I know a few folks who have said they’ve had issues with Columbia River Arms/Black Hole Weaponry in recent years, especially some funky stuff with finances moving into a new shop and then back... but...
I’ve built rifles with over 30 BHW barrels in the last ~10yrs, and all of them have been sub-MOA rifles, fast barrels, and easy cleaning.
