[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 2015716, member: 26535"] In my unscientific testing it seems the manufacturer claims are true. The chamber stays cooler over shot strings. It seems the barrel is moving heat away from the chamber and radiating from the barrel quicker so the heat isn’t sitting in the material (which is what happens with a high specific heat capacity material like steel). The mirage coming off the barrel is far less at the same time as the rifle is maintaining a cooler chamber. That to me backs up the claims. [/QUOTE]
