I guess they are shipping these retro barrels out to match how they were in the 50-60’s also. No packing grease and inside full of surface rust. I already called Brownells and told them the issue and offered to send pictures. They didn’t want them and shipped the new barrel the next business day after I sent the original back. I wish I had kept the original, the new one seems to have more rust inside of it. I don’t think you could get much more surface rust before it starts to pit. Just sad they don’t place some packing grease in them. I would be a lot more upset if they weren’t on sale. Rant over. It is what it is and I guess I will clean it and then copper line it..... just a heads up if anyone else is thinking of getting a 308 retro barrel....
