UD, you can actually get about 800+ shots out of the RUM if you build it right. It has to be a SS barrel. You have to send it off to be hardened after you cut the chamber in it. The hardening process costs as much as the Lilja barrel. When it comes back, the barrel will flat eat up a reamer if you try to make any further mods. (found that out the hard/expensive way)

I have not built one of either, but know someone who has built a few of each. Rum replaced WBY several years ago.
