[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 1029311, member: 54963"] Rubber is not a good conductor of heat, it will insulate the barrel and slow the dissipation of heat from the barrel. Another concern I would have is that you increase the risk of getting pitting corrosion, even with a stainless barrel. Yes, stainless will pit/corrode. That rubber wrap will trap any moisture, even from humidity, and increase the potential for pitting. Just my .02 cents. [/QUOTE]
