyper critical I would argue that the fluting is a little crudely finished and could be a little more tidily finished , but thatys a personal gripe on my part. If I were given the choice I prefer to support Border Barrels as a British supplier with either Archer or Border tubes. We have been working very closely with Lee over the past months and we have never had a substandard barrel from them. Plus the fact We like to support our British suppliers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
