Okay.  We're on the same page.  I agree.
Gun Control?  Oh yes, the theory that becoming a victim is somehow morally superior to defending yourself & your family.  Makes perfect sense.

I got a storm lake a few weeks ago. The barrel is way out of spec. But I did not find that out till I shot it. Contacted them.  They refuse to do anything.  Even though the barrel is way out of spec.  I had to sic my laywer on them.  Still waiting to hear back.  Looks like I might be forced to file in court. 

I will never own a storm lake again.   And that sucks cause they do have good chamber support.

What issues you have for stating it is out of spec?
Bore not aligned? Out of round? Rifling damaged?
Barrel lug machined wrong angles?
Other?

I hear ya.  I was lucky I hadn't shot any ammo through my first one being that Storm Lake says it voids their warranty.  I was even luckier that they replaced mine being that it was outside of their warrany period when I contacted them about it.  But they still replaced it without question.  No question they are serious sticklers though if any ammo has been run through it at all.

They do kind of put us between a rock and a hard place.  Their chamber support is as good as it gets for Glock 10mm platforms, BUT, they have a super strict and tight warranty policy.  I am very happy I have the one I do now, but from this time forward KKM will probably be getting my business for any future aftermarket barrel needs.  Bar-Sto is fine but I'm not willing to pay the price, and Lone Wolf has hogged out the chamber mouth on their newest barrels to the extent I have zero interest in them.

I know The_Shadow already asked, but I'm wondering how it's out of spec too?

What specific 'spec' does the barrel not meet? And after shooting it, what led you to check the barrel against those specs in the first place?

[I'm about 99% confident this question is pissing in the wind, but I thought I'd ask anyway.]
