My complaint concerning Krieger barrels was that a previous barrel had shifted POI 3'' from cold to hot. It was a 1" heavy barrel in a Mini 14, which I will admit is not a benchrest platform. After eliminating all the usual suspected causes, I found that with the barreled receiver, clamped to a surface plate, warm water forced through the bore would deflect the muzzle .015", every time, and zero when cold. .015" from an 18" barrel is 3.000" at 100 yds. Problem located, I called Krieger, they sounded interested, told me they would call me back, they never did. After no reply, I tried to stress relieve the barrel myself ( I have a welding/machine shop.) The stress relief worked, the shift was gone, but the internal dimensions must have changed, the previous accuracy was gone. I called Krieger again, told them the whole story and at their request, sent the barrel to them, two weeks later they sent it back saying it was good enough.
I have since replaced the barrel with a Select Match Shilen, nice tight groups, no POI shift.
Along the same lines, the November issue of Precision Shooting featured an article on the Fulton Armory M1 Garand, using a Krieger barrel. One the few complaints about the rifle was that it strung shots vertically when hot. No surprise to me! The issue is that Krieger cryo treats their blanks before machining, but no heat treatment stress relief after machining. My complaint is that a premium barrrel shouldn't warp!
