[QUOTE="bman73, post: 500422, member: 31591"] I would be leary of doing that, the reason being is that you are not going to be able to cool the surface of the barrel evenly over the entire lengthand could cause it to contract at a differnt rate in one spot compared to another. As a millwright when I am installing bearings and I need to heat the bearing or cool the housing on an interference fit I submerge the entire part or bearing into either hot oil or a mix of alchohol and dry ice to ensure even temperature distribution. Not too sure if it's as big a deal when compared to a rifle barrel or not but thats my opinion. [/QUOTE]
