Yes on test fire by builder I asked specifically for him to fire new Hornady and send me the test rounds. Did he see the markings? I would hope that slipped past him or he would not have sent it. He is a reputable builder but i doubt he is doing other than drop in building. I got it on Fri noticed the brass and wasn't able to get a response yet so I am counting on his reputation being as good as it sounds and yes a new barrel would be in order. My bad was not seeing the older poor reviews on the tight throat and other things that would have steered me off. I would guess a proper barrel should most likely be fine for the money I spent the rest of the upper is nice well built and good fit and finish. I included in my email to him that it would be an option for me to either change out to a comparable barrel maker at the price point like a Faxon or Wilson but we shall see where that goes. It is hard when you try to research with the massive amounts of good bad and just crapslinging on the internet so well sometimes you win sometimes not. I am just trying to get other input besides just me so i treat him fairly and I get fair product for my money that's all.
