In rifle or smooth?? The only Long Hammock barrel I ever had a problem with was a .32 rifled barrel. It had deeper chatter marks on the sides of the lands than I was comfortable with. I know that Chambers buys his smoothies, after persuading him to upgrade the quality, but his .32's are the only rifled barrels I have heard any complaint on, other than you. I have heard of a couple of other complaints regarding customer service. You posted maybe a couple of years ago about a rough barrel, and I believe you, entirely, but stuff happens. It is how the problem is handled that is my issue with them. Long Hammocks main problem seems to be the lack of customer service, and the general attitude presented when there is a problem. I once thought that Riley and I were friends, not tight, but I have known his dad for many years. A fine honest man to have as a friend, but the .32 cal barrel problem showed me that the son of a friend, is not necessarily also a friend. I sincerely hope that things are back on the right track now.
