SHORT THROAT OWNERS--Who's up for chipping in for a reamer to fix our issues?

[mccuistion]

Did you personally do the inspection, or did you personally talk to the person who examined the throat, or are you partly parroting third hand half-quotes?

Are you asking about "scrapped" as in tossed out, or "scraped" referring to an undefined "adjustment to a chamber"? The threads containing the casting image are still in the database and accessible. You are welcome to find them. If I recall correctly they are less than 60 days old, but may have been closed -- they are quite lengthy and repetitious.

If looking at a borescope picture of a throat with a caption that says "this is the liberty compound throat" is parroting third hand half-quotes then yes. Come to think of it... expressing the findings of the chamber casting would be parroting half-quotes also then, right? both instances examined one barrel and got conflicting results. "Scrapped" was a mistype, I was trying to ask if the cast was performed after Saturns "fix" was implemented because I would like to see a cast of that also.

I don't appreciate your hostility. However, I understand why there is this attitude towards any conversation regarding these barrels after the last several months events. At this point there is no dead horse left to continue beating.

As for the first part of the question, had one done any reasonable read-through it would be obvious that NO-ONE has claimed or hinted that ALL Liberty or AR Stoner barrels are or were out of spec. What is true is that the symptoms suggest that a significant number came out of the shop that way.

This means that a fair fraction WILL show the compound throat, and a number won't.

Is there a reason we seem to have trouble understanding this issue and bringing it up again every two weeks or so?

I have no idea what this comment is in response to... I didn't bring any of that up and don't intend on arguing with you over it, too many useless posts have already been devoted to the subject. The question was asked if the barrels have compound throats and I answered based on my experience and the barrel I received.

If I was asked the same question again, even after seeing the chamber castings, I would answer it the same way. If a company makes a barrel with the intention of giving it a compound throat, then those barrels have a compound throat; If a reamer gets dull and doesn't properly cut the throat that is a factory defect.

Maybe I misunderstood him, either way i'm over it and would like to focus on fixing my barrel not nit-picking other contributors.
