A better question for the maker might be what steps are taken to regulate the barrels before they are finished and shipped.

Do they even try? Are the guns test fired for regulation or do they simply induction braze things together and hope nobody complains? Can the customer specify the load used for regulation? What does the company consider adequate regulation?

I would expect a true 'custom gun' to shoot to point of hold with my specified load. How they hold the barrels together is quite secondary.

And lastly, suppose the gun when delivered cross fires by a foot. What recourse does the customer have? Is this in writing?
