When I was building my brothers rifle I called White Oak and CLE. The lady at WOA was kind of short. Her basic message was "Why do you want a Kreiger? Our barrels turned off Wilson blanks shoot just as good, last just as long, and cost half as much, so if you just want the name we'll take your extra money.". Frank took 30-45 min of his time and explained all the differences in the blanks he uses, chambers he cuts and recommended for the intended use, the reason he doesn't offer rifle gas on certain 18" barrels, etc.
Are the WOA barrels as good? I don't know because I bought a Bartlein from Compass Lake.
