Has anyone run one or have knowledge of someone running one? I picked one up for a steal, unfired, with a couple handling marks but I can"t seem to find any shooter reviews on them. All seem to come from Wilson's site. Not worried about quality but I'm not overly fond of the profile or LW barrels in general so before I go and shoot it or refinish it, I'd like some opinions. Don't wanna screw with it if I end up wanting to sell or trade it.

This is the barrel:

Wilson used to use ER Shaw blanks. I assume they still do. Retail cost is overpriced IMO.

Yep. I have one of their 16" 300 BLK barrels, it's fine but unexceptional. Unless you're getting the narrel for around a hundred bucks get something else.
