[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 903697, member: 43153"] I definitely don't plan on "sending it out" anywhere to get it blasted, because that would probably triple the cost, due to shipping charges. I read somewhere about scotch-brightening an SS (shiny stainless) barrel in order to dullen out the shine, but I'd be worried that it might not look very good afterwards. But at least it IS shootable with it's shiny finish, and seeing how well it shoots is something I can't wait to do. The action wrench, which I ordered from midway 3 months ago along with a 7RUM go-gauge, IS supposed to get here today (I already have the barrel-nut wrench). I had to split up the order because the go-gauge is STILL on backorder. So at this point, I'm forced to make due with a sized fresh cartridge to headspace the barrel off of. This WILL be my first time barrel-swapping on a 700 action. Should I use any sort of thread treatment, such as green or blue loctite, or maybe even some anti-sieze compund, on it? [/QUOTE]
