could anyone give me an idea what a stainless one of these would be worth. a bloke i know has one which i'm led to believe hasn't be fitted or fired for that matter. he's had it for some years apparently. he's offering it to me for $225 with some arm twisting.

again, imput appreciated.

cheers,

andrew.

I just got a quote for around $485 plus P&H for a stainless barrel from TSE last week. If a 'couple of years old', I'd want to be 100% sure its not from the era where some let go.

yeah that's what i'm worried about. what years were they recalling?

andrewk 225 dollars is a lot of money to pay for something you drive into the ground to tie the dog to...

yeah it would make an expensive garden stake. still doesn't help answer my question though.

forget it buy yourself a quality barrel ..and be done with it..

haha yeah that's a good answer. thinking kreiger.

It was a wrongly identified batch of stainless steel from the overseas supplier that was at fault - not anything done by MAB. You can read up on the facts via the NRAA websites. As long as you can determine 100% that it's not from that batch, you can use it with confidence. If you can't be sure, then forget it...

If its a new barrel, it should have a 'certificate' with it that gives you a batch number ... if that's been lost, may be no way to trace its vintage. Call TSE and ask them.

yeah sent them an email asking about the dodgy batch. hopefully i get an answer.
