In a nutshell:
Satern used to supply barrels to Alexander Arms. They no longer do.
They decided to use a Non-SAAMI reamer for their barrels, and a group buy here using that reamer showed mixed results.
They did not handle the subsequent issues to the satisfaction of some of the members here, thus leading to hard feelings.
The simple truth is that buyers should get what they expect to get. Anyone buying directly from a barrel maker should be sure that they are getting what they expect.

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
