I did some looking online at reviews, and apparently they are hit or miss on feed issues and extraction. I was hoping someone had some hands on experience that could shed some light.

I just looked into the Hastings barrels and they want shy of $500 for a barrel. Seems like my best option would be to pick through the litter and find a jap 28” invector. Thanks
