[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 109492, member: 2011"] Barrel may be "small" bored per discussion w/Kirby regarding Lilja barrels. Interior of barrel is smooth as a new born baby's butt.... Zero/ziltch/naada copper fouling that is, 40 shots wipe out over night no blue color. Only grungy RL-22 residue Shooting 58.9 gr RL-22 and Hor 140 BTSP interlocks @ 3200. Outside of bbl is fine beaded w/some kind of a very light (read thin) black finish. Was done by a Lilja recommended smith in Grand Junction Colorado. Who did an outstanding job by the way. Still like those groups in the 1s when the sun/moon/stars line up. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] RE flutes: Won't flute this one but the next on is to be a Lilja #7 with 50 cal flutes. Same cal. but much larger case. I think the flutes are a good choice on that one. Edited below: OBTW - Its a 12 twist and the other barrel, the Douglas, was a 10 and had my own slow rust blue job which was to be a redo of my original slow rust brown (which was beautiful BTW) but when I touched it w/a stainless brush it turned blue. This process BTW puts the toughest finish on metal that I've had on any of my rifles. Thanks for the info guys. [/QUOTE]
