[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2683747, member: 78056"] WapitiBob, those little black lines are not carbon, they are cracks in the barrel! They might be filled with carbon but they are cracks none the less. This barrel is not long for the world, although it might still be shooting pretty well for the time being... but it's just a matter of time. Some folks call it heat checking and it can be caused by over heating the barrel and sometimes by a hot round, like my .22 CHeetah. 22-250 is another one that does this to barrels, sometimes after very few rounds (as in 200 or so). Any overbore cartridge can fall victim to it. Once it's like that, there's nothing that I'm aware of that can stop it, it will only continue to get worse. I should probably try fo get pics of my CHeetah, it looks like my gravel driveway! Time to start saving for a new barrel! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
