Like Tim said, I wouldn't let the first time ruin it for you. I have had a problem with them before, but they did fix it. I was out of my 223 during varmint season for a long time-2 trips back to the factory. But they did fix it, and all is well.
I personally think the barrel program is at it's best if a person has at least 2 seperate Handis. So you can still enjoy both barrels, while the other frame is getting fitted.
