Ryan,
Welcome to the community. I am from ND and feel compelled to dispel the fake news. Pattern welded barrels are in fact safe here in the Dakotas. Our weather does not affect the metallurgical properties like it does in Ohio. Have fun, ask questions, and enjoy your gun after carefully evaluating the safety aspects of your particular firearm.
