Mitch, I'm probably biased about this, and I have never owned a Swan barrel.
There is a reason why MADDCO barrels are so difficult to obtain ................ there is a long back log of orders for them.
This is because they are so good (One of the Best barrels made), and everybody wants them.
This leave to door open to others, to fill the void (enter Mr Swan, etc).
Accuracy International made their name using MADDCO barrels, and a whole heap of other people (like myself), have used them for years.
I could go on but I'm sure you get the picture (they are worth the wait!).
Doh!
