    I wonder who the new maker is. The last 2 orders I placed were due to the well known fact that they used FN as a supplier for their Chrome Lined barrels.

    Same for me. I'm curious who their new supplier is, but I'm confident in Centurion's standards and QC.

    Maybe Monte or Corrie will chime in.

    On the Centurion FB forum I mentioned that Corrie has to be thankful for that, what with the number of emails I'm sure she answers on a weekly basis.

    Would have been nice for them to disclose that they are using a new maker. Their description on the website still describes the FN barrels. It could influence purchase decisions and is a little misleading unless the new maker is tapering the bores, using the same barrel steel, and double chrome lining.

    Why even care? If you want an FN barrel, but from FN.

    I bought from Centurion due to the fact that they are a forum vendor that was selling FN barrels. Why even care?

    Be funny....so does Noveske and Hodge.

    We all know that FN builds to customer specs. Comparing Centurion to PSA is laughable.

    Why does it matter where Centurion has their barrels made if the quality remains the same or is improved? Corrie, Monty and team know what they are doing and would never sacrifice their name or reputation.
