Agree on the mirror finish not being generally “good”. Funny thing though, my understanding is that Evol barrels are polished to a shine from the factory…

Yep, they are shinny from the one and only I’ve seen. I don’t have a bore scope to do a thorough inspection but just looking down the barrel, it’s polished pretty well. I hope things work out for you. I’m waiting to hear back from AOA about spares. Maybe by the end of the week they’ll get back to me.

My barrel was very much shiny but didn't lead up much.

As for the AEA pellets I would try others also. Unfortunately besides my JTS 18gr pellets all other JTS and AEA pellets I've tried produce good results but with flyers. Could be ammo as well.

Fair point! I tried JTS and JSB (18 through 25gr) with similar/worse results… AEA 18gr were te best out of the bunch. All 20-22gr were poop, 25 better than 22 but worse than 18. Though I didn’t try 25gr at proper speeds. Maybe I have to try more.

If you did try a bunch of pellets then that's not looking good for the barrel. The rings aren't helpful. Maybe you can get a new Sub MOA as a replacement whenever those come out
