Forgive me if my preface highlighted anything less than a real question. I am asking sincerely is barrel quality in the blank or the fit and finish ? Surely you need some element of both. Certainly you wouldn’t send it to Joe Blow to finish the project- but are the roots that deep on a project like this? Using a Roush block does not make a Roush engine. Certainly doesn’t mean the Roush block isn’t quality or doesn’t represent a premium start. I am not judging the barrel maker or suggest Roush makes the best engines either. I am just asking if the roots are that deep.
EDIT :
Thinking about this I guess I missed the original point that this was a purchased barrel to use by another gunmaker delivered as is. I believe I considered it removed from a shop “partially finished” or “misc part”. I wasn’t thinking “new old stock”
