Yep Andy told the fella he'd got a lemon, needed new barrel. I know who's rifle it was originally, he owns a Hunting & Fishing store... I'm pretty sure that job wasn't done by a gunsmith (thank goodness), didn't look like it had either, a little rough. Pretty sure it was a home job with the angle grinder or he got a buddy from an engineering shop to grind it down. Peak pressure would be in that first inch or so of the barrel eh?! 300wsm is a pretty decent round...
