What do you guys make of this? Are some Lothar Walter Barrels coming for the 'z' rifles?

It would be awesome if true! Barra's descriptions are lacking. I hope this is a thing.

Considering what 'twitch' reported (reply #42) that Barra told him, I'm optimistic that they have these LW barrels being machined???

I don't think I'll buy another rifle from Barra considering they knew about the barrel issues and are still shipping out 'trash' barrels like you received! Even though I was lucky and got a near perfect barrel on my 250z, I don't trust Barra after seeing what the sold you (and likely others).

Sorry you are having to deal with this barrel issue..., like many other owners also experienced.

It is what it is i guess. however, since my last message to you they had responded by email stating that they are in the works of tracking down a competition grade barrel for me because I...

Did not think of weighing them, i know that the LW barrel is 2 mm larger in diameter than stock.

Same hole at 50 yrds., I will stretch it out to 100 tomorrow or Saturday

New LW barrels made a 0.3" group at 100 yrds. With 25 grain Knock out slugs, Maybe I'll try the Airmarksman Ace 40 grain and see how far it can keep a tight group.

Is yours the .22 or .25?

.22 with slug power kit and plenum

I've been 'on the fence' about buying one of these new LW barrels as my stock barrel shoots pellets so well. Been trying to justify the purchase of the LW by thinking I might get slugs to shoot from that barrel.

At any rate, I waited too long and both calibers (.22 & .25) are 'sold out' again. If Barra orders another run of the LWs I'll need to make up my mind more quickly.
