[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 190308, member: 10"] Well, obviosuly from those pictures your barrel is as pollished as a brand new Lilja that has been taken right out of the shipping bag. That is truely amazing my friend. Being as we are on the web, I have no way of confirming or disproving that these pictures are taken off a barrel with any where near this many rounds down the tube. Hell, from the pictures, Can not even say they are pics of a barrel that is even on a receiver and if it is on a receiver, hard to tell what section of barrel the pics are taken from. A wider view of the origins of the lands where you could actually tell it was the origins would be much better. You would also be able to get a better idea of rounds down the bore inspecting the throat condition and origins. That said, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and believe what your saying. What I will add to this, I have set barrels back on many 338 rifles in this class and rebarreled many times more with many of then having similiar rounds down the barrel as your barrel. Heat cracking has always been present in barrels with more then 400-500 rounds down the bore. Some are still shooting fine at 1000 rounds but there is obvious heat cracking none the less. There are very few top end smiths in the country, this or yours that would hear your comments and not raise their eye brows a bit at least. Again, no way to prove or disprove your statements so I will give you the benefit of the doubt and believe what you say, it is however extraordinary results and I have never seen this before with any barrels, even the very hard ones such as Rock and Kreiger. Whos barrels do you use to get this kind of barrel life or are we only allowed the knowledge that you use only High Grade barrels. Thanks for that tip, I have only been using Lilja, Kreiger, Rocks and Broughtons. I want new barrels that will get me that kind of barrel life with no heat cracking at all, they would be of great use with my larger Allen Magnums. As far as cryo treating, I have tested that idea. It does seem to make a barrel clean easier but I have never seen where it prevents heat cracking in any measurable way, new one to me. But again, I am new at this compared to some out there.;) Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
