Not a big deal but it kinda lets you know it's a budget barrel even if you paid $267 shipped. Maybe my expectations are too high.
Wow, I just have to compare to the forum barrel/bolt offers. Roughly same $$$, SS barrel, super clean extension, properly packaged, AA Bolt. Just don't see the Liberty barrels as a good value in comparison. My 16" is shooting very well in my carbine. I guess the fluting would be one difference in the Liberty, don't know if that's an option in the forum deals.
