I've read somewhere that a glass bead blasted barrel will cool faster than a fluted barrel. It seems the thousands of tiny dimples left by the beads lose heat faster than flutes.
I want to apply a heavy bead blast to a stainless Winchester rifle. Would this be redundant? I'd like it to be matte grey instead of silver as well as have the factory barrel cool faster...
Has anyone else heard of this? Any scientific type studies, links, insight, or thoughts would be appreciated.
