talking about barrels i am partial to the dlask barrels as i own a couple ,one of them having screw in chokes . a well made barrel with the barrel length stamped on the side and i doubt if you could dent it as it is thick walled . i also have a chinese made barrel and one of the things i noticed about it is there is no real chamber in it .it is one smooth interior surface from one end to the other .any one else notice this? the dlask barrel is the better made of the two, better sight, better finish, heavy walled and proper chamber . i would be buying one of them ahead of the chinese barrels if quality matters to you.
