It's a roll of the dice. You may get one that works OK, another where the bolt won't lock up properly.
They are better than they were a year or so ago, but I wouldn't waste my money on one.

How is the accuracy?
I'm thinking about buying one of their barrels for the hell of it.
With Bear Creek it is hit or miss as far as quality, and too often a miss from what I've heard.
I know one guy who has quite a few Palmetto State products and is overall happy even after sending a couple of uppers back to be fixed.
I don't have that kind of tolerance with a vendor/manufacturer.
A cheap barrel if accurate has its uses for letting newbies blast off a lot of Ammo.

You’ll just have to try it out and see, from what I’ve seen if you have a bad one you’ll know it pretty quick.

If I wanted a cheap blaster barrel I’d probably get one from Right to Bear, I honestly don’t know anything about their barrels but they’ve been great to deal with so far and I’d feel comfortable buying their house brand stuff for something like that.

That looks fun especially with some skunk essence added to an enemy position

I shot an upper I just built with one of their 7.62x39 barrels Sunday and it worked great.  Opened up a chest sized group at 100 yards with the cheapest nastiest Russian ammo money can buy, no issues.

I got one of their ss 10.5"  barrels when on sale from PA.  As of right now I have had around 300-400rds through it and everything has been GTG.  For 50 bucks I am more than happy.  YMMV.
