OUCH! Thats gonna leave a mark! reddog you know that ain't true. They use old sewer pipe for Savage barrels.

Electrical tubing. I heard that Hi-Point is going to buy Savage.

So if BDL barrels are better than ADL barrels then my Classic in 6mm should have the best barrel Remington produces.

All joking aside, I have had different smiths tell me that no barrel, after market or factory are 100% straight. They are have a curve in them. When they install them, they index the curve pointing up or down, never right or left. Any truth to that???

That's what I've always heard.
The run-out is usually indexed to the top.
And the amount of run-out doesn't affect the accuracy of the barrel.

The barrels's outside dimensions aren't really "crooked". The run-out is in the bore itself.

I watched a tv program about firearm manufacturing and assembly at Savage arms. The barrel straightening station was a highlight of the pre-assembly segment.

Jeff's correct, its not as though you can look down the barrel and it looks bent or crooked.
