[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 1692267, member: 28741"] Great post Zym! I've long thought, just intuitively mind you, that the CF actually insulates the barrel, rather than helping cool which I've heard people suggest. I mean, if it doesn't get hot, then where's the heat going?? Anyway - "thermal shock" - Thank you for mentioning it. I've also wondered if there is a problem along those line with my ice cooling method. So I don't ever hold the ice bag in 1 spot for long; I slowly run it up and down the barrel / receiver. Do you think this damages the metal? And as I said, I let the remaining heat redistribute to areas that were in cooled a bit with the ice. [/QUOTE]
