[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1048540, member: 2736"] Ted and Winmagman, Just a question? Is there any Proof that barrel coatings can improve accuracy? I have some experience with chrome lined barrels and they do seem to improve barrel life, but I have never seen one that is as, or more accurate than a good custom un coated barrel. I have also dealt with QPQ coatings and they are so hard that even the carbide tools don't work very good on them. It would be nice to build a very accurate rifle (Tested) and then coat the bore and test it again to see what true effect it has on accuracy. I have a different priority than some, and accuracy is #1 with me so I have been hesitant to risk accuracy loss to gain barrel life, and the ability to re do chambers and throats to original accuracy so I am interested in any experience in this matter. I would like to hear experiences and performance from people that have had this done. Not trying to Hijack this thread or question the use of coatings, just wanting to learn something. Thanks J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
