Well, I think we have a unique chance to find out a little truth on this subject. There a restocked Boss coming up at Gavin Gardiners. The work was done by Boss, so it's as good as it gets. The gun also has new bbls, again by Boss.

It seems pretty clear new barrels have an impact on price. There have been numerous discussions about the impact of this and sleeving here and elsewhere.
