I'd be interested in hearing their opinion, too.

I could see a production run/batch of barrels slipping through with some "chatter marks" caused during production, or something about a run of slides where the integral bushing ended up having machining imperfections that caused the resulting wear marks.

I've seen my share of barrels where the production left some odd markings on the barrel exteriors. Things that were spots of shallow surface imperfections on the exterior, caused during machining, which were more cosmetic issues than anything of a functional problem.
