[img]frown.gif[/img] I just received my sleeved barrel/receiver back from the Gun Rack and I am strongly disappointed with the workmanship. The sleeve is significantly off center at the muzzle and there is a gap between the end of the sleeve and the inside curve of the muzzle crown on one side, filled in with some kind of epoxy-like material. At the breech end, the sleeve is about 1/32" short and there is a burr protruding from the face of the original breech where the drill exited, another gap on one side and some crude grinding on the ramp at the bottom of the breech. There are other grinder gouges on the inside of the receiver where it looks like the grinder got away from the careless worker (craftsman does not apply) who worked on the ramp. On the positive side there are no marks on the external surfaces and the wait was not excessive (sent the barrel off on 11 July)
Bottom line: I would never, ever do business with this company again. KFS
