Unless you know he has turned some quality chambers then I would avoid the offer. He needs to account for the run-out, not only the barrel but the machine itself. How patient and careful he is in eliminating run-out is a big deal.

Shilen sell three grades of 'Match' barrel. Two are stainless and the cheapest is chrome moly.
