Looks like they improved the barrel. It’s not perfect, but at least it’s pretty darned straight. I noticed that endshake was out of spec, so I installed a .002 power custom bearing, and it’s perfect now. B/c gap is .004 with minimal end play.

This gun is now my new favorite. It handles the .44 magnum Silvertips well, which are my carry load. 210 gr. JHP @ 1250 is stout but controllable.

The perfect magnum for carry in my opinion.
Sent it back, and it still came back wrong. Had endshake that needed repair. This was all on a new gun???? Doesn't sound so perfect to me.
