[QUOTE="Traxxis, post: 1154063, member: 8980"] My reference was simply for the purpose of determining if it's life started as a drop-in or NM. I realize there's a difference between the two... which makes one "drop-in" and one "gunsmith" fit. ;) Whether or not it's a pro vs con... I don't really care, as long as it's properly fitted to the gun, it's fine by me, but again, he asked for feedback on the big manufactures, so I gave it. I say it's a pro in that it helps them deliver a consistent product in a consistent time frame. But a con for somebody expecting a NM barrel and getting a drop in. But in reality, there really aren't many smiths that use full NM barrels anymore. I was talking to the owner of Kart barrels Tuesday about his EZ fit vs the NM and he was saying that almost everybody orders EZ fit's now vs the NM, from the FBI, Dept. of Homeland Security contracts to well known smith shops. It's just too easy (no pun intended) and the drop-ins (if done right of course) can be just as accurate. Of course the Bullseye guys beg to differ. Now, I will admit, there is a chance I could be wrong on them using drop-in's on all but their super grade (or whatever they call it) because in the quick search I did, I wasn't able to find any pictures of WC's disassembled to see if they are marked "D" or not. I'll do some more digging. [/QUOTE]
