[QUOTE="Dzaw, post: 144847, member: 7794"] Thank you, that fills in some holes in the grand picture I have brewing in my head. The cold barrel, first shot stability is a factor I had overlooked. It's kind of a moot issue anyhow. I was relying on the cooling effects proper carbon wrapping can have on a barrel to synergize with some of the other factors to mitigate erosion. By itself, it won't help barrel life very much, but with some of the other things I had in mind, it makes and important addition to the "team". Unfortunately, I did some research over the last several hours, and found some very negative information about most carbon wrapped barrels. While I have no doubt about the cooling performance of ABS barrels, they seem to be the only ones capable / willing to produce this product properly, and they're SWAMPED with orders! That puts a pretty big damper on things. Perhapse in the next few years someone else will catch on and help make that process a bit closer to mainstream. Only having one small shop in the world doing it right is a bit of a handicap to making any headway. Not that I don't think I'll have them do one. I have just about all the peices in place. Bartlein will for a small custom tooling fee cut the rifling the way I want it. I have to ask if they will use the steel I want, but as flexible and accomidating as they sounded, I have little doubt that it would take anyhting more than a tooling wear upcharge for that. The nitriding is still a black hole price wise. I need to call Northeast back about that. And then there's the carbon wrapping. One small custom shop is more than enough to do just my barrel, and so when I'm ready to do this, it'll be included. However, only having one small custom shop available kinda kabosh's the idea of making it into a product offering. [/QUOTE]
