@eurodriver
To clarify

I bought it about 9 years ago
Shot about 500 rounds through it at that time
Mostly sb factory 55gr
Then I put it aside at that time and haven't shot it since
As I said
Sample of one delton 9 years ago
Tight chamber but shot about moa fresh out of the box
Others seemed to have more issues

I've moved on to other manufacturers since 9 years ago

Also my barrel was ordered as chrome lined
So perhaps not useful information since
Op asked about non cl

Not wanting a thumbs up, just an honest answer. I’ll be placing an order from BA later today.

Cutting a .223 chamber into an AR barrel is cheap way to bump up accuracy at the expense of reliability. Why do you think all the shit tier companies like Shrubmaster and DPMS always need to get their barrels reamed? When the internet version of an awesome barrel is a sub-moa 3-shot group of course the bottom feeders are going to cheat.

over 500 rounds - no issues except, did not like my reloads so it has a tight chamber and taught me that I need a Full Length resizing die.
Not sure about their quality now

@akdoug - what Deltons have you shot?

Isn't a tight chamber dangerous? I don't see how you can give a barrel a good review while at the same time saying it has a tight chamber.
