Drum mentioned 'rings' in the barrel bore, perhaps the ream was clogged on the last pass for the barrel channel, might just need honing..

alarmist....and brute!

I noted no significant problems of alignment in his clamp. You can feel the gap between the clamp and the solid body, but otherwise the barrel area feels smooth.

However, when you look into the bore/barrel area (with barrel removed) and in the right light, you can see something like 1 or 2 rings that are just barely perceptible. Also, the barrels that we tried to jam in exhibited circular marks where the barrels were rubbing on something inside.

My advice to Mike was to leave the Blazer, which shoots very nicely, alone and build a collection of barrels that do fit.

yeah that makes alot of sense, I thought NO barrels, fit... I would get barrels that fit it and leave it be.

I'm thinking that might be the direction I will take.
After talking to Craig about this, it might just be easier to hang on to it and get barrels to fit.
All the guns have their quirks (although I don't like this quirk) I can work around it.
You guys know anybody local with a lathe

Why would one need a "collection" of barrels? With wedgited PPS goodness, I can see someone wanting maybe one of each length (8", 10" and 12"), but do you really need more than one barrel?

(this from someone who's had as many as 6 different Blazer barrels at one time - but I found that none shot as well as the 12" matched, ported barrel that came with it, though I do hate porting)
