Hello,
My question is if anyone knows the effects on a barrel's performance from painting it.
The only thing I can think of is that the barrel would be more insulated and would not cool as fast, other than maybe shifting your zero a little.
I am not painting a competition rifle, but I am thinking of painting a rifle, or at least my rifled shotgun.
My shotgun is a rifled barrel that I shoot for accuracy in hunting. The barrel is very thin, so I think it would be more susceptible to warping from the barrel heating.
