I always mark the barrel maker as well as my own name on the hidden underside of all the barrels I install, even if I hafta mark it 'unknown rebarrel by....' instead of 'Badger by...."

I don't have any hoop strength numbers either but have been hearing urban legend since the '60s that 12L14 is unsuitable, as is Stressproof. It's my understanding that the lead added for better machinability is also responsible for the unsuitability but I'm no metallurgist.

You can lead a man to logic but you can't make him think. NRA Life since 1976. God bless America!
