[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1873398, member: 93138"] I've read the tech articles that I've found on the topic with regard to racing parts, but have only seen one or two about firearms parts. One place where Cryogenic H-T seems to really pay off is in brake rotors. Cryo'd brake rotors have been shown to last longer in the same use than un-treated rotors. This is interesting because the life of a brake rotor is very much about abrasive wear and large thermal cycles. Seems like those brake rotor results would directly translate to a barrel life improvement, but how to quantify that is problematic. [/QUOTE]
