Our barrels are not made by Remington.

And I did not pick stainless steel because carbon steel with nitriding is more corrosion resistant and durable. And hand-lapping must be used if that is what it takes to get our surface finish spec, but it is a surface finish spec that is called out. We callout measurements, not processes. For example, bore-straightness and bore cross-sectional area are called-out, but not air-gauging as that is just a way to measure a bore. The chamber dimensions are called out in great detail.

On the other hand, you have a custom gunsmith make a barrel and you have no guarantee that the bore cross-sectional area is correct or bore straightness is within some limit.

Think of this as NASA rocket science. Eliminate the voodoo and do it with proper drawings and skilled machinists who can follow drawings.
