CZ-457 & EABCO match barrels, anybody try one?

[scamp62]

Has anybody try one of these? I have one, and I’m not impressed, My factory Varmint is more constant, and I’m getting stuck brass in the chamber, they pop out with a cleaning rod. I’m using good match ammo, SK, Eley, Lapua, & Norma.
The groups go from 1.5” to 2.5” at 100 yards, swap out to the factory barrel and I’m getting .75” to 1.5”. I like the longer Barrel (EABCO 24”) I hate to think I have a new $300.00 jack handle.

How does the powder blast pattern on the crown look?
An uneven powder blast denotes an uneven crown.
Stuck fired cases can be burrs or roughness in the chamber that can be smoothed out.
Shortening any barrel almost always makes it more accurate because any barrel gets stiffer when you shorten it.

Hay Randel! If I had you chop off an inch or 2 (I do not need a threaded barrel) and crown it, what would I be looking at cost-wise?
As always...Thank you!!

Is the barrel a straight bull contour or a tapered contour?

$70 to shorten and recrown a straight barrel.

What is your schedule looking like AR15 Barrels?

EABCO isn't known for "match" quality. Who makes their barrels?
