Delighted Customer's Comments about BlackStar Barrel Accurizing

I recently put a BlackStar barrel on my AR-15 service rifle. Very, very nice barrel. I surprised and / or annoyed several bolt gunners at the range...

Thanks for making a very uniform barrel with excellent accuracy and performance.

I have a .223 BlackStar. They did the installation and there's was a small problem with the crown when I opened the package. They paid for my gunsmith to fix it -- no questions asked. BlackStar is a FIRST CLASS company in my opinion. I have done business with them since and will do so again.

Dear BlackStar,

My AR15 with your 8 twist barrel shot a number of fantastic groups today, ranging from .285"-.310".

The range conditions were tricky. Since it was pretty hot there was some mirage, and the wind was blowing some. I shot my best groups in a steady right to left, when the flags were calm the mirage was so bad (straight boil) I couldn't really tell where to aim.

I just want to thank you for selling me such a good barrel. It appears to me that you give everybody the "good stuff".

Thanks a Million!

For years, I managed the telephone system which provided service for a major international bank's top management in New York City. Prior to that, I worked in corporate customer service at a major international telecommunications company, servicing the accounts of Fortune 500 companies. Consequently, I know something about good customer service. Unfortunately, most people I deal with do not have the commitment to excellence which I learned in the demanding corporate world, and that is why it is such a pleasure to deal with BlackStar.

Thanks for your patience, attention and your genuine concern for your
customers.

   Dear BlackStar:

   I have had such fantastic luck with my BlackStar Accurized Ruger
   No. 1 that I am now adamant about having ALL of my new rifles
   micro-polished by BlackStar.  The Ruger (in .25-06 Remington)
   shoots my favorite varmint bullet into ½ MOA groups all day, and
   my favorite deer load averages ¾ MOA.  I also greatly appreciate
   the ease of cleaning, especially with a high velocity cartridge like
   the .25-06.  With moly coated projectiles, I only find a faint hint of
   copper after 20 rounds, with velocity at 3650 feet per second.  This
   is a drastic improvement.

   Enclosed is the barrel and receiver from my Weatherby Accumark,
   chambered for the .300 Weatherby Magnum, which I would like to
   have BlackStar Accurized.  I can hardly wait to receive my newest
   BlackStar Accurized barrel and start shooting tiny little groups!

   Thanks,

   Dear BlackStar:

   What a great job you did on my .338 Winchester and my .454 Casull
   revolver!  I tell people that whether you're shooting a high stakes
   match, a leopard or a trophy buck, BlackStar will improve your
   group accuracy and consistency at least 35 percent.  And fouling is
   simply gone.  For example, after 50 rounds, I found NO leading in
   my Casull. It can virtually turn your factory barrel into a custom
   barrel.  Even the best match barrel benefit, and I would recommend
   BlackStar every time!

   BlackStar really does accomplish what its advertising claims to do.  In
   fact, after having several barrels accurized by BlackStar, I knew that
   they were doing a very good thing for accuracy.  I was so impressed
   that I sent my own favorite .280 Ackley to BlackStar for their magic,
   and I recommend their work to all my customers.

   I'm impressed with the BlackStar Accurizing process and the
   BlackStar people.  They're exploring new ground in rifle accuracy,
   and making significant discoveries along the way.  Their
   contributions to accuracy and ease of cleaning are already of major
   importance, and I happen to believe that they've only just begun!

   Dear BlackStar:

   Put me on your list of satisfied customers.  The BlackStar treatment
   is a definite boon to accuracy and is a must for the serious
   handgun hunter.  Ruger sixguns, cast bullets and the BlackStar
   Barrel Accurizing process are a winning team.  After more than 100
   rounds, I can tell you that my old Super Black Hawk shoots better
   than it ever has.  Thanks for your kindness.

   Dear BlackStar:

   At Clifton Arms, we're constantly searching for ways to improve our
   Scout rifles and gunsmithing services.  We have found BlackStar to
   be the most significant development in the firearms industry in
   years.  We will continue to use and recommend your BlackStar
   Barrel Accurizing process because it does what it claims.  Better
   accuracy, slow fouling, easy cleaning and better barrel life are
   virtues that shooters appreciate.

   In forty years of military and sport shooting experience, I have
   never seen a process or product that conveys the benefits
   attributable to BlackStar Barrel Accurizing.  The BlackStar
   Accurized bore demonstrates dramatic improvements in accuracy
   and fouling, and offers the prospect of lengthened barrel life.
   Every hunting rifle in my battery will be enhanced by this
   innovative process.

   Dear BlackStar:

   Thank you for your superb response to my request for assistance
   with the Winchester M70 barrel.  Your quick turnaround on a barrel
   accurizing job enabled my client to take his rifle on a long-planned
   safari.  It was an exceptional demonstration of BlackStar's
   commitment to customer satisfaction.  Thank you for your concern,
   your no-excuses willingness to help and for helping me to correct
   the problem with the barrel.  I am most appreciative.

   Dear BlackStar:

   Just a quick note to express my delight in how your BlackStar
   Barrel Accurizing system has worked on one of my rifles.  I have a
   custom varmint rifle in .22-250 caliber that, at best, got groups equal
   to one inch at 100 yards.  After your BlackStar Accurizing and with
   the exact same factory ammunition, the first five groups I shot were
   less than one-half inch.  An added bonus to the improvement in
   accuracy was the ease with which the barrel can now be cleaned.
   The smoothness of the bore allowed me to remove the copper and
   powder foulings with half the number of patches.  BlackStar has
   made a true believer of me.

   I highly recommend BlackStar to those who seek the ultimate in
   accurate rifles.

   Dear BlackStar:

   After 478 rounds, my barrel has shown NO signs of fouling.  Cleaning
   has consisted of wet patches and a bronze bristle brush.  I cannot
   recall having a barrel that was as easy to clean as this barrel.

   Dear BlackStar:

   The re-barreled 1900 Swedish Mauser that you BlackStar Accurized
   for me has tested out to be a real shooter.  After you finished with it,
   it shoots cluster groups of .40" X .55".  Now, that's what I was
   hoping for originally.  Also, I appreciate the good job and your
   responsiveness to my calls.  There is always some uncertainty when
   sending a rifle into the unknown and having to hope for the best.
   There is a Model 70 Winchester on the way now for one of your
   special barrels.

   I admit that at first I was a skeptic about BlackStar Accurizing rifle
   barrels.  But after trying it, the results have been fantastic. Cleaning
   time has been cut in half and accuracy is excellent.

   Dear BlackStar:

   Your ability to blueprint and polish a barrel is nothing short of
   amazing.  BlackStar Barrel Accurizing delivers a significant and
   quantifiable improvement in accuracy and cleanability.  In fact, for us
   1,000-yard benchrest shooters, BlackStar is the next best thing to
   diplomatic immunity.  Way to go!

   Dear BlackStar:

   I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the BlackStar Accurizing
   job that you performed on my 7mm Mag Ruger No. 1 custom rifle.  It
   significantly improved its accuracy and cleanability, and I suspect
   that I will uncover other advantages as well.  The smoother bore
   made it much easier to clean and has resulted in higher levels of
   velocity as well.

   Dear BlackStar:

   It is readily apparent that BlackStar is a revolutionary advance in
   the improvement of firearm bore performance.  It is without doubt
   that a barrel will benefit significantly from BlackStar, particularly
   in the areas of accuracy, fouling reduction and cleanability.  In my
   long experience with firearms, BlackStar is the only existing
   firearms technology to successfully deliver four major benefits
   simultaneously: improved accuracy, reduced fouling, reduced
   pressures and improved velocities.
