Friend's rifle was butchered at local shop....

That looks like the result of using a die grinder with an abrasive wheel. There are several places where you can see skip marks where this "pro" let his "tool" slip out of the "port" and ride down the outside of the barrel.

Sheesh... lots of quote-unquoting there. . . Probably would have looked better if he's used a hack saw.

Looks more like a 91/2" grinder...is there any reason theyre not the same size?....shape?

They're hand-crafted.

It looks like the first shot will take the end of the barrel with it...

Here's another example of fine workmanship...

Revolver Barrel Porting Fail


... I'm pretty sure I could do at least that good, and I make no claim to being a smith or armorer of any kind!

Is that a musical instrument?

Fist I want to thank you all for your comments. This thread was about my experience. In the end Keith the armorers did me right. He took ownership of the work. He replaced my barrel with a Daniel Defense 1:7 to replace the BCM 1:7. He put on a BCM gas block which replaced the YHM. Finally he got me a spikes Dynacomp to replace the YHM flash
Hider. He asked if he could put the new barrel together and he did a great job.

Very glad it got taken care of! Unfortunately it never should have left his shop that way and there's zero chances I will be doing business with this company in the future. Glad it worked out!

Great news - glad it all worked out for you.

you guys both learned from it, looks like.

A man (or shop) is only as good as his weakest product (or attribute).

Thankfully, they made everything right and replaced everything. My buddy allowed the armorer to pin and weld the barrel since he took the time to properly learn how to do it.

Here's how it ended up:
