The group buy Faxon is the cheapest barrel I ever bought. By paying a little more I would like to think I skew the odds in my favor that it is going to be right.
+1, my thoughts also. My earlier comment was simply that "we've all been there; learn and move on." From whom you buy is of course your own free decision but buyer be aware...
I looked at the MSDS sheet for the casting alloy. One reason I took that extra step is I rarely see an ad for something for sale, saying "please read the MSDS"... anyway this alloy has several heavy metals in it, and the processes of cutting, particle-making or dust-making, as well as if it gets a little bit "overheated" resulting in fumes... I don't want to go there. Neither Cadmium nor lead is a healthy thing for your lungs; I've got asthma and don't want any deeper issues, plus I have young grandkids running around. Don't want the introduction of this into the house environment. So I won't be doing any castings of chambers. Heavy metals have a tendency to accumulate in the body, they don't get removed.
That's something to ponder, however to each his own.
