[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 969252, member: 9551"] All of the paint options will slow the cooling of the barrel when you shoot it. Nitrocarburizing will not change the heat exchange characteristics of the barrel. Nitrocarburizing also costs about $100 a barrel depending on who does it and who ships it. I have had several painted barrels and have just recently retired the last one for a longer life nitrocarburized barrel. Why wouldn't you want a barrel that lasts longer and shoots cooler? [/QUOTE]
