How are the Olympic Arms AR15 barrel?

It is difficult to get OLY AR stuff here in Canuckistan. OLY used to have a Canadian presence, but not much lately. So, OLY stuff is basically UNOBTAINIUM up here, unless you stop by the Puyallup Wa gun show. Sometimes a few of the OLY employees have a booth there. This is NOT an official OLY sponsored booth .... just some of the OLY guys selling OLY stuff in their spare time.
I've built a few dozen ARs from OLY parts kits, including a few VERY accurate target grade rifles with some of the OLY high end barrels ...eg" SS FLUTED. They shot well enough, but were VERY tightly chambered, and required a few hundred rounds of break in before becoming totally reliable.

The accuracy of their barrels is about the only thing that generates praise of Olympic Arms on the interweb.

I've never seen one but I've only read bad things until now.
