[QUOTE="4mesh063, post: 29133, member: 941"] Charlie, You said you have some background with metals, so here's a question for you. If, IF, the steel actually had stress in it and we magically removed it in the cryo process, or even if it got removed in an oven, wouldn't the barrel warp to some degree? My barrels have allways been pretty straight when I got em, and when I took em off. (rolled on a surface plate). Is it possible to remove any stress (of any significance) and have a 30" piece of steel 1.250 dia stay straight within .005, like well within). Actually our surface plate is only 24" but diagonally, it's almost long enough to check the whole 30". Even over 24", they just don't wobble. Even after I've tapered em with one end chucked up and the other in a center, they're straight as a pin. If I did that with a piece of cold rolled, it'd be a banana when I unchucked it. [/QUOTE]
