What sort of checks and balances do we have in this country to insure these guns whose barrels have been altered in some way (such as barrel honing, opening of chambers, etc) are safe? How do we know if a pro did the work or some clown in his garage with a brake hone? Well, let me tell you...we don't and the average joe on the street doesn't know jack sh*t about it and is rolling the dice when purchasing an altered gun. We can and should do better than this IMHO.
SIMPLE:
Never Ever buy altered guns that have visited a barrel butcher......measure everything........product knowledge......
As an EXAMPLE, I've never bought a gun that has had even a recoil pad added, ever....never will.........zero interest in guns with other owner's modifications of any kind.......too many good originals around, why buy the butchered ones.....
