Not sure if any of you have been to Vang Comps website lately, but they have a new vang comp barrel offered. IT is a custom Bar-sto barrel machined from one solid piece of bar stock plus treated for heat and all that crap. They claim the custom barrel improves accuracy, groups, and everything else. Do you think this barrel is all as great as claimed or is it just a marketing hype? Here is the description of the new barrel from http://vangcomp.com
"BAR-STO / VANG COMP SYSTEMS
Shotgun Barrels & Accessories
Introducing the new BAR-STO / VANG COMP shotgun barrels. BAR-STO will manufacture the shotgun barrels to the same exacting standards that make their pistol barrels famous. The material is 416 Stainless heat-treated 38 to 40 RC. The barrel will be machined out of one solid piece. The Locator Lug will be professionally installed by a brazing process. The barrels will be coated with a proprietary hard coating that will give it an extremely high wear-ability. They will also be heavier for added strength and durability. The VANG COMP SYSTEMS internal dimensions and our patented porting system will be used. This will provide unheard of accuracy, durability, and consistency for the shot-gunning systems. This will also provide a Self-defense and Law Enforcement Shot-gunner the ultimate in accuracy from all types of buckshot and slugs. We hope to have the barrels ready for sale in Mid-March. We will also be offering a few options for the competitor, so keep a close eye on the VANG COMP SYSTEMS and BAR-STO web sites. This is only the beginning. The shot-gunning arena will never be the same! Orders are now being taken for this barrel, so call BAR-STO Precision Machine at (760)367-2447. You can email an order by going to www.barsto.com.
Winchester 1300, Mossberg 590, 590A-1, and Remington 1187 owners, contact BAR-STO Precision at (760)367-2447 to purchase your barrels."
