You're not starting a thing, man. I know those are fine barrels. Price isn't everything, but its a factor and I feel like Geissele is leveraging their market penetration to join the game at the stated price. Will it last? No idea. Is it enough to inspire a guy to step up from a less expensive barrel? Probably, at least for certain parts of the demo. I don't have proof talent. Rosco has barrels somewhere in the military, but at that price, you know they aren't making long range assassin barrels.

I'd probably give my money to Centurion out of that group, but I want the thing while I'm still able to shoot. G is bringing capacity (which gives some assurance of availability), specs, and price point.

Like I said, if it's a loser, I'm not out a fortune. If it's a performer, I saved half of what you paid. Either way, I ain't gonna do the "just as good as" thing. A good product makes its own rep.
