[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 904484, member: 5219"] It is going to sound weird but you could take a small DA sander like my 5" black and decker and dull the barrel's shine. I did this with a huge bartlein barrel. You could try it on an old barrel to see if you like it. Even an old orbital will make a pattern on the steel. I used 220 grit but I wonder if a non woven style hook and loop pad (see link) would also work.
