Well after bending the other barrel until it was visibly bent to get it to shoot center I scrapped it and installed a Green Mountain .36 barrel yesterday. I am going to shoot it after work tomorrow and hopefully all will be well because I really like the resr of this rifle

Bill,
    I would be very surprised if you are not extremely satisfied with your GM barrel.
I got GM .45 IBS barrel several years ago,and it is the best shooter out of all the
rifles I have. Had to wait for a production run to get my barrel,so it took eight months to get it. Best of luck with yours. :shake [/color]

I couldn't be happier with my rifle now. I didn't even have to adjust elevation. The first shot is the left in the target. I adjusted the front sight a little and put 5 more shots in the target. Range was 35 yards and I had a makeshift rest so I figure that wasn't too bad. As soon as it warms up I will finish fine tuning it.[attachment=0:17nr8uj8][/attachment]0311151634a-1-1.jpg[/attachment:17nr8uj8]

Reviving this old thread.

Who made the first barrel that was so poorly done?
