Lone Wolf barrel scratch

[mrbladedude]

Bought a new Glock 20 Lone Wolf barrel and I noticed this scratch. It is deep enough that my nail catches on it when I run it across it. Frankly I'm annoyed since the barrel costs over $100 and it should be flawless. Should I be concerned about it or do all Lone Wolf barrels come with this scratch...

Sorry, but I see no scratch in either of those pics.

Nor do I.

Do you mean the nick on the left side of the ramp, out of the way of the feedway?

Jim - I see that same thing but I also see something on the right side where the ramp joins the rest of the barrel.
The propblem is that without a closer examination, I can't tell what either of them are.

I assume its the nick on the left. I dont see a functional issue, perhaps a cosmetic one. Personally i wouldnt have an issue with that. If I did Id simply contact the seller/manufacturer and explain the issue and ask for a replacement.

Personally Ive hears good things about the lone wolf products, Ive never owned any as I dont own a Glock. Im surprised the price for a barrel is that low, i thought the decent barrels all started in the 250-300 dollar range. Guess i need to read up on handgun part.

Not familiar with Lone Wolf, but I'm not seeing anything to be concerned about. Install it, shoot it, enjoy it.

"Scratch" is a minor cosmetic feature with no effect other than annoying the purchaser. A quick rub with #400 abrasive should take off any roughness.

Honestly I don't see anything there which might affect the actual function of the barrel. The feed ramp looks nicely polished and overall I would say it looks like a quality barrel. If you have concerns about it I would contact Lone Wolf and discuss it with them.

Yes

An incoming round does not touch that part of the ramp. It is a cosmetic issue only. Shoot it until you are knee deep in brass.........

Lone Wolf has great customer service. They recently helped my brother out with something. I would contact them if the scratch bothers you. I have a few Lone Wolf threaded barrels and they are awesome, sorry to hear you got one with a scratch.

That's not a functional issue, just a cosmetic one. It won't affect feeding or lockup. LWD is located about an hour north of me and I have been there in the past. They have several checks for barrels including a headspace in slide check. You may contact them and see if there is anything they can do. Never hurts to ask.

This?


Goodness, I was peering closely at the polished surfaces of the feedramp and chamber looking for a scratch, areas where a scratch might actually be an issue.

If that little nick bothers you, contact Lone Wolf ... or polish it out yourself ... or use it as-is since it will not have any adverse effect on function.

FWIW, I would just use it as-is.

I've in the customer service industry for almost 20 years, if you're not COMPLETELY satisfied then get your $$$ back.

I would have invested in KKM.
