Yes. Deductive reasoning on price points that low tells me the absolute minimum operations are being applied to the barrels.
Are they all crowned other than a rough cut?
What are they doing to control for inclusions?
Are the extensions square with the tennon shoulder?
Is the chamber cut concentric to the bore?
Is the bore concentric to the OD?
Are the threads concentric and square to the bore and OD?
I know a bit about what it takes to do all of the above, and it isn't simply a matter of hiring the lowest wage employee and telling him to hit execute on the CNC and expect magic to pop out.
I'm looking at 6.5 Grendel barrels on their site right now ranging in prices from $54.99 to $124.19.
Of course they shoot patterns. I wouldn't expect anything more.
