Just noticed a scary trend with aftermarket barrels

I've been getting more jobs where aftermarket barrels are causing accuracy issues. For example, a guy brought in a rifle that couldn't group shots at 50 yards. The barrel was from some no-name seller online. I mean, it's not just about money, it's a safety thing if the steel isn't right. Maybe we should start checking these more closely before installation. I'd love to hear how you guys test new parts.

My first aftermarket barrel was a doorstop in disguise.

Was that the one from that sketchy site with the crazy low prices? Heard nothing but horror stories about those.

Most of mine work fine if you skip the bargain bin.
