I know that Blackthorne is notorious for being bad. What do ya'll think about just the barrel? If I wanted just the barrel would it be safe to purchase since there are no moving parts involved?

I don’t think the exclusion of moving parts would make or break a barrel. There are plenty of ways for a sub-par manufacturer* to screw up a barrel too.

*(Not that I’m saying Blackthorne is sub-par. I personally have no experience with them.)

That is kinda my thought but I have only heard bad things of their small parts and more or less the action. I just didn't know if they could still make a good barrel.

A friend of mine was buying a Vulcan parts Kit, I tried to stop him.
When it arrived it looked like used parts for some of it, the bolt carrier is wierd.
