A better question for the maker might be what steps are taken to regulate the barrels before they are finished and shipped.
Do they even try? Are the guns test fired for regulation or do they simply induction braze things together and hope nobody complains? Can the customer specify the load used for regulation? What does the company consider adequate regulation?
I would expect a true 'custom gun' to shoot to point of hold with my specified load. How they hold the barrels together is quite secondary.
When is the last time you were aware of a gun making company that guaranteed regulation, that wasn't building bespoke guns? I agree completely in the need for such, but expecting it today is living in a dream world.
And lastly, suppose the gun when delivered cross fires by a foot. What recourse does the customer have?
Regulating them yourself by changing payload and velocity. I have personally witnessed huge changes and satisfactory results by doing so. Maybe not a foot, but I moved one 20 gauge 8" at 25 yards like this. Problem is that most people would rather b*tch and complain than try to do something about it themselves.
