WoodjackJclayton,
Thankyou. I was chatting with Mr.Hagn the other day,and he also stated that Smith barrels are a mighty fine product.I was aware of RKS, but did not immediately associate it with RonSmith. Though I do now vaguely remember the two being mentioned together somewhere some time ago. I did ask Mr.Hagn about other cut barrel brands,he showed little interest,indicating straight away that he has tried the others and was extremely confident with the quality of the Smith product.
3 months is not a problem.
once gain thankyou.

Idaho SharpshooterWoodjack, you lost part of the quote. "...unless someone is shooting at you it's all small shit...". Ranger School circa summer 1968.
Ron Smith's barrels have won many black powder cartridge silhouette matches, and several Schuetzenfest regional and national championships. He is a shooter. IIRC he flies fire fighting planes during the summer up there.

ForrestBI have two Smith barrels (.308 and .375) and they seem to be the equal of a Krieger in every repect. It's interesting that Smith makes almost every caliber except a .277"; it must be a Canadian thing.

Idaho SharpshooterForrestB, are you at the pig hunt with Tigger and Jeffe and Neal? I just got a call, they bought all of the M30's I had purchased at lunchtime today. They all sounded "sweet as a Georgia Peach", rowdy Texicans!
