If I were buy a Shaw, it will leave me with extra money to buy more tomato juice for bullet testing. I could be famous on the internet for my wisdom gained from the experience. And I'll also have extra money for airplane tickets. Win win.
But it probably ain't gonna' happen when there are far better choices available in barrels than one that is just a small step above a mass-produced factory grade barrel. Granted others might cost more, but I'm a firm believer in that you get what you pay for. Cheaper is very seldom better. In spite of what you might read on the internet from experts who travel that road frequently and who want to be relevant.
Have a nice day, Dusty. Make some red mist to calm your nerves.

Right you are! But look at the clowns that still want to badmouth them! Tsk. Perhaps we should be thankful that only the most mentally impoverished are such a fan of whining all the time.

Clowns, Mentally impoverised?
I don't always knock them, though I have had dealings with them years ago. The rifle I had them rebarrel was a POS (IMO)after they did the rebarrel job. I know your a huge fan of their barrels, as you often remind us how good you believe them to be. I am happy that you enjoy them. I got burned once by them and just have a hard time giving them a second chance when there are so may other gunsmiths with great reputations and other barrel makers that produce excellent barrels.

My apologies. I was referring to only one particular poster and he knows who he is.
Yeah, I know that there are those that have had some not so good Shaw barrels. And once bitten twice shy I am too. But I have been fortunate to never have had a bad one. Everyone has just shot great, been easy to clean, and well worth what I paid for it. I really am not one for brand loyalty as I buy what I like and what works for me. If money was no object then likely all of my rifles would have $600 barrels on them I imagine. But until the day comes when I personally have an issue with ER Shaw barrels I am going to keep buying them. And recommending them as well. You betcha.

Rusty, I'm starting to feel almost guilty for living rent-free in your head ever since we discussed the importance that tomato juice cans played in determining the 5.56MM cartridge/55 Grain HP bullet configuration for the military's new M-16 rifle.
Chill, dude. You're gonna' split your bibbers.

Good deal. It should help your blood pressure and your overall mental health. If you don't peek.
