Read an interesting article about barrels on the Fulton Armory website. They made an effort to point out the superiority of cut rifling like the somewhat expensive Kreiger barrels. Especially since the barrels are so thin at the end. Sounded plausable to me, but they sell them and install them, so they could be biased, but there is apparently a range of quality of barrels out there. Suppose the Kreiger would be my choice for putting on a keeper or match gun. I once had a Citadel put on a Garand though, and it seemed satisfactory to me, not as if I shoot for competition. SOme have said that brand used to be junk, now is better, etc. but it is certainly cheaper. I would not dream of rebarreling a Garand myself, with no experience. SOme folks out there have done a ton of the M1 barrels though and know the tricks and how to make a good safe shooter. But I don't know any down south from experience.
