I’m a barrel ringer. I cut wooden matchsticks to jam the extractors. These barrels rang just fine when I tested it at purchase a couple of years ago. I believe the barrel ringing gives false positives and false negatives. I do it anyway. I have found solder gaps between the rib and barrel on some guns using the test.
