I received My 4 for $20 Dupage barrels today,They were all covered with metal dust,so I know They came from cut Receivers.The bores were all full of dark Powder,but after a quick run with a bronze brush revealed Bright shiny bores and super sharp rifling.All muzzles show 1/4" of LC M2 ball,I don't have a TE gauge,so I don't know that,but I don't believe these were fired much as there isn't very much copper streaking at muzzle rifling.Dates are SA 2/52,3/52,6/52,and 10/52.The 2-6/52's all have M's in front of drawing numbers,so I believe that is Magnetic particle tested.None are import marked,and they all have chambers in the white(although 2 are a tiny bit chewed up).I'm pretty happy.

Wow, that is a nice haul. I never know anything about the Dupage handyman stuff until guys start showing it off on the web.
Being at work and isolated all day sucks. I miss out on all the good shit!! :0

Barrels?? What barrels?? I don't see no barrels!! Sounds like somebody got very lucky.
Sounds like the folks at Dupage got a little distracted trying to answer all the phone calls that were coming there way.

When i first looked down the bores(one was packed almost solid) I wouldn't think"100$ barrel",but after a QUICK clean I would say That They are.The stuff was more like Dark dirt,and it was definitely not corrosive.

I'll bet Your order took longer because they had to dig through all the barrels to find You a mix of mint LMR,and WRA barrels.

Bank card says $37.50.
Looks like I'm only getting 4.
Jim never sent an E mail or any order change.
I guess 4 crappy is better than 8 crappy!

Well my 4 finally got here.Glad he didn't ship the 8, I ordered.
Dec 41.is Okay Jan 42.is okay Jan 53 is okay,And DA TA DA Jan 53 converted to .762 is sewer pipe.The bore is black and pitted.
Had to polish the bores.All have high ME's,Looks like Ryan got the best.

Hey John,
Did the 41,and 42 have chromed pads?If Not,They still carry some Premium.I have seen some Early barrels that were Pretty Crappy sell for some good cash>I'll bet You can make a profit! ;)
