Ugggh just when I narrow it down to Geissele Mk4 and Centurion CMR, now this gets tossed into the mix.
The DD rails breaking were the barrel nut If I recall correctly. They have since redesigned the nut, like the ones on the RIS 2.
You are wrong, Hammer forged is a much quicker and easier process. It is also cheaper as a result (negating equipment cost, which is why only large manufactures use the process). Cut is the most expensive, slowest, and generally accepted as the best method. Krieger and Bartlien (and Rock Creek), the two most popular benchrest and comp barrels (Krieger used to be king, but bartlien has taken over) out there. They both are Cut rifled. Kriger uses old WW2 Pratt and Whitney machines and Barlien uses modern CnC. Bartlien is owned and staffed by former Krieger employees. Goes to show you the knowlege and experince matter just as much as the machinery.
Quality button riffled and CHF can also be made. Lija and Hart are both very good quality Button, and Sako/Tikka make amazingly accuracte CHF barrels.
Yet there is a reason people who are paying $3K+ to a smith to build them a shooter are using Bartlien and Kreiger. Ask George Gardner at GAP why they use what they use.
