How is Gray- Star Technologies?
« on: April 15, 2007, 10:29:10 AM »
 Hi all, I started out with small cannon, but ( being hooked ) I am looking for a bigger barrel for a new project.  I found Gray- Star Tec. and they have what looks like some nice guns. Has anyone had one of their barrels, and how are they to do business with?  Having dealt with Cannon Mania and of course getting burned! I'm a bit wary.  

     Thanks for your help.  Smoke n oak

There have been problems with Graystar.  They were the first listing on our cannon list to have a warning.  For a long time they told people that seamless liner was unnecessary.  We argued back and forth with them and finally they added the option of a seamless liner and we took our warning down from their listing.

Then we had two different people come on here and report that their liners were crooked.  The first one was a bit of a battle but Graystar finally stood behind their product and replaced the defective barrel.

The second barrel was a little less problem but Graystar replaced that one also.   

Here are some of the links.

If i were buying as barrel from Grey-star I would be inclined to ask if the would certifiy that their liner meets  N-SSA standards.
