[QUOTE="1mechanic, post: 2875570, member: 116213"] According to your thought process then shooting a barrel till it gets really hot should change the structure of the metal yet every barrel I’ve ever shot when it cooled down went right back to the same poi. Engine blocks with high heat burning fuel on one side of a cylinder with cool water on the other side don’t have problems. I don’t think a barrel with a lot thicker steel is going to warp with a cooling fluid going through it. And as far as the fouling inside the barrel I would think the next shot with high heat and friction would have more affect on the fouling than cooling it. But I like to hear thinking outside the box, sometimes I think outside the box too. [/QUOTE]
