[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 588197, member: 30902"] The reading I've done on the subject tells me that to recieve maximum benefit what really needs to happen is that both the heat treating and cry treatment needs to be done before any machining. If I were in the Op's shoes what I'd probably do is after the initial break in is complete pull have the whole thing melonited, or at least the barrel and maybe cryo treat after. Is there any guranteed that either/both is going to make a significant difference? No, but it might be worth doing as an experiment. If nothing else both processes seem to help reduce fouling and thus make cleaning easier during the service life of the barrel. [/QUOTE]
