This isn't the first time I've heard/read this. White Oak said this to Pappabear too if I remember right. The BEST pin jobs are reamed to where just half of the ream hole is in the barrel. COLT, BCM, etc. I've seen shit manufacturers where the pin hole is completely in the barrel. WTF?
(Also, I have an ADCO custom cruiser. Their work is American Mediocrity epitomized. Looks like a high school shop student did it)

I remember that old Bushmaster of Maine used to have the taper pin holes completely through the barrels, though I never had any issues with their accuracy. And just recently (maybe not surprisingly) I received a brand new Windham Weaponry 20" A2 profile barrel and I was miffed to see that the taper pin holes were completely through the barrel. Despite this, I believe their barrels are the best of the commercial grade manufacture's barrels. I just wish they would correct this in future runs of barrels because they've corrected a few things since they were Bushmaster.
My preferred barrels are from Colt and Daniel Defense.

The old ones I had the FSBs off of were more or less the same, sometimes one of the two pins would be about 80% into the barrel and the other was 100% into the barrel. I also believe that this made the taper pins more of a b!tch to remove than the ones drilled more evenly to be about 50% into the barrel
