after about a month somebody did finally answer the phone and i got an ok to return. then never heard anything for weeks. finally got somebody to answer the phone again. yeah, yeah, yeah, it had not even been sent to the service techs yet. terrible service.
after several months i did get it back and it looks ok.
did i mention terrible service?
That's a bummer. They were actually pretty quick to authorize a return for me, but the barrels I got were so bad that I can't even imagine how they got shipped out. The barrels I've gotten from them in the past have been decent, especially the Glock replacement barrels. Something has definitely changed there.
On the other hand, AR Stoner barrels from MidwayUSA have always been pretty good to me. I've used several to build uppers for myself and for friends and family. All have been consistent in quality and have shot far better than price would suggest.
